Day 45 - Icy Crackle French

With a weather forcast full of snow the cold is definitely getting to me. but I am not going to lie I love it when it snows I just hate being cold. For todays nails I wanted to go with a icy blue tones, over the last week I have had lots of fun with the bright colors but the reality is we still have a lot of winter to go.

This design looks pretty simple but there is a few steps involved. First I started off by painting a black diagonal frech, once that was dry I painted a siver crackle over the bottom half of the french. I then faded a blue crackle from the silver to the top of the french. I wanted the nails to look like bits of ice were breaking off the tip so when the crackle was dry I applied a tip layer of top coat and added some foil pieces along the french line. Once complete I finished off with a high gloss top coat.

I found these nails a bit tricky to photograph, the first picture is with flash which shows the colors of the polish quite well and the second is without flash which is a little unfocused but shows the foil bits clearly
