![Honestly thought I'd have to miss another @picturepolish challenge - got bummed out cos I love #picturepolish & @Patternbank 💖
Mimic a design in polish & free hand nail art! Post with 2 minutes to spare 😉 Good luck all🔥

Almost did a floral/bird pic, bt guidelines said “no mixing colours” & didn’t know if that meant blending/shading too. With short deadline, couldn’t risk it so went bold!
🌟
So why choose THIS image?
A few reasons! In a NUTSHELL:
It's dynamic. Happened to love & have the colours. It was doable with the limited time I had. Kinda stood out. And it was symbolic
How so? The EXTENDED reasons:
My last year & a bit has been defined by an enormous amount of challenges, loss, and (still ongoing) struggles & injury. To be honest it's been a really exhausting, difficult time in life. [Trust when I say I've lived at the extremes of both ends of the spectrum]. This is before adding any of the issues Covid brought... That just times-ed it by 10³ 🙈😂 Point is it's hugely impacted my ability to interact, to do nails & I miss it
Was given the arvo off, having just found out an old BFF died (painfully) from terminal illness 😶
We were both artist-types; her style was bold & illustrative. So to honour that I chose a piece in this vein
Also wanted to pick something fresh, that reflected hopeful & happy vibes. Nature speaks of rebirth & natural cycles of life 🌟 I like to think that after destruction comes the chance for new growth. So the monstera leaves represent that for me 🌿 Fruit is fresh, nourishing, life-giving 🍋
🌟
Meant a lot to get a day off gruelling rehab to enter this. The reasons why weren't great, but was channelled into something creatively therapeutic.
(Plus it's a long shot in the dark to dent my PP wishlist haha - sadly been unable to buy any polish w/the stuff goin on)
Hope Ive done it justice, didn't have much time! 🖤 Plus it's awkward painting upside down for hours, when you're exhausted, outta practice & trying to rush 😁 Oof!
Used Twinkle, London, Totes, Blue, Hot Lips 💕 Brushes frm @mitty_burns @picturepolish (boom!) @winstonia_store

PS: I love PP challenges waaay more than life challenges LOL 💖 #ppmimicchallenge](https://www.buffandpolishbeauty.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
