Vintage Floral


 I was inspired by this design from Aquaayame on Tumblr. Her flowers definitely look more like roses! I'm jealous. This look was created using the 8 piece nail art dotting tool & paintbrush set from Winstonia.
 The nail art set can be found here for $8.95. It's really a great kit for any new nail artist that needs a basic set of tools. Everything comes in the black satin zipper pouch. The kit includes five dual ended dotting tools, a variety of sizes. Also 3 detailing paint brushes of slightly different sizes. The kit also includes "one random color high quality nail file," as you can see, I got the light pink 100-180 grit.

The paintbrushes are a nice quality and weight to them. The website labels them as "sable detailing brushes" but I was informed by the company that this is not in reference to the actual hairs... but instead just the brown color. I was excited because I had heard that sable brush hairs made for the best paintbrushes.... but I think it's disappointing that they've labeled them in a misleading way.
 Another thing I was excited about was that it said the brush handles were acetone proof! That would be amazing because I'm constantly ruining my brushes by spilling acetone and it eats away at the paint..... One quick dip in my dappen dish of acetone with the back end of the brush....and the paint came right off.! Ugh! I guess they are just referring to the metal ferrule that holds the bristles?

The dotting tools are pretty standard, it's got a nice variety of sizes to cover all of your needs.

This again is the nail look I created all with these paint brushes and dotting tools.

I used a gazillion polishes for this design, I'll just list them.
