Pearly flowers

The last couple of weeks my nails have been without anything but polish. Yesterday though I found some blog by a girl who makes the most amazing flowers in acrylic. Somewhere in the back of my mind lurks some images on Youtube with someone creating such flowers, but since I found the smell of that little try-out acrylic kit I bought in December (or was it November?) so utterly offensive, so far I have refrained from even trying to make one single little flower.

Instead I made these (sorry the pic is taken with flash, since the natural daylight isn't enough to get any picture worth it):

On a bed of Color Club Glitz & Glamour I added one layer of CC Sugar Rush and before it started to try, I kind of swirled a piece of hardly twisted aluminum foil (why? had nothing better to use), then a thick layer of Poshé (which I have come to like much much better than Seche Vite). Then the pearly flowers - in the middle a rhinestone of lovely pinkish hue that I got from my sis at Christmas and then surrounded it with half pearls from Born Pretty.

This is far more unusual than I normally do, but I think they turned of kind of sweet. The worse thing about putting ornaments on your nail is that when the time come to remove it, the rhinestones and such are destroyed by the NP remover. Luckily mis sis was very generous with her gifts, so the rhinestones are going to last me a while.

I have some unstitching to do on the DWR quilt I'm working on..... don't think I ever have done so much un stitching and pinning with anything I have ever sewn as much as I have done with this project. Rather depressing process if you ask me. But I still really truly would like to know how these acrylic flowers are made ;-)
