abstract flower nail art

I debated whether or not to post this tutorial, because it didn't exactly turn out how I wanted. Originally I was going to do a pretty rose nail art tutorial, but when I started painting my nails I decided I wanted blue colors instead of pink and red. I had in my head how I wanted the blue flower to look, but it ended up looking a little more "abstract", I guess you could say. So that's what I'll be calling this tutorial- the abstract flower.

 First, pick out some nail polish colors. I might have a bit of a nail polish problem because everytime I see a pretty color I like, I buy it. So I have a pretty big collection.

Pick a color to be your base color and paint your nails.

Put a blob of another color in the middle of your nail and using a toothpick, drag it out into a flower-ish shape.

Put another color in the middle of that....

And spread it around.

Use another toothpick in a darker color the create lines in the center of the flower. They're supposed to be the stamen.

I painted the flower design on my thumbs and then painted the rest of my nails a lilac color. On my ring fingers I put a sparkly coat on top.

I might still do the rose nail tutorial another time, hopefully it will turn out how I imagine it!
I hope you all have a wonderful week!
