Dandelions For Spring

I wanted to share with you my manicure from the past few days. Actually I made this design on Tuesday and removed it today so I can do some swatches, so I can definitely say it stayed with me longer than usually.
I really wanted to recreate a delicate design with the dandelion from my Nailz Craze plate (last time I did a mani with this design was a year ago, wow!), and I wanted to combine it with a light and fresh color, so I picked China Glaze Kinetic Candy. It's a dusty light blue, a bit green tinted. I would say it's some sort of minty color, but the "mint" range is so wide  you never know whether it's mint, green or blue. It's a beautiful shade in any case!
I applied two coats of Kinetic Candy, then added silver holographic glitter to the top, I wanted to create a reverse glitter gradient. It didn't turn out as I wanted, it just looks like I painted half of the nail with the glitter, but at least I tried lol. The glitter is from a Korean brand called A'Pieu aמd the polish name / number is SV01.
Then I stamped the dandelion design from the Nailz Craze NC01 plate with Konad White, and applied one coat of Poshe to seal the design.
I really love how delicate and sparkly this looks, it wasn't exactly what I imagined but it came out lovely and I received many compliments for this one, so I was happy with it even more!
I hope you liked it too, would love to hear what you think. Thanks for reading and have a lovely week!
