Hey guys! So very excited about today's post! I just LOVE how it came out!!
I first saw Water color nails HERE at http://rebeccalikesnails.blogspot.com
And I was really intrigued, but it kind of fell off my radar because I am forgetful
and didn't get around to write it into my Nail notebook (where I keep ideas for future mani's, sketches etc :P)
But then I came along these three other epic water color mani's!

For those unaware of this method/technique, basically you add a color at a time (or more if you want)
by placing droplets of polish onto your base color. Then you use a nail brush that is damp with acetone and kind of swirl it around. Rebecca did a awesome picture by picture tutorial to show you in the above post :)
The result is really pretty but actually very simple!
So first I started with two coats of Zoya-Purity, a white creme. Then added a coat of Seche vite.
Once it was completely dry I started with the yellow, Finger Paints-Catwalk Queen.
After yellow I used Zoya-Shawn, my absolute favorite Zoya green & possibly green period!
The green was followed by Zoya-Cynthia & Zoya-Breezi, then another coat of topcoat when I was finished!
