Zen Garden


I was aiming for a soothing, calming manicure (to counteract a very hectic week!) and I came up with this mani inspired by Zen gardens.


This is a base of 3 coats of Orly French Manicure Sheer Nude stamped with a swirly background using DRK-A plate and Cover Girl Boundless Color Bronze Beauty, a metallic bronze sparkle.

I used Revlon Top Speed in Emerald and Red Angel RA-115 to stamp the fern frond.  I used Bundle Monster BM-213 and Kleancolor Metallic Black to stamp the "rock pile".

It's a calming sort of look...now, if only I could get a massage, I'd be all set!

Have a relaxed day, Konaddicts!

    This is so stunning. Love your creativity.

    Back on the newpaper nails. Robin Moses from youtube did the newspaper nails then she put on a drawing on top. It was nice seeing the newpaper print in the background. Try it. I will someday. Lol! :)

    That's so cool. I always would look at that pattern on the Bundle Monster plate and think when would I ever use this. But it works absolutely perfectly on your design! I love everything about this.
