Hey there! It seems like ages since I posted. The school year just began, so I’ve had to devote some time to preparing for a whole new set of students. I also am teaching a new course, which means I need to spend even more time on lesson planning.
For the flower task I decided to depict a hibiscus flower. I began with two coats of OPI A Dozen Rosas (appropriate for flower nail art). For the style and flower center I used OPI Little Red Wagon. For the pollen I used OPI The “It” Color.

The above was my finished product. I first wanted to use OPI In My Back Pocket for the pollen since pollen tends to be more orange. This blended too much with A Dozen Rosas and didn’t give me enough contrast. You can see below the lack of contrast. I almost forgot to get pictures before I covered the first “pollen” with the new “pollen” that’s why only my ring finger and pinky are pictured.
I am more left brained and not really artistic. This part of the 31 day challenge is forcing me to be more creative and think more about how colors work together.
