Day 7 of the 31 Day Challenge (#31DC2013) was Black & White nails.
I am always happy to create some black & white nails, and I love coming up with different combinations. This time, I based it around another textured accent nail (can you tell I love my textured polishes?), Dance Legend Granite. It's a black textured base loaded with tiny white glitter. The white glitter has a bit of a sheen to it so it doesn't look flat. It has great coverage in one coat, but I used two for the photos.
On the remaining nails, I applied one coat of CND Blackjack, then with a ball of plastic wrap I dabbed on Essie Blanc, and finished with an outline of white around the nails. I have tried this combination a few months ago (unfortunately I never posted about it), and loved it, so I thought this was the perfect design for the Day 7 theme.

It looks fantastic! The white turns bluer in contrast with the black, it looks really great! As for the frame, it's flawless! Any tip you care to share? :p
ReplyDeleteThank you! I used a Milani nail art polish (with one of those long striper brushes), and I like to outline the sides first, then finish by rounding off the cuticle and line the edge of the nail. I find that it's easiest to use one single stroke if I can. Hope that makes sense! :)
