Flower of Life Sacred Geometry Nail Art

Today’s challenge prompt is geometric. I wanted to attempt some sacred geometry, and a quick Google search revealed that I would probably have the easiest time attempting a Flower of Life design. Of course, I knew it still wasn’t going to be a walk in the park, and not only was it not, but it was actively really super challenging! Getting those  petals even and spaced nicely was H-A-R-D!

I used the three creme shades from the new Deborah Lippmann Roar Collection for my color palette.
I began with a base of Deborah Lippmann She Wolf, a creamy taupe. The recipe was magnificent, coincidentally, went on easily and uniformly and secured in two coats.


Next, I included the freehanding with Deborah Lippmann Miss Independent (purple) and Respect (red). I mixed the two shades together in equivalent amounts of for the center of the nails where they meet.

Last year was the first year that included “geometric” as a prompt (changed from “tribal” to be more culturally sensitive). I chose a handpainted geometric gradient design similar in style to this one, actually!
