blue puzzle pieces

I just saw this on facebook from The Crafty Ninja (https://www.facebook.com/TheCraftyNinja1) and I thought it was easy enough.  I started with using tape but it didn't go so well....
I must remember two things when dealing with two colours.  The first, which I thought I knew but apparently it isn't learned fully yet is start with the lighter colour and then put dark over it, not the other way around.  The light blue didn't cover very well over the dark
Secondly, don't bother with tape for certain nail designs as I'm just as good using the brush itself.  I learned this doing my aunt Linda's nails twice now and you'd think I'd learn it for my own.
Having said all that, they turned out okay, actually looking at them a second time, it is almost better they are not perfectly symmetrical as real puzzle pieces are not.
I'm glad I took a picture right away as I've already smudged it /sigh/
