Hand painted Pastel Flower Garden



 This week I continued the florals I have been doing in recent weeks just because it feels very bright and summery and makes me happy even though we have yet to really have a summer so far in
Portland and it is already June :( . I used Sally Hansen HD polish that I got at my local Dollar Tree which is an absolutely gorgeous shimmery duochrome teal blue/pinkish color. I have to say I was slightly disappointed in the color payoff because on the nails it looks pretty much just like a shimmery teal blue and you lose some of that duo chrome that makes it so special in the bottle. But then I added a variety of different flowers in pastel colors on my accent fingers making sure no one was alike the other. I finished off with a few swirl and dotted accents. I hope you enjoy this nail design and that you have a great week!! Thanks for reading <3
