Hope you've had a good weekend all!
Cocktail nails... There are many interpretations of this design theme and generally I have stuck to the original idea of three accent nails, those being the ones you hold your cocktail with. This time I felt like breaking the rules, going with a more literal take on the idea and taking my inspiration from a picture I found via google when searching 'cocktail art'...

I
kicked this off with two coats of a baby blue for the base. I then used a bit
of bubble wrap dipped into the pink to splodge all over leaving a
slight blue gap at the top. With more bubble wrap I splodged on the
purple towards the tips. I then repeated with the pink wrap before
taking a thin, pulled out piece of wrap to whip on a couple of extra blue
splashes before topcoating. I did consider a black border and perhaps a
dash of bright yellow on the ring finger but figured less would be more
in this case!

I just loved that cocktail image I found and I'm really pleased with how these nails turned out. As well as reflecting my inspiration, they also reflect the rainy-sunny weather and my rainy-sunny mood this weekend, we're all mixed up together lol!
