Retro Mani

Hi all!

I was feeling inspired the other day and came up with a mani that I totally fell in love with!  I went 'stash shopping' and used some polish that have been sitting there collecting dust for a little bit :P


I used a base of Joe Fresh Pineapple on all nails, then used OPI Dim Sum Plum for the dots on the index finger, the base for the roses, and as the top layer of polish on the ring finger (done with striping tape).  OPI Pink Friday was used to fill in some dots on the index and ring finger, and to finish the roses.  Color Club Not for Kelly and Twiggie were used for the leaves.  Twiggie was also used to fill in some dots on the index finger.  All polishes were also used to sponge using plastic wrap (seen here, but I can't seem to access the blog post with the tutorial).

 



I'm pretty pleased with this, I know my roses could use a bit more practice but for my first try I think they turned out quite well.  And I LOVE the plastic wrap sponging technique, it's definitely fun to do!

Thanks for looking :)
