Tulip Mani

Flowers for Mom Nail Art Challenge: Tulips

 
Happy Monday everyone!  I can't believe we are already into week 3 of this challenge.  Time has flown by.  Yesterday it reached over 90 degrees and I feel like we've completely skipped Spring and got catapulted right into Summer.  Yesterday the hubby and I got our entire garden planted.  This year we chose to plant radishes, cantaloupe, zucchini, summer squash, tomatoes, hot peppers, banana peppers, and sugar snap peas.  We've already gotten quite a few asparagus and our apples, pears, and peaches are coming along nicely.  If you can't tell, we have a huge backyard!

Tulips are really one of my favorite flowers.  We already had our tulips for the year, bright red ones surrounding our house.  I plan on planting more in the fall.  Here is my take on tulips.  Again, these are done with a bobby pin so please excuse the lack of detail :)

  
For this mani I used a base of the shiny pink polish Hard Candy Little Bo Pink.  The darker tulips were made with OPI Purple with a Purpose and OPI Kiss Me on my Tulips (fitting right) :)  The lighter tulips were made with OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and OPI My Vampire is Buff.  The stems and leaves were created with OPI Jade is the new Black.
