Mani Swap With Copycat Claws

Hi guys! I have an exciting post for you today. As you can see from the title, I'm doing a mani swap with one of the talented blogger, Serene from Copycat Claws. We both started our blog last year, I was a few months earlier than her, and I think we both have grown so much in out nail art skills. I love how creative Serene is with her stamping, you should totally follow her if you haven't already!

It was hard to pick which one of her mani that I want to recreate, I love so many of them! But I have a limited amount of stamping plate, and didn't find one that I could use. So I chose one of her free hand nail art from the 30 Day Challenge last month, from 'Inspired by Artwork' day. She did a beautiful job on her nails and on a canvas! 

Check out her post that inspired me for this mani swap here!

And here's my recreation..



 I used different polishes for the gradient background cause I don't have the shades she used. My gradient is with piCture pOlish Flirt and Peaches n' Cream. The tree branches and birds are painted with KBShimmer Eclipse. Details on the birds and flowers are using Butter London Cotton Buds, OPI Yoga-ta Get This Blue, KBShimmer Hugs & Wishes, Radiant Orchid. I sealed the design with Glisten & Glow HK Girl top coat.


What do you guys think? Did I do her artwork justice?

Don't forget to check out Serene's side of this mani swap, in this post, and follow her on Facebook and Instagram. You wouldn't want to miss the beautiful manicures she's posting! ;)
