Black & White Challenge Day 3

Hi everyone, and welcome to DAY 3 of the BLACK AND WHITE NAIL ART CHALLENGE!  Again, the Day 2 nails really impressed me, but I am so excited for Day 3 because we get to add some color!  Today's challenge is "black base with color."  I love black with brights, so I had tons of ideas floating around in my head for what I could do!  I have been wanting to try out "frame" nails, with a dotty twist!

I used Wet N Wild Wild Shine Black Creme for my base (two coats), and used Julep Niecy, China Glaze Aquadelic, China Glaze Celtic Sun, Wet N Wild Wild Shine Blazed, and Color Club Mrs. Robinson for my dots!  To make the colors really stand out against the black, I did all the dots in white first and then went over them with the colored polishes.





I can't get enough of this look...I felt there were flashing neon lights lining my nails!  I had just filed and shaped my nails, and the "frames" helped show off my new shorter square nails!


Go check out the other blogs participating in this challenge!  The Sexy6! <3  These ladies are such amazing and inspirational nail artists...I love seeing what they come up with!

  8. Really loving this one - looks classy - yet something I could do! Reminds me of those dot candies that were on the rolls of paper - I think they still sell them but not the same as when I was a kid and there were candy stores that sold penny candy!
