Birthday Bestie Twin Nails... w/ CDBNails


TGIF. I have such a long over due post today that it's actually really embarrassing to think about. Cheyenne from CDB Nails is one of my very close friends and it's become tradition to do bestie nails for each others birthdays. She had it done and ready for my birthday three weeks ago... I, on the other hand, kept forgetting and so here we are three weeks later. At least I finally got them done before my next birthday so that's got to count for something, haha.

I'm definitely keeping this one all weekend long since I love how it turned out. Such a simple design to accomplish, but it's so eye-catching and gets a lot of compliments.

I was going to do a tutorial for you guys, but I felt I didn't get a home-run with the rose so I opted out. The base I used for this mani is the satin Rowen from Zoya and the rest was created using acrylic paint.

Cheyenne always does such an amazing job with her freehand art. I totally need to practice my roses! Such a simple thing took me way longer than it should of. And blending... I must learn to blend! Haha. Practice makes perfect after all. Do you guys have any freehand tips? Let me know down in the comments.
