Today I wanted to try something new on my nails. I found this cool design from Pintrest (of course). The pin linked to Laynie Fingers. So I had to try it. First I "washed" my nails with nail polish remover. (I found this helps with the nail polish peeling.) Then I did a base coat, followed by coats of white polish. I also put Vaseline around my nails to help with clean up later (this is a messy process)

Next I put my chosen polishes on a make up sponge (genius!! I know) in the order I wanted them.

Then I squished the sponge on my nail. I did 2 coats of this to give maximum coverage.

As you can see it gets REALLY messy around the nails.

When you put the top coat on it cleans up the edges of the colors.

Finish look (after washing my hands and giving David a bath, because of course he woke up 20 mins after I painted my nails.)
After letting the top coat dry for about 20 mins I normally run cold water over the nails to try to "freeze" the paint.
My hubby says I'm always doing funky designs to my nails. :)
