Wiki'd Nails - Salicylic Acid

This week's Wiki'd Nails Challenge was Salicylic Acid - this is extracted from the bark of the willow tree so I bring you willowy nails (or as close as I could get them), and some flowery nails at the end too!
I started with a base of the lovely Kandy.Colors Avacado Smoothie and then added my willow bark with UberChic Beauty UC2-02 and Kleancolor Metallic Brown. Then I added my willow leaves with Born Pretty BP-19 and Virtuous Polish Rahab.
I think the combination of colours and plates worked quite well although I couldn't help thinking a panda would be well at home in this background!
Anyway in the absence of a panda stamp I couldn't resist adding some flowers for #hawaiianshirtmanifriday with Moyou London Tropical 03 and Virtuous Polishes Patience and Holy City. These looked OK but there was still something missing so I added more flowers from Moyou London Tropical 03 with Virtuous Polishes Miriam.
Finally, as if 4 layers of stamping wasn't enough, I added a coat of Above the Curve Ruby Rhod, a gorgeous holo top coat, just to soften the whole effect.
The flowers weren't part of the challenge so I have filed them in the July album rather than the Wiki'd album - just in case anyone is looking for them!!
