Froggy Mani for earth day


This was 2 coats of an older franken I made 'Curtains', I sponged on another franken 'Mud Bath; When it was dry i used a mate top coat. Using a dotting tool, I added dots of varying size over the sponged area.

I do not own a slow drying clear polish, even plain dollar store clear polish dried to fast for me to try the matte/shiny looks  I want to do. For this look I used the Color Rama clear polish, and that dried a little to fast for me. But I did not have any clear 'polish strings' ; 

This is supposed to be my my earth day nails, I thought I would try to do a homage to the small animals of the world that sometimes get displaced from urban sprawl - (how eco-conscious of me ♥)

..... and this is the franken polish 'Mud Bath' I sponged down the center of my nails (I tried to keep it in the center)

  10. Is it called "Curtains" because of Gone With The Wind? The curtains Scarlett used Ronald a dress was that color of a dark green. Seriously, It's a beautiful color you've made!!
