Waterdrop Manicure

I can honestly say that this is probably the manicure that I'm most proud of... and it took me a long time to do it as well!

I thought of the idea the day I was doing my Euro 2012 nails, and on my pinky finger I was doing "2012" in acrylic paint... to my surprise when I watered it down to make it a little bit easier to work with, it created this transparent colour, so I took that and ran - I've done watercolour manicures before with nail polish and acetone/nail polish remover but I decided I would make a different kind of effect, kind of like translucent water drops!

the final effect...

Look at how gorgeous that is! I went and showed my mother and she couldn't stop staring at them for a long time ☺
