Daisy Chains for a Bridal Shower

About a week ago I had a bridal shower to go to and I thought I'd do something a little more on the cute but subdued side. So I grabbed some new colors and went to work on a variation of the daisy design that has been all over blogs and the internet.

There are plenty of tutorials and pictures out there, so you won't get any of that in this post, just pictures and tips!

I started out with "Dress Me Up," which is such a lovely color, and is one of China Glaze's "Hunger Games" line. I love it, it's great on it's own or for a base for designs. As you can see, I was lazy and decide to leave all the clean up for last, I am extremely messy with nail polish!

Anyway, on with the daisy's! I didn't have a lot of time, so I just did them on accent nails, but it was enough of a pop of color that people were grabbing my hands throughout the afternoon curious to take a closer look: I got lots of compliments!

This was definitely an easy manicure, the hardest part, like almost always, was drawing with my non-dominant hand, but there are ways to fix a lot of those mistakes. I used a dotting tool and I learned my elbow on the table I was sitting out to help steady it. But what I thought was most important was that I did the outside of the daisy's first: once I put the dot in the center it helped to cover over some of my bigger mistakes!
