Floral Nail Art For Mother's Day

Today is Mother's Day here in Portugal  and for this special day's nail art design I went with flowers, of course, because they mean beauty and love and Mother's are just that: beautiful and lovely.

 Let's see it then, shall we?

I didn't want a pastel floral. I went with vibrant orange shades, to match Mum's inner strenght and fiery will :)

For the vertical gradient I chose as background, I used Kiko No.482 Tangerine and Kiko No.357 Bright Orange.

The flowers and dotted arabesques were all done in acrylic paint and this mani ended up being quite fit for Spring season as well.



I wonder who else out there in different countries is celebrating this day, too - I wanna know, so drop me a comment ;)
Hugs & Kissies,

    That vertical gradient!! Gorgeous manicure Mina! Mother's day is the second Sunday of May here, so May 10th this year... or August 15 depending where you live in Belgium (confusing right?!). They should make it an international day so it's the same wherever you live! :)

    Ooooohhh, I love your mani! The design is just right, and those colors! I could eat those Kiko polishes, they are so gorgeous. Those two polishes - I cannot tell you how much I like them, especially for summer - the vibrancy of them! They make me want to fling myself into a wild, joyful dance! Thank you for the wonderful photos!!
