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?!

February 24, 2014 at 7:24 pmWow! This is extremely beautiful. And great pictures as well! You put in so much in your blog!! And well, this is a lovely idea for those who have not exactly become fan of the hue. At least the pantone color of the year can be used in a manicure beautifully :)

February 26, 2014 at 11:10 amOMG gorgeous! I just got shellac nails done for the first time this week and I love them. Next time i should ask for little flowers, they are so nice and a sweet reminder of spring (please hurry spring, it’s too cold still!).
February 28, 2014 at 3:55 pmThank you!! Ooh I’ve never had shellac nails done, do they really last longer?? You should totally get flowers, I am in love with mine :)
