Cloudicure

Hey all!

So.. today's Spring Challenge was water marbling, and because I'm super intimidated with it.. I'm skipping it.  Gasp! 

But instead, I have my first 'cloudicure' a la Nailside.  I LOVE this mani.  I keep reapplying polish as the tips wear because I want it to last as long as possible :P


This was initially going to be a pink polka dot mani for the spring challenge, but I started it, hated it, removed it and ended up with this.  I used Revlon - Aloof as the base except for the accent which is OPI - Sparrow me the drama.  The first cloud on all nails was Orly - Purple Crush, then Revlon - Royal as the blue tips and Aloof as the white tip.




This ended up being a really quick and easy mani, and it's so fun!  I then used a new top coat.. Revlon Quick Dry which was NOT supposed to cause shrkinage but whooooey, I woke up to nearly every single nail having some shrinkage, which made me incredibly sad :(  But I fixed them up and was happy again.

Have you ever attempted the cloudicure?  
Thanks for looking :)
