Hello my beauties :)
Today I have a mostly black & white design, inspired by my pretty coffee mug!
I've wanted to paint this ever since I bought this mug, which I did fairly soon after moving here and leaving most of my kitchenware behind. I have some plain cups here, but I always like having pretty or fun mugs for my morning coffee. I guess it's silly, but for me it somehow makes the morning nicer! (Anything that can do that is a winner in my book.)
I started with OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, the lovely creamy slightly greyish-white which is just perfect for a porcelain look. The tips are Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Black Out, and then I used a small dotting tool and the same white polish to create the row of dots. So far so good.
Then, taking my inspiration from the cup, I used black, white, grey, and pink acrylic paint (mixed up the latter two to match the original as well as I could) and a small detail brush to paint on the flower and vine shapes.
Sealed in with KBShimmer Clearly On Top.
I'm quite pleased with these! They look so pretty when I'm holding the matching cup :)
I hope you enjoyed them too. Thanks for reading, and I'll see you soon! xoxo

| Outdoors in sun--the difference between the OPI polish and a 'true' white is obvious here, with the white paint there for comparison. I love how it adds to the ceramic sort of effect. |

I love this! So pretty and you nailed the design perfectly from the cup.
