Cute flamingo bird nail art

The talented 17 year old(!) Mirelle at nailpolishlives has made a gorgeous flamingo nailart, so I wanted to try it out as well. I think hers came out better than mine but fun showing mine anyhow of cause. ;)

 I started of with Kleancolor - Pastel blue as a background. After it had dried I used a thin nail art brush (bought from ebay) and painted the bird with Kleancolor - Neon pink and the wings with Kleancolor - Pastel pink. When looking at the result I thought that the color difference was to big between them so I grabbed a pink sheer shimmer nail art polish from Sure Promise which made the darker pink lighter and the light pink darker. It also added a shimmer to it which I think came out great in the sunnier pictures. The white dots are made with dotting tool and Kleancolor - White and the black beaks and the black in the eys are Gabrini Elegant.
Worth mentioning is that for example Kleancolor - Neon pink is a one-coater if being gentle and using their brush. However I noticed using my nail art brush (that probably was too stiff) forced me to paint two coats.





 In the sun the shimmer really showed which I liked.

    1. Tack! Jag fick för mig att det inte skulle vara såå mycket pill. Typ dra kroppen med ett svep med pensel och sen ett annat för halsen och sen ett par dutt med dotting tool. Var lite väl optimistisk innan tror jag, speciellt innan jag insett att det råsa krävde två lager. haha :D
