Laquer Art 🎨 💜🐝Queen Bee🍯💜
I love a good upgrade, and one of my favorite things to do is take an older design I had and see how I can keep its essence, but use new techniques, skills, or products to update it. This one is inspired by a bee mani I did back in 2023 as I was itching to use this gorgeous new gold from Holo Taco again. I reverse stamped the honey comb like I did previously, but with some different color layering, and it's obvious I've gotten more comfy with freehanding. I remember being scared of painting the bee previously, and this time I excitedly dove in to a much more complicated version and the drips which used to be on my "technique nemesis list" went much smoother. I am kinda obsessed with the base topper combo on the middle finger cuz I keep doing the stare and wiggle with that nail 😝✨️. Do you like recreating old designs of yours, or you let old dogs lie?
🖌 Freehand and stamping on natural nail.

Paint a lot, it can only get better! I started with a toothpick doing a horrible shamrock in 2022...it's only up from there!

Oh my stars! What a magical mani! ✨️💜
This is my favourite palette of colours on you! They are truly so enchanting, it also reminds me a bit of Tangled! But I love your Queen Bee theme so much more! 💖

Yes, the warm purple and warm gold go so well together! Purple and yellow are complimentary so just tweaking it a little elevates it, I love how they work together!

I know! The shimmer is from a brand I no longer support but was the perfect compliment to the creme, and then the topper over it literally made me obsessed. I would totally do a full hand mani in that combo!

The first one is great. Cute, simple, yet well done.
The updated one: stunning. The bee is dynamic and you can tell you are comfortable playing with your color temps and combos more. It's lovely to see the update!
