Needle Dragging Flower Power Nails

The theme for today's Nail Art Sunday is "Flower Power" and when I think of flower power I think of the 70's and that era's earthy colors and large prints. So I did a needle dragging manicure using red, orange, brown and yellow.

The red is The Sky Is The Limit from By K, the orange is Autumn Leaf from By K, the brown is Choco Mousse from By K and the yellow is Happy Go Lucky from China Glaze.

I just slapped on the polishes generously (all colors right after each other on one nail at the time) and then I used a thin dotting tool and dragged lines from the red area and outwards. A top coat and I was done! :)


Have you tried needle dragging?
Are you into the 70's style and colors?

  1. This looks amazing! Almost like a scorching sun burst. I've tried dry water marbling and another manicure that drags the polish this too. I like the technique :)

  4. Håller med Susanne, påminner starkt om batikmönster som är helt rätt för temat:) Kul att du hittade så verklighetstrogna färger, känns som en originalnailart.

  5. Så superdramatikst och effektfullt! Färgerna är ju helt rätt och mönstret känns väldigt mycket batik, men samtidigt skulle det kunna vara en explosion i en serietidning också,

  11. I tried this technique and it seemed interesting to me! I should try it again :-) The combination of colour is right and the effect is beautiful! And I will add "gorgeous" if you do the same manicure in shades of blue!!! :-)
