Valentine's Day Nail Art: Purple Roses

This was my first rose nail art and I'm pretty proud. I didn't use a tutorial, which I probably should have, but rather looked at a picture of a mani I saw in a normal rose motif (red) and then just winged it in my own color scheme.

Lovely polish bestie Jen found me OPI Funky Dunky and Rumples Wiggin and I KNEW I had to use them in a gradient. For three on my nails I did a gradient of Funky Dunky over two coats of the perfection that is Rumples Wiggin (I almost couldn't paint over it). I then used one coat of Red Dog Designs Minnie's Bouquet. You NEED this glitter. I purposely left off the Mickey glitter (but trust me, at least one came out with every swipe) but loved the flowers, hearts, stars, butterflies, and more. It is the perfect purple and holographic glitter topper.

To make the roses, I used Essie Play Date, and the two OPIs with OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. I basically did a loose circle with Play Date, then just added lines. Using Pure Ice Free Spirit, Essie Turquoise and Caicos, Mint Candy Apple, and white, I drew the leaves. No rhyme or reason.

  1. I love this! Your gradient is so close to what I did for my wedding day nails! I used those 2 colours (plus another one) with a glitter too! :D

    1. Well I know I've seen your wedding mani, so deep down you must have inspired it :)
