Watercolor bubble flowers


I'm still really frustrated with not being able to do my normal watermark :@ It's making me not really want to do blog posts.... I think I might just uninstall and reinstall Photoshop if I don't get any help in the Photoshop forum :(

Anyway here is a mani I attempted inspired by my coworker's shirt from H&M. Here is the shirt

I used diluted acrylic paint to try and get that watercolor effect. Since it was so watery though it was hard to control where the paint went. I had to change the flowers to 5 petal flowers or they would just look like blobs of paint. I used a small nail art brush and made flowers MrCandiipants style. I used the bubble nails technique to absorb the excess water and try to create a watercolor look. 

These didn't really turn out looking like the inspiration, but I think they turned out OK... not super thrilled with them or anything though. What do you girls think?

  1. They look good. I think you probably should have diluted the acrylic paint a bit more since they seem to still look pretty opague. I hope you can solve that issue your having with Photoshop too!

  4. Super cute manicure! I think it looks great - Don't worry about how your watermark is in the picture, it doesn't take away from your beautiful nail art :) I hope you get it fixed so you can be happy with it though xx
