Petals and stripes

Needed:
   *pastel base color (Icing, preppy purple)
   *white striper (so easy, white)
   *matte top coat (sinful colors, matte finish)
   *white polish (Milani, white)
   *light green polish (CQ, mint green)
   *medium green polish (essie, mojito madness)
   *a few different hued pinks(OPI, bubble bath; Maybelline, Coral Crush; Wet n Wild, Candy-licious; Sally Hansen, Twisted Pink)

I love this look, besides the bubbles that of course showed up on half of my nails. Its fun and summery, even though its pastel. I also thought that if you wanted to change the purple to blue and make the flowers red, youd have a perfect patriotic mani, without being overly patriotic. I also did this look on one of my nail files, which ill post pics of at a later date.
To do this I used 3 coats of preppy purple as my base. I then added the stripes with my striper polish. After that I took out a plastic bag and my Kiss, Glass shine top coat. I used that on the plastic bag as a base first because it comes off the bag perfectly without ever ruining the other polishes. I then covered that with matte polish so the 'stickers' would match the finish on my nails and began making the roses on the bag. I used my dotting tool and the red stick you see in the pic below.
When they were dry I applied then with my matte polish. I usually apply the polish directly to the nail, but i decided to do them this way to try out the technique since I never did it before.

I hope you like them, and as always have a perfectly polished day!!!
