Swanky Fishnet Nails


I have seen this on the interwebs a few times and decided to try it out myself. I'll call my first attempt a success = I don't think it would be possible for me to get crisp lines with this. Next time I try this it will be a base for some other type of nail art, using similar shades and possibly nail stickers.....

The base colour is a lovely polish I got from my mom that I have named 'Swanky'. I used Claire's Evergreen and Claire's Emerald City for the sponging. The fishnet material  was some leftover fabric that I used for Christmas Decorations.



2 coats of 'Swanky'


Below -  The base colour of this polish is a murky burgundy, but it ends up being a rich Forest green with alot of micro shimmer..... how is this possible? The top is 3 coats and the bottom is 1 coat.

WOW...Net fabric, really!? So cool, and I do like the subtlety. That is really weird with the base polish-I have one that does a similar quick-change trick, but not that extreme! Great mani! I would love to see it with more contrasting colors sometime...
