Overall, I am not super excited about how it turned out but it is definitely a design that made me push myself and I want to try it again sometime when I get better at nail art! The frame mani is really hard!! I tried messing with the tops of the frame near the cuticle while I was at work to try to even them out, but I only ended up making them worse! I do like the colors though, and I got a lot of compliments at work even if most people didn't know which fruit it was! :] I used Sinful Colors Snow Me White for the base, Sally Hansen Insta Dri in Sonic Bloom for the frame, and for the "seeds" I used Sinful Colors Black on Black and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Wet Cement. So that's all for the Summer Challenge, I am headed off to work, but check out what some of the other girls have created!

I always want to do a dragon fruit mani this is so cute, dragon fruit looks interesting
ReplyDeleteI'm so flattered you picked one of mine - and I agree that frame mani is a beast! I had a hard time with it too. I hope to come back to it. I think maybe doing the frame color first, then "coloring in" the inside? I know with cartoons its easier to do the black shape then fill in the colors and leave a tiny bit of black showing the outline, because it's next to impossible to outline everything. If you find something that works, let me know. Great job though! I like yours much better than mine!!
ReplyDeleteAh thanks! I will have to try that technique next time. I was worried it would be even MORE difficult to try coloring it in, but after doing it I'm not so sure! :] I will try this again for sure.
DeleteIt looks great! It literally Looks Like Kaki's Manicure on your hands!! Great choice :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Positive comments always help haha because I'm much harder on myself than others are :}
