Basketweave Nails

I got Chris to pick my colour after letting him know what I had in mind.  He chose Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 270 Lacey Lilac.  I then took a few tries to get it right and still not the happiest with the end result it's good enough to wear in public so I left it alone.  It's hard to the get lines just right and I tried to use previous lines to keep them in order, but it just didn't work out perfectly, but hopefully the idea made it's way across that these are supposed to be the weave you would find on a basket.

Rainbow Butterflies

My friend's mom wants me to do butterflies on her nails so I experimented with a few designs and then decided I wanted them on my nails too.  I've always loved rainbows across my nails so I went with different coloured wings.  My base was Pure Ice First Love 828CP and then I used acrylic polishes and applied the wings and whatever I messed up in the middle I just went over with black and pulled out my handy cat whisker and put in the antennae.  I love this idea to much and it has really been working for me.
