All in all I'm pretty happy with how these came out since it's the first time I've done a freehand manicure in many many months. I used acrylic paints and some thin brushes to paint these. The pattern is from an antique Delft plate that you can see here. I do own a Delft mug and it's my favorite one but the designs on it are so intricate that there was no way for me to paint them. Here's a photo of the said mug.
As a base polish I used my trusty OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and for the accent nail I used Essie Mesmerize. This manicure had a different version initially but I didn't like it so I redid the middle finger and the pinkie. I think I like the initial middle finger better but the pinkie has definitely improved a lot.
I'm happy with this manicure but most of all I'm happy that I managed to do a freehand manicure after all this time. Hopefully I will do another one soon. I'm very excited for my holiday but don't worry cause I will schedule a couple of post to keep you busy while I'm away.
