Spring Challenge- Flowers and Stripes!

Hey Everyone,
So here is look #2. I wasn't able to get the first one done but I will be on track for he rest of this ;). I know I didn't explain the spring challenge very well so I will try to make it as simple as I can but keep in mind I am not the best at explaining things. All the rules are written here but basically I need to do five themed manicures and use the four color combinations provided. For this one I used the blue and purple. I did flowers and chevrons. But I have to pose the question: Are chevrons considered stripes? Is there such a thing as chevron stripes? I think they look like stripes. Thereby, right now they're stripes. I hope you like em! I will be posting all the other bloggers who will be participating at the end of the challenge cause people keep being added. More nails soon! Click for a close up!

Hello There

I don't really know what inspired me with this one. Possibly the glimpse of spring! Maybe I secretly have always wanted a cherry tree. Who knows! But here it is:

I used O.P.I's "I Have A Herring Problem" as the base. I used black for the tree trunk and for the leaves I blended a few colors. I blended Ulta's "Snow White", Pure Ice's "Love" and "Peonies", which are both different shades of pink. Then I used a top coat full of shine! Click for close ups! Hope you guys like it!
