#31DC2013 Black And White - Winter Tree

For today's challenge, we're suppose to use black and white.  I originally did a holographic color blocking pattern but then scrapped it when it looked too amateur simple.  Here's a pic of it below.

Not too exciting, eh?

So then I brainstormed some more and come up with a few more ideas, and eventually decided to try drawing a leafless tree on a white background.  I used Zoya Purity for the white and Wet 'n' Wild black creme to draw the tree with a nail art brush.

It's not perfect, but I really like the way it turned out.  I finally figured out the brushes with the long slender bristles are the best when it comes to drawing fine lines, and not the short stubby thin brushes.  Overall, it was an easy mani to create but the visual appearance is striking.

I'm excited to see the rest of black and white manis - the possibilities are endless when using these two colors together!
