♥ NP Challenge #2 ♥

I am doing a little 'nail polish challenge' to see how many looks I can come up with using only 2 nail polish colors, along with base coat & top coat. I plan on doing some easy nail art, and polish techniques which are simple and require very little 'tools, like french tip guides, mailing labels, sponging etc.... Just for fun....

The colors I am using are Billie 'French White' & Wet n' Wild 'Sapphire Blue', along with a clear nail polish & Nailene Acrylic Strong Top Coat.

Nail polish Challenge #2 entry..... My Right hand, which I am NOT GOOD at photographing... I cannot seem to keep my left hand still while holding the camera.  I have used sponging, and some zig-zag scissors, as well as a gentle 'S' curve for my thumb.

 I used a big blob of Top Coat over the areas where I applied the Wn'W 'Sapphire Blue'. This helped alot in preventing the polish's from smearing, as well as to prevent picking up color with the brush of my Top Coat. I overdid it on my ring finger, as there is a very noticeable ridge where the zig-zag design is.

I was patient this time and did let all the polish dry thoroughly, though I still messed up my pinky and middle finger somehow. Oh Well! These are concept nails, I am trying to not go out in public with these.....at the moment I am on my 5th one, and I still have a hard time with all my nails having very different patters/designs. The skittles mani - with different colors do not bother me as much.

For all my nails, I started with a base of 2 coats of Billie 'French White', then did the designs.

THUMB -  Gentle 'S' curve - 2 coats each polish

INDEX - Sponge @ the tip of my nail

MIDDLE - Sponge @ the base of my nail

RING -Vertical Zig-Zag - 2 coats of Wn'W Sapphire Blue

PINKY - Zig-Zag across the diagonal of my nail - 2 coats of Wn'W Sapphire Blue

I was sure to apply clear scotch tape around my nail for the sponging...=  less clean up! As well as using Avon Moisture Therapy hand cream to my cuticles and surrounding areas. All my photos are indoors under fluroescent Lighting
