Happy Plants

You've seen a few ColourLover-inspired designs here before. If you're new, or don't recall, ColourLovers is a fantastic site to browse color palettes and patterns. It's my go-to for inspiration.

Every Tuesday, an email to members is distributed, which they call Happy Huesday. They feature six or so popular patterns in the emails.

Yesterday, I liked one so much I decided to make it into a manicure.

Here's the manicure:



 And here's the pattern it was based on:

It's pretty obvious which part of the pattern is being shown on the manicure, but if I hadn't told you, would you think they were tiny mustaches?

Here are the colors I used: Ancient Jade (ORLY), Load (Illamasqua), Get in the Expresso Lane (OPI), Pull Over (Sinful Colors), and Front Row Flasher (Sation).

    I love this so much! The color scheme is perfect and I love how you interpreted just a small portion of the design. It looks like it's opening up the sun or something. ColourLovers is one of my favorite inspo sites too :)

    Hehe, you know, until you mentioned it I didn't see the mustaches. Cannot unsee!

    Really though, this is gorgeous. Lovely colors.
