Ari-babe's Purple Sakura mani

Alright this nail art look I found long time ago in my files. When I mean long time I mean about 2-3 years old. My friend Ari wanted to come over so I could practice my nail art on her. She was more then pleased to even help me by telling me just go with it. Of course though I need some direction so I had her at least tell me what to shoot for. Since there was a trend of Japanese nail art designs we decided to go in that direction. It's one thing to paint another girl's nails when she says I want this and this and this. But it is a completely different feel when a girl says you pick, you choose, you design. With out further adieu.

List of products:    

1. Sally Hansen - Complete treatment continuous treatment growth nail polish (Base coat)
2. Sally Hansen - Forever Lilac
3. Konad nail art stickers - Cherry Blossoms
4. Any sliver hexagon glitter. (I don't remember what I used and I don't have it any more.)
5. Nail art jems - Silver and light purple.
6. Sally Hansen - Triple strong advanced gel nail fortifier (Top coat)


First I set a base coat. Then I lightly layered the Forever Lilac color to give it a more gradient look. After I set some sliver glitter on top. Put the Konad flowers on the Thumb, Index, and Ring fingers. While putting Jems on the Thumb, Middle, and Pinky fingers. Set the work in with a top coat then another to give it a more glossy gel look.
