Day 27 - Insipired by Artwork

This challenge was inspired by a piece of art work that I stumbled upon on another blog. I have never heard of the artist before, but there was something about the painting that caught my eye. It is from a California based Swalla Stuido. As far as I can tell, this painting, which is no longer for sale, is called "Hope & Dreams".

I went with slightly bluer tones for the background than the original painting (you can see the original at the end of this post). For my base, I used an unnamed Cosmetic Arts polish. I really dislike that it has no name, but the polish is gorgeous. I'll post swatch photos of it eventually. All the other colors are hand mixed acrylic paints. I have been having a lot of fun with acrylics lately. So here is my interpretation of "Hope & Dreams"...




Here is the original painting from Swalla Stuio. As you can see it has a lot more green than I chose to use.


What do you think? Did I do it justice? :)

Thanks for looking!

    You certainly did it justice, I love this! I've had my acrylic paints for months and still haven't got round to trying them out. Maybe this weekend...

    Love the simplicity of both this painting and how you transferred it onto your nails.
    Great choice and great manicure!
