Frangipani Flower Nail Art with Dior - Lazy Days of Summer Challenge
AAAH, it's been way too long since I've posted for my summer challenge, The Lazy Days of Summer. I've been wanting to try flower nails for the longest time and they were perfect for the 8th theme "In the Garden". This is my first attempt and I wanted to create my favorite flower, pink frangipani.
I used two shades from the Dior Summer Mix Collection because, well they are drop dead gorgeous, and also they have the perfect consistency (sorbet like) for what I wanted to achieve.
I love the look of these, especially how the pinky turned out, but I think I should have gone with the pinker shade from this collection. Ah well, next time! Also will include a tutorial next time. I didn't know if these would turn out ok, so I didn't take tutorial pics ;)
Do you think my flowers look like frangipani?

My inspiration!! I can smell these by memory just by looking at these photos. If anyone knows of a fragrance that exists with pink (not white) frangipani I'd be eternally grateful :)
