New 31 Day Challenge - Day 15 - Watercolor Nails

Hey everyone! Sorry again for the late post. I decided that I'm going to stop posting every third day (the days I'm not doing the challenges) because it's just too much work trying to do swatch posts in between two challenges. I may make an exception for if I get something super pretty that I just need to show you all, but otherwise that'll be the new plan. That way I can post these in a more timely manner.

Yesterday's challenge called for watercolor nails, and I wanted to try Naomi's lovely tutorial. I've tried watercolor nails before using acrylic paint (you can see that attempt here)! This time, I used nail polish and and diffused it using acetone.
The base is OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. After that was dry, I randomly applied China Glaze Orange You Hot?, Butter London Blagger, and Butter London Snog. Quickly, I dipped a brush in acetone and went over those colors so they blended into the white. I wish mine came out like Naomi's, they are just perfect. Maybe next time!
The reason I didn't show you the index finger in the picture above is because I completely smeared it. See? Ugh, so much fail. :(

Thanks for reading, and be sure to check out the gorgeous nails of the wonderful ladies participating in this challenge along with me!
