Twinsie Tuesday-Nature Inspired

Hi guys, welcome to Tuesday.  Hopefully the week is treating you well so far.  Today is quite the day of opposites for me.  On one hand, I am super excited because my friend Lindsey just had her little baby girl around 5am this morning.  I hope we will be able to see them all soon, I was so excited I couldn't sleep last night because I knew she was at the hospital.  On the other hand, I have my mid-year review at 9am this morning, which I am less than thrilled about.  Although it's in no way fair, things from last year messed up the beginning of this year work wise and I suffered the consequences of that.  I don't think one thing should be a black mark two years in a row but there's nothing to do about that.  Anyways, onto the nails.

Today's Twinsie Tuesday theme is nature inspired and boy did I take some creative license on this one.  I couldn't think of anything traditional "nature-y" to do so I went to my nail art inspiration pinterest board and found this picture.  The thought of recreating the electric palm trees was really exciting, so that's what I went with :)

To create this look, I started with a plain black base of Essie Licorice.  The rest of the design was just a matter of taking a small thin nail art brush and making wispy palm fronds.  Here's the colors I used:

Purple-OPI A Grape Fit
Dark blue-Sally Hansen Pacific Blue
Pink-OPI Hey Baby
Orange-OPI Where Did Suzi's Man-go?
Aqua-Essie In the Cabana

I hope you guys enjoyed this creative take on nature inspired nail art.  I can't wait to see what my fellow Twinsies do!
