I'm feeling pretty happy today because finally, after days and days of endless rain, the clouds have parted and the sun is out! (A rare occurrence in Manchester.)
As a celebration I thought I'd share these blue stripy nails with you all. I made such a mess of my fingers doing these but once I'd cleaned it all up I was quite pleased with the result.
For these nails I used 6 different polishes and mixed two together to make one of the colours. I first painted all my nails white and then added each colour on top with a thin brush.
The design was meant to be a gradient but when I finished I realised I had put two of the colours the wrong way round! Ooops. That meant there was quite a jump between the light blues and the dark blues which someone told me made it look like mountains coming out of the sea or something which I quite liked the sound of. :)
I think my little finger looks like it's having issues in this photo :-/
The idea for this was planted in my head ages ago by Mr. Candiipants. She's pretty awesome!! She also has put up a tutorial for this so go and give it a look.
