Wiki'd Nail Challenge

Water Babies 


Hello lovelies and welcome to week 2 of the Wiki'd Challenge. I was contemplating not doing this challenge as some of the weeks are going to prove to be a challenge themselves!! But without stressing too much I though out of the box for this, and may well do the same for some of the up coming challenges. 
The main hub page is where you can see all the mani's from this whole challenge. 
So Water Babies a children's novel written in 1863, I will admit I haven't read this book, and I think that's what made it harder from me to interpret this to a nail art.
So as I said, thinking out the box I made a blue gradient on my nails, with 3 polishes from MUA. 


With almost the same 3 colours in acrylic paint,  I made a reverse bubble gradient. I watered down the paint, dotted onto my nails and removed the excess water with a cotton bud.



Falling into water made me think of bubbles, and this is where I got my idea for this mani. For a first attempt, I'm pleased with how this looks,  and think a rainbow bubble would look amazing.
Till next time, stay safe and much love..
