Waterlmel-icous Nails Did


This design is a total steal from The Daily Nail's fruit did's thumb, only I did my whole hand. In this I used two brand new (for me) techniques: spongeing and frankening.

Spongeing: use a sponge. duh.

Frankening: combining two or more polishes to get a new colour.

Look at me, I'm learning nail lingo! ...I hate you.

Anyway, the pink is frankened from a Sally Hansen french nail polish + an un-named dusty rose + an un-named hot pink. Then sponged ontop with China Glaze's White on White and on top of that sponged with a frankened Sally Hansen french nail polish + Sally Hansen Emerald City. The black is done with a nail art pen.

I actually might keep this for more than 2 days...which has been my average lately...I obviously need to go back to work to occupy myself.
