Now that we are past Christmas I thought I would move on to some winter nail art. I got so many new polishes for Christmas and I've enjoyed experimenting with them. I achieved this look by starting with a base of
a England King Arthur (two coats). I'm so glad I got an
a England! I've been dying to try them and I have more on the way.
King Arthur is a really beautiful dark grey and I thought it'd be a great base for this look.

I then used
OPI Die Another Day to make the roses. I just used the corner of the brush and dabbed on some roundish blobs.
I then went in with a pale/nude nail pen and gave the roses their accents and used a green nail pen to do the leaves. I finished the design with silver dots put on with a silver nail pen.
I really like the
a England I got and I can't wait to try out more of them! This design is good because it's fairly simple to do and you can do it on both hands without too much trouble.
I did a rosette tutorial as one of my first posts but I may have to redo it and add some better pics.
Happy painting friends!
