Nail Polish Technique at Back to Basics and Beyond





Good morning and welcome to today's Challenge at Back to Basics and Beyond   

Thank you to everyone who has been joining in the challenges , this fortnight we would like to see you use the Nail Polish Art Technique, link to the technique here.

I must admit to being very wary of trying this technique, but it was much easier than I expected, I only used 2 colours but was delighted with the outcome.

Fabulous add, I would never have thought of using nail varnish and I knew when I saw it on the list before I left I was very uneasy with the challenge, It you have done a wonderful card.

I have to check out the tutorial for this. My sister, who is not into cardmaking, bought me a set of nail polish for the purpose of my hobby. Maybe now is the time to put them to use. The background looks fab!
