The Lacquer Legion: Garden

Hello everyone,

For this month's manicure, the Lacquer Legion's theme was "Garden". This was announced right after my I received the China Glaze City Flourish collection as a birthday gift, and I couldn't resist using these polishes to create the manicure. Here's the result:

For this manicure, I began by painting each nail a different shade from this collection. My pinky finger is Petal to the Metal, on the ring finger is Lotus Begin, on my middle finger is Peonies & Park Ave, on my index finger is At Vase Value, and on my thumb is In a Lilly Bit. I painted 2 coats of polish onto each nail.

When that dried, I used my dotting tool to create flowers on each nail in a contrasting colour to the base (from L-R: In a Lilly Bit, Spring in my Step, At Vase Value, Petal to the Metal, and Peonies & Park Ave). While the polish was still wet, I used a toothpick to drag the dots into the center to create a flower shape.

I finished up this look by using a white cream polish to create the center dot of each flower and then applying topcoat. 

What do you think? How have you used these polishes if you have them?

Thanks for stopping by!
