April Showers Bring May Flowers

3 May 2012 by , 131 Comments


For this mani, I was inspired by cherry blossom trees that I saw at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens the on my recent trip to New York City. Unfortunately I didn’t get to see the trees up close like I wanted to, I was merely driving by. But they were on my list of things to see in New York, and see I did. From about 50 feet away. For this reason, I didn’t get any good pictures of how gorgeous the trees were buuuuuuuuut, the lovely Amy over at Gotham Polish recently posted the most gorgeous photos that she took of the cherry blossom trees from her recent visit to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens a few weeks back. Have a lookie loo here to see the beautiful flowers (captured by Amy) that inspired my mani. (And if you don’t follow Amy yet, poor you. You’re sorely missing out.) For this mani I used three coats of OPI Bubble Bath as the base, Konad plate m73, Orly Cotton Candy for the stamping on all nails except the ring fingers, and China Glaze Heli-Yum for the stamping on the ring fingers as an accent nail.

Spring is in the air!

      I wish I had gotten to see them better and close up but really I’m just glad I got to see them at all.
