Aren't they just wonderful? :D
Kiwis are one of my favorite fruits, so of course I was excited to do this design. Since I got it right this time, I took the pictures before my nails even dried. They still aren't dry! I'm typing this right now with wet nails.
I'd like to give credit to cutepolish for the idea. She made a wonderful YouTube tutorial that you can find here. She explains everything so nicely. I suggest you go check her out!
For this nail design, I used Zoya Meg for the base, and Piggy Polish 6 Impossible Things and Maybelline Color Show Onyx Rush for the details. The first time I did this, I started off using a different white. It turned out to be so sheer that I ended up covering it with my trusty Piggy Polish. Whatever you do, don't use Essie Marshmallow. It's a recipe for disaster!
Like always, I painted my nails before I went to bed. I checked to make sure my fast drying top coat was dry. I spent half an hour getting ready for school for the next day, so you'd think that would be just enough drying time so that it wouldn't smear, right? Wrong. I woke up to a lovely mess this morning. Luckily, it was on the hand that I don't photograph. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time in the morning to fix it. I ended up going to school with that mess. Eeek!
The pictures above and below were what my first attempt looked like. Notice how big the white part and the black dots are compared to my second attempt? I definitely made them too big. I just can't believe I walked around campus with them. Also, I decided to use a different color to make the design pop. Now that I look back, I'm not really a fan of the color as a kiwi. I'll save that orange for Halloween.
