Dandelion Puff Nail Art

     Make a wish with these adorable dandelion puff nails.

     I generally don't show pictures of my "other hand" (as Simply Nailogical would call it) because I'm very dominantly right handed, so the nail art I do with my left hand usually doesn't come out as nice looking.  However, I'm really pleased with how the dandelion puff came out on my right hand.  It's a bit of a different from the left hand stylistically, a little messier, but I like it.
