Feeling rather floral and artsy lately, I had a light bulb moment of – Yes! I got to this Cath Kidston nails tonight!
Famous of its floral prints and pastel colors, it’s hard to not recognize the brand.
This is also the time when I realized that I do not have a baby blue in my collection. How’s it possible?!
Decided that I should modify the colors a little, here I used OPI Gouda-Gouda Two Shoes and also A-England Galahad, and of course acrylic paint and a paint brush.
As a base, I used OPI Nail Envy. Then, coat a thin but even and opaque layer of polish.
Let dry.
Using white and red acrylic paint, mix the color up a little on a old CD, and sketch the outlook of a rose, or flower.
On my fingers, they turned out to be looking too abstract. Don’t worry yet, it can be fixed when you add on the leaves later 😉
Using two shades of green acrylic paint, make a long dots resembling leaves near the ‘roses’.
The leaves helped in defining the roses. And create some random dots too.
On my right hand, I alternated the polishes so they look funky 😀
Let dry completely, protect your hard work with a good top coat, and you are done!
Not exactly a huge fan of Cath Kidston, I have only used their hand creams before, but I do like certain designs of their bags 😀
Are you a fan?

Very pretty! I like Cath Kidson’s prints although I don’t like to carry their bags cos too many around. This is a nice idea.

shall attempt to duplicate this hahaha…but i think i will do it on my toes instead…allows more messed-up and i can draw on both feet with my right hand!!! lol.
i love cath kidson’s bags!!! Pretty, sturdy and easy to clean thanks to the pvc surface hahahaha~~~
thanks gin! 😉 it’s a good idea to practice on toes first, but bending for too long can be tiring. i have never owned a cath kidston bag before but they do look really sturdy and easy to care for
