Hello, friends!  Today is the first nail art collaboration that I am co-hosting with Piniel of Pin’s Place and the theme is Pantone’s Color of the Year, Radiant Orchid.

I have been totally inspired by the teasing taste of spring weather we’ve been getting here and so I decided to embrace the floral theme of this post for my manicure.  I learned how to do this simple flower years ago when I first got into nail art (probably middle school) and thought the white flowers with dark purple centers would be the perfect compliment to the beautiful radiant orchid purple.

The polishes: NYC “Lincoln Square Lavender” (#264), Sally Hansen Diamond Strength “Timeless White” (#09), Prisma Luminous Color (part of a set), Rimmel London Lasting Finish Pro “Glossy Pink” top coat (#160)

Don’t forget to check out the other ladies and their designs for the Radiant Orchid theme!

As always, thanks for reading :), Kristi

PS.  I was having fun taking pictures of my nails in the garden when I spotted these incredible flowers.  Aren’t they almost alien-looking with the contrasting bright colors and red fuzz?!
