Nails: Flower Nailart using OPI and Silkygirl

OPI Just Groovy with OPI Blue Moon Lagoon & Flower prints on top


Close Up (Look at the beautiful shimmer from Blue Moon Lagoon)

OPI Blue Moon Lagoon in bottle

Yes I know I am fickle but I can't help it. I found ANOTHER love. LOL. I got this old OPI called Just Groovy from some time back and I used to adore this colour. I still likes it alot but I sorta got bored of it because it's a cream finish. But well OPI Blue Moon Lagoon entered the picture and BAM was I hook! Blue Moon Lagoon is pretty sheer when it comes to colour intensity but it's such an inteesting colour!!! It has this silvery blue tint and very very fine gold shimmers! When I applied this on top of Just Groovy, it didn't take away the original colour of the Just Grovvy but instead made it more interesting. Can you imagine how excited I was when I discovered that?! Hahaha!

I truly HIGHLY recommend OPI Blue Moon Lagoon polishes to everyone! Honestly, you will not regret getting it. It's very pretty on its own and it can be used as a top coat to add shimmers to your other creme polishes. It's pretty hard to find but you ladies can buy it from http://nailsloveopi.com/ like I did. ^^ For blue nail polish lovers, do check out Just Groovy too ^^ it's from the Psychedelic Summer Collection. :P It should be available on http://nailsloveopi.com/ too.

Anyway, I wanted to take some swatches to show you ladies what I meant but I love my current nail designs too much to take i off and swatch so I will give you ladies the detailed swatches later using fake nails. ^^

Here's what I did on my nails in order:

  • Orly Ridgefiller Base Coat
  • OPI Just Groovy Nail Polish
  • OPI Blue Moon Lagoon Polish
  • Dab a couple of drops of Silkygirl while nail polish on a piece of paper
  • Using an fine eyeliner brush, swirl brush in while nail polish for a couple of seconds
  • Dab 5 dots of nail polish onto nails forming the 5 petals of a flower (refer to no. 1 on diagram below)
  • Using a toothpick, scrap off some nail polish from the centre of the dots outwards as demonstrated by the lines in no. 2 on the diagram below.
  • Using the other end of the tooth pick swirl it in any green/yelloy polish (I used OPI Sit Under the Apple Tree) and apply a single dot in the centre of the 5 dots.
  • Apply Seche Vite Fast Drying Top Coat (*Grin* we are done!)
