Copycat tutorial - Chalkboard Nails

Ahhhhh this was so much fun!  Chalkboard Nails has a couple of great tutorials, including her Beauty and the Beach Summer Nail Art tutorial!  When I saw it I was all like, "I CAN DO THAT."  Well, sorta.  Not as good as hers but it was still pretty awesome!  I used Essie Sand Topaz for the base sand, OPI Alpine Snow for the pinkie, index, and thumb base.  Other colors used for accents were China Glaze For Audrey and OPI Cajun Shrimp. Cuuuuuute, right?

A little nail art

Helllooo.  Back on blogger, whatwhat?  First I took a hiatus, then I kind of rebooted on another location, then I kinda got locked out of that and blah blah blah here I am.  This time for reals.  Cross my heart.

Anyway, here is a little nail art that encorporates a lot of techniques that Nailasaurus has in her tutorials that are very easy to follow.  The index is her rose art tutorial and the pinkie is the waterfall art tutorial.

I used Sephora by OPI Aha! Moment for the base.  The index finger is a gradient from Zoya Bobbi to white.  The middle finger has Bobbi for the pink and Zoya Josie for the leaves.  Ring finger is just Zoya Bobbi and the pinkie is a waterfall with Zoya Bobbi and Stripe Rite pink polish (can't find a name on it - do they come with names?)




Fun to do and somewhat easy.  I like how each nail is different - do you think you would like all one pattern, or different patterns on each nail?
