Heeeeey ya'll! It's Friday! Let me get an amen on that! Today is day 8 of the Flip/Flop Challenge hosted by Jilltastic Nail Design. The options we challengers had to choose from was color blocking or black and white. I chose black and white in a design I've never tried before.
So looking at these pictures and typing up this blog - I think this is the one and only, strictly black and white mani I've ever done before! That's kinda crazy! Anyway... I have no idea what this design is called but I've seen it in a few places and always thought it would be neat to try. Maybe this is the design I've seen called Merge... ? It fits even if it's not right. lol.
The polishes I used are my (apparently) go-to white, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and Milani Black Swift. Black swift - although it paints and covers really well - is horrible to clean up, especially next to white.
This isn't perfect, I'd rather the transition "drips" be a little smoother looking but overall I was so happy with this look! It was super cute in real life and the small imperfections were not noticeable at practical distance. I want to do this design again with lots of different color combinations...think of the possibilities!!!!! lol. Practice is in order!
I hope ya'll enjoyed this one because it was definitely one of my favorites so far in the challenge.
Please take a minute and check out the other ladies designs for Day 8!
I did this one too, but in purples! And without the dots other than on the border between the two colors. I like this mani any time I see it, visually interesting without being gaudy.
ReplyDeleteI saw that! I think your middle dots came out better though! Mine were too close together so not as smooth of a transition. I love this design too!!
Deleteputting the white at the base of the nail was a smart move, given the clean-up. it reminds me of a lava lamp. love it!
ReplyDeleteIt really does! It should be called the lava lamp design. At first I was thinking you meant Color Club Lava lamp and I was like... no?
DeleteI love this design. I haven't tried it yet, but I really must ASAP!
ReplyDeleteWonderful and clean. Great manicure.
I love this design!! I have never tried it, but it always looks so cool when I see pics. Must put this on my to-do list!
ReplyDeleteThanks ya'll - you both really must try it!! This was my first time too! It's so interesting looking - people can't figure it out. lol.
