Tutorial: Cloud Nails

I did some cloud nails for a nail challenge I was doing last year and someone asked for a tutorial. Cloud nails are very simple to do, and look more complicated than they are.

What did I need?
Two or three polishes (I used Yes Love - K033, Color Club - Pucci-licious)
Top Coat

1) Paint your base polish coat
2) Using a different polish, paint three 'clouds'
3) Using your base polish (or third polish) paint three 'clouds' leaving a small amount of second polish showing.
4) Top coat the nail art

I did originally try and do a tutorial on my nails but the colours I chose maybe weren't the best for showing the technique;

2) Using a different polish, paint three 'clouds' [A England - Lady of the Lake]

Here are a couple of other colour ways I have used using the cloud nail technique;

I think the cloud nails idea came originally from NailSide, if you know different do let me know.

Golden Oldie Thursday: Black Base

As the saying goes, 'every cloud has a silver lining' and these black cloud nails have a silver lining in the form of A England's Encore Margot.

Colour Me Crazy: Green

For today's green challenge I decided to use OPI's Live and Let Die and Rimmel's Camouflage. I think the technique I used is called cloud nails.
