The Last Tea Party

I am sad.  Why?  Well, my vacation is almost over and this is the last tea party nail art for The Nail Challenge Collaborative.  I think I could have done another month with this prompt, but sadly, it is time to move on.  I wouldn't have felt that this theme was done justice unless I included a Yixing Zisha inspiration.  This is one of my favorite type of teapot, simple, understated but so gorgeous.  Searching through images, there were so many ideas, but I chose this for its color combination and style.

I tried to do it justice, but the DMPs let me down.  It looked much better IRL.

I started with three coats of Mentality Rebel.  It could have easily been two, but I wanted the thickness, like clay.

I added leaves with Sinful Colors Calypso.

I thickened some of the Calypso and added some veins to the leaves.

Despite the sloppiness in the DMPs, I still ended up loving this!  A final pic before I go.

Thanks for looking and commenting!  There is a lot of stuff coming down the pike for me.  By stuff, I mean more challenges.  I know, I am crazy!
