#31DC2013 Inspired By Art - Cartoon Nails With Bettina Ocean


Most of the art that I like is contemporary along the lines of street art and pop art.  Unfortunately, I'm not good at either, so I went the easy route and decided to try a new to me technique, cartoon nails.  To start, I used a base of Bettina Ocean, a lovely blue leaning teal cream.  I then outlined the nail with Wet n Wild black creme and added the cartoon shine with Wet n Wild white cream.  I then finished with Essie Matte About You.

Not so bad for my first attempt!  Sorry about the black smearing, I guess I was too impatient to apply the matte topcoat and didn't let the black dry completely.  If you haven't tried cartoon nails, you definitely need to.  It was fun and super easy to do.

Let's see what the other ladies came up for today's art challenge!
