Robin Moses paws and rainbows

Robin Moses asked us to do an old pattern of hers and I thought I'd give my acrylic paints a good run with the rainbow colours.  I just had a friend buy me some brushes on ebay so I'll have a striping brush next time I do a design like this as I found the rainbow took up a lot of my nail whereas on her design is was very little of the nail.  C'est la vie.

I began with a french tip of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails French White Tip from a french manicure set I picked up.  Then I brought out the acrylic paints and made my rainbow.  I should have overlapped a bit more if I wanted to match Robin's but I like mine the way it is.  After it dried (okay the next day) I put the doggie paws on my nails and top coated as it was really starting to chip on the ends.  I photo shopped my picture a bit to cover the missing bits to my nail as well as cover over some hang nails I've been picking at.  I blame it on stress.
