Black and White Challenge Day 2 - White on Black

Today is day two of the Black and White Challenge, which means a white on black manicure. I started out with two coats of Wet 'n Wild Black Creme. Then I painted the white sloped tip with white acrylic paint and added the leaves in black and white acrylic paint as well. I meant for it to be more black than white, but it looks almost 50/50. It reminds me of a skirt I used to have that had the same curved angle (without the leaves)...



A new swatch of Wet 'n Wild Black Creme. This is my favorite black that I have used so far. It is opaque in one coat, cheap, and works well for stamping. What more could you ask? However, even though it is opaque in one coat, I used two here because I find it covers the nail ridges better...
