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.
(top photo) This is before a top coat.
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. :)
