PCFSC: #22; Large Flowers

I actually did the challenge after this one first before coming back to this one. The Purple Crumpet Fairy Spring Challenge has a lot of flowers - I don't want all my flower manicures to look the same so this took a lot of thought. I went through the list a couple of times to see if I could recycle anything but I still couldn't think of anything special.

In the end I draw it from something that I own that I really like, which turns out to be my favourite shirt this summer. I changed the background and smaller flower's hues to orange because of the next challenge (background colours/base colour aren't that important in this case!) - you'll see in 2 days.

PCFSC: #16; Spring Gradient

Another skittles, yay!

I did a Yellow --> Orange gradient today for the Spring Gradient. I have no idea why the yellow KaSi polish always end up looking slightly green in photos but it's definitely not that colour in real life. Kind of made the gradient less "smooth" with that random undertone of the polish. Oh wells, just add some glitter and everything will be fine!

PCFSC: #12; Daffodils

I find it really weird to be painting and drawing daffodils at this time of the year due to a very famous New Zealand charity, The Cancer Society, whom begins searching for volunteers annually at the beginning of Spring for Daffodil Day.

This is probably one of the biggest charity runs in this little country, basically people donate at least a gold coin in return they get a plastic daffodil to wear for the rest of that month to show support. At highschool, my house was the yellow house of leadership and we would raise at least $1000 per year from students. The reason why daffodils are used is due to the tendency of them blooming first out of all flowers in spring after a long winter and they're a bright flower; a positive encouragement for cancer patients and a symbolisation of cancer survivors.

Now they sit gracefully on my nails for today.

PCFSC: #11; Pastel Patchwork

I'm not a big fan of the patchwork manicure because I'm just dreadful at making the black lines thin and patchworkish or I can not draw patches without placing them evenly around my fingers. I was meaning to stamp different patterns onto each patch with a corresponding darker colour but my stamping plates were already packed away for my trip to university.

PCFSC: #7; Spring Sunrise

I googled images of Spring Sunrise and got many photos with the same beautiful coral skies gradienting into the night blue above and patches of grey clouds shatter around. It's just very beautiful.


Honestly, I have never witness the sun raising but I have seen it set before. 
The photo above reminded me of a Sunset which kind of reflects on my manicure for today :)
