Blue Roses - OPI Euro Centrale Nail Art

Hey everyone!

Today I have another nail art design that utilizes shades from the OPI Euro Centrale Collection! I find that this collection offers a lot of great nail art options, which is why I've been playing with it a lot lately. The first design I did was a gradient polka dot one which you can see here, and today's design is a pretty blue-on-nude floral print.


I started with a base of OPI My Vampire is Buff on all of my nails. I keep talking about this shade but I just need to stress once again how much I love it. I already have one back-up bottle and I'm going back to my supply store today to see if I can grab another! I seriously need as many bottles of this as I can find.

Once that was semi-dry, I added some general round shapes using OPI Can't Find My Czechbook and a medium sized nail art brush. While those were drying, I drew on the leaves using a smaller nail art brush and OPI I Saw...U Saw...We Saw...Warsaw. Finally, I added the finishing touches to the roses by drawing a few squiggly lines inside them using OPI...Eurso Euro.


This is actually my first time doing a full graphic rose print and I'm super happy with how it turned out. My favourite thing about this print is that it looks complicated and time-consuming, but in reality it's actually pretty simple! I might even do a tutorial for this one since it's been so long since I've done a tutorial for you all.


I did post a full swatch/review post for this collection, so you can check out all the shades here.


Thanks for looking!

    These are lovely and the colours look really fab together! Please do a tutorial-my friend is always telling me how easy roses are but I don't believe him.

    I love a great neutral for nail art. I have heard so many great things about this color that I may have to grab it. I've been relying on China Glaze Nude and OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons as my bases for awhile now. Time to try something new!
