All credits for this design goes to the wonderfully talented PackAPunchPolish. She's absolutely amazing. I love love LOVE her designs. She has an amazing eye for being inspired by everything and creates beautiful, hand painted designs that blows my mind. So, naturally, for my 'P' I wanted to re-create one of her designs. I picked a palm tree design (tutorial here) because not only did it start with a 'P', but the colors are amazing. I love the rainbow sunset in the background with the contrasting, dark palm tree in the foreground. I LOVE IT!
I'm not going to list all the polishes I used here because than this post will become crazy long, so if you're interested check the bottom of the post for my usual list. ;)
I did a few things a little differently than she did. While she used mostly acrylic paints for her sunset, I used nail polished thinned with nail polish thinner. You get pretty much the same effect, and I didn't have to go out and buy myself some light blue and pink acrylic paint, lol. Also, I'm out of studs at the moment so I opted to use metallic gold polish and a dotter instead. This worked out pretty well I think, considering I don't think I could have fit three studs on my tiny pinky. I also added a subtle sparkle... just to make it that much more magical!
I hope you liked the design I recreated for you. And another quick thanks to PackAPunchPolish. You're an inspiration!! ^_^ Have a great day!
