NCC presents: 30's wallpaper yellow rose nail art

I guess I'm cutting it short showing you the last of the four theme challenges post the 31st of January, but that still counts. ;) As you might know by now I've joined the nail challenge collaborative where we show four nail art's according to a specific theme each month.

This month the theme is wallpaper and as I said in my first post I decided to do a little "history lesson", doing my nail art's inspired by the wallpaper/interior designs of certain decades, going back in time. My last post was inspired by the 50s and today I'm showing a 30s wallpaper nail art.

Source 1 (refrigerator), Source 2 (yellow roses), Source 3 (pink roses)

I decided to skip the traditional art deco style which also was popular during the 30 and fell for these rose patterns. I decided for a gray base where I did a saran wrap with two gray polishes. Then I freehanded yellow roses. As the middle picture I decided for orange shadows in the roses and I also drew some leaves. Basically I'm pretty happy with the result, it looks like a painting in some ways because it's not so detailed. Also, much as a wallpaper I think it look the best from a distance, when I'm looking really close I think it looks weird. :P










Polishes used:
La Femme (gray)
KIKO - 329 (light gray)
KIKO - 368 (orange)
Essence - Love Is In The Air
Jordana Pop Art - Contemporary White

    Superfint! GIllar verkligen alla dina inlägg detta tema! 50 och 30-tal är nog mina favoriter. Mer gult åt folket ;)

      Tack! Hade jättekul med det här temat och det kanske märks med inläggen/bilderna. Och ja, gult är en väldigt fin färg att dekorera naglarna med. ^^
