Before & After: Strawberry Fields Forever

Hello!

Today I have a manicure I did for this week's theme in my Hobby Polish Blogger's group: Favorite Summer Fruit. I love all types of fruit, but I always look forward to the strawberry harvests in the spring and summer, so I decided to go with that. :)

I started with one of my favorite new polishes, Lucky 13 Strawberry Girl (how could I not?). Strawberry girl is a juicy red jelly with green glitter hexes that look like seeds and green shards that look like bits of leaves:

I personally think this polish looks like strawberries as is, with no nail art, but what fun would that be?? So I pulled out my acrylics and painted some leaves on the tops of my strawberries:






Now I want to have strawberry shortcake...please excuse me while I go nom nom nom...:)

Please check out the other favorite fruits, linked below. :)

Hugs and love,
M.

      Thank you! I can do a tutorial if you want, but it's pretty easy, I doubt you'd need one. :)
