Sugar Spun Nails: Attempt 1

So that's not entirely true. I did make a semi attempt once but I was using the wrong polish and I only did one nail.

This time I made sure to pick out proper polish and took my time.   I made a point of using polish that was a little thicker.  I had some Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear that was getting pretty clumpy so this is a perfect manicure to use up those polishes.

The base colour is Essie's 'Bahama Mama'.  The Xtreme Wear is in 'Blue me Away', 'White On' and 'Fuscia Power'.  I didn't use a top coat as that would take away from the effect of the whole sugar spun concept. I had housework to do so I couldn't keep this polish on. I imagine it would take forever to dry and even then it would probably chip off.  It was fun though! ;o)
