Hello, all! How sick are you of seeing floral manis from me?? Hopefully not so sick of it that you don't want to look anymore ;) Today I've got a quick little post of a mani that turned out a bit more tropical feeling than I intended...but I've had a rough week so I can't complain too much about thoughts of sandy beaches and beautiful flora.

I had originally done these for my Very Emily guest post, but once I finished, I just wasn't feeling it for that. While I think these are cool looking, they're a bit odd and don't really encompass my style as an artist so I wanted to save them for a later date.

This is a base of OPI's My Vampire is Buff (which I haven't used in way too long!) and the rest is done with American Acrylic paints. The teal and dark blue backgrounds are (supposed to be) a layer of leaves that the flowers are on top of. This was originally inspired by this Urban Outfitters rug that I spotted on pinterest, but I think I put my own spin on it.

These aren't my favorite, but I figured I'd share with you all anyway. Hopefully your week is going better than mine and hopefully I'll have some more nail art in the next few days :)
