I have been meaning to do this look for so long. I think I got this sample cream back in the October Birchbox. Seeing as how it's now February and Valentines is right around the corner, it seems like the perfect time to do a pink mani!
It took me three attempts to get this right. Even then I just couldn't get the base colour right. I ended up using Crush in Lake Como which is a sheer soft pink. I love wearing it by itself so much I almost didn't want to do the nail art. The most annoying thing is though (apart from taking a photo with the wrong polish 🤦♀️) is that once I applied the leopard print the base colour completely changed from a soft subtle pink to a sheer dark pink. I think it's just an optical illusion but it still really bothers me.
I also got a little lazy towards the last two nails and completely missed the double stamps; this took far longer than I expected. I also wanted to add the block colour flowers but it was already looking busy enough.
I like a look that Paulina's Passions did that is similar to this where she just had a few spots running up the side of the nail; I think that would help with this as the spots really overwhelm my small nails.
(Wrong polish in this photo! I didn't use a H&M one)
