PCFSC: Pastel Patchwork

Hi all!

Staying true to my my procrastinating self, I'm a day late posting this, but it's okay.. right?  So this is my first patchwork mani, and I was pretty pleased with how it turned out :)




 

I started out painting my nails white, then adding the black lines using Milani Nail Art in black.  I then used three different colours to fill in the 'patches', and finished off by retraced the black lines to make it look cleaner (basically I just followed the tutorial by Kayla).  The colours used were Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Mint Sorbet, Revlon's Dreamer and Essie's To Buy or Not To Buy, with an honourable guest on my thumb of Essie - A Crewed Interest ;)

Revlon - Dreamer

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend, and don't forget to check out the other participants and see what their patchwork mani looks like:
