#31DC2013 Inspired By A Tutorial - Argyle Nails


We're getting towards the end of the 31 Day Challenge, woot woot!  Today's theme is to be inspired by a tutorial.  This is an easy challenge because there are tons of tutorials out on the internet and there are so many techniques to be learned.  I decided to go with Argyle nails by cutepolish on YouTube.  I thought it would be fitting for the fall, but somehow I went with summer brights.  Go figure.

I started with a base of OPI Skull & Glossbones, and then did the argyle pattern with Sinful Colors Shock & Awe and Envy.  Envy wasn't as pigmented as I would have liked for the dotted stripes across the triangles.  I finished with a layer of topcoat.

Not too bad for my first attempt at this style, but I'm wishing that I used black to do the dotted stripes on all the nails to tie together the colors.  Oh well.  I'll have to give it another go some other time!

Let's see what the other ladies created for today's challenge!
