Liquorice

This weeks challenge on the NPQ Google+ community page is Black and White so this is what I came up with :)

I painted my usual base coat onto all nails. I then painted all my nails with China Glaze White On White. On my thumb, index and little finger I painted 2 coats and on my middle and ring finger I only painted 1 coat.

On my middle and ring finger I then sponged on a gradient using China Glaze Liquid Leather, Barry M Chai and China Glaze White On White.
Over this I then applied a coat of Ciate Brocade Parade.

On my thumb, index and little finger I stamped these horizontal lines from MoYou Pro Collection plate 01 using Konad Black.

I applied a top coat of Seche Vite to all nails and that is the mani finished. Very happy with the result of this!

Mermaid Scales

Really annoyed with these! They look so good but then I messed up the stamping a little on those couple nails and smudged it a bit with the top coat. Will have to do another attempt at these in the future!

Firstly as usual I painted on a base coat. Then I painted just one coat of China Glaze White On White on all nails.

For the gradient I used 3 Barry M Gelly polishes Green Berry, Guava and Blue Grape. And on my middle and ring finger I sponged the gradient so that it goes the opposite way to the rest of my nails.

I painted a coat of Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure over all nails. Then I stamped using Konad Black and the scale pattern from MoYou Pro Collection plate 01.

I then finished off with a coat of Seche Vite.
