Gelish One Stroke Flowers Nail Art

Hey everyone! I hope you've all had a lovely Easter. I've got a lovely 4 day weekend, but it's gone so fast already and I'll be back at work before I know it. I love my job, but I also really like being at home painting my nails all day too, and I feel like I've not done enough of that this weekend. It doesn't help that season 2 of Daredevil is now on Netflix, me and my boyfriend have spent pretty much the whole day eating easter eggs and watching it. I did manage to spend friday doing my nails though, and these summery nails are a result of that. 

I was recently sent some of the new Gelish Kung Fu Panda 3 collection*, and I ended up liking Kung Fu-chsia* so much that I had to create some nail art with it. I've only ever attempted one stroke nails once before, years ago, and whilst it wasn't the worst attempt ever, I've also never really tried again. The beauty of gel means that I can just wipe off if I go wrong though, so I decided to give them a shot. They're definitely not complex one-stroke nails like some of the amazing one-stroke artists out there, but I ended up really liking the end result. It reminds me a lot of Hawaiian flowers, even though that wasn't the original intention! 

For these I used a base of Gelish - Kung Fu-chsia*, then I used acrylic paint for the flowers. The leaves are OPI - Don't Mess With OPI. The yellow is Deborah Lippmann - Walking on Sunshine, and the black seeds are acrylic paint.
