Striped Floral Monogram Nails

Woohoo! It's Fridayyyyyyy!! As promised, I'm here to show you something I did awhile back that I was really proud of :) These were also inspired by Jackie of SugarloafGraphic's Iphone/Samsung Cover. I don't own any of these phones yet. But if I do, I know this would be one that I'll love on my phone. It's colourful and has a strong image. Perfect. :)

There's something really chic and aesthetic about black stripes over white base. I seem to be loving this combo. I have another nail art that's similar, will probably show you on Monday or next Friday. Haha! We'll see. I used roses as the flowers for this nail art though, hope you aren't too bored of roses yet. A bright vivid purplish pink to contrast with the background, adding more life to the whole look.

No fun without some accents! Haha! I don't think I have to explain what L means here, but just in case... It's from my blog's name. Moving on to the index, I wanted a different background to make it more noticeable, I used the same polish as the roses for the stripes. Hmm, I was skeptical to use black rose at first. I don't want to be sending death messages, hahaha.. But I did a quick search at possible positive notes to black roses and as it turns out, it could mark a new beginning too. Thus, I reasoned it shall mark my new beginning in using more glitter polishes for nail arts! It was so sad to see I have a growing stash of glitters, and I hardly use them. Plus, Gillian from PlumeriaPainted have been making me guilty for not using mine enough. Hahaha! So, there's one right there in the background :P

There is no doubt that this is one of the looks I will love for a very long time! I was reluctant to take it off, until I had an inevitable chip. I used a peel-off base coat so... they are prone to chipping after 2 to 4 days for me. I'll talk more about it when I do a review on it next time. And yeah, that is all for today. See you on Monday! :) Have a lovely weekend! ♥
