I created this random zig-zag nail design mainly because I wanted to do some sponging because I keep getting really inspired by other bloggers using this technique, I really like the end result in this mani by Jackie over at MeMa's Mani's and this is the tutorial I checked out to perfect my sponging technique..so thank you to The Nail Polish Addict for that.
I wanted to use a nice summery color scheme, so I always think fruity colours then I used gold and black to make my zig-zags and used a dotting tool on the edges to finish up the look before coating with clear top coat.
Below is a collage of the different steps I took to create the mani and the main pic is the design outside in the sunshine at its most fluroescent and best!
I liked the sponging effect! I have tried it before and not really manged to get it looking right, but the key is to blot the sponge on some paper before you apply on top of the base coat.. once I'd figured that out it was easy as pie - there will definatley be more sponging on the blog in future.
Hope you liked them, thanks for reading and have a good week!
