Day 5: Blue nails

 On to Day 5 of Chalkboard Nails Challenge. Today I wanted to try out these awesome cloud nails inspired by nailsbymh on Tumblr. When I first saw these I was in awe. They just looked so cool compared to all the cartoon clouds out there.

Since she didn't have a how to on this design I took on the task of creating a step by step on how I was able to achieve this affect...

Step 1

I used a medium blue in the top of my nail down to about 1/2 of my nail.

 

Step 2

With a lighter blue I painted the other 1/2 of my nail

Sep 3

With the darker color I sponged a cross the middle of the 2 colors to blend.

Step 4

Then I did the same with the lighter color to achieve a better blend

Step 5

Again with a piece of sponge I added white patches to create the clouds.

Step 6

With a dotting tool I used black & gray polish and semi blended it together to create the shadows in the clouds. I left a little of the polish darker to go under the gray.

 

 

And there you have It!
