There are a lot of city scape nail designs out there and I decided to try my hand at them and use it as a way to suggest Bethlehem.
I know this looks messy, but the problem is I should not have used China Glaze Hanging In The Balance. I love the color, but it stains something fierce. Well, if you've done a gradient before, you know it gets rather messy. I used nails polish remover, I scrubbed, I slept with lotion and gloves, I scrubbed some more, and used more nail polish remover. Yeah, I cleaned it up as best as I could without taking it off completely. So then lesson for you is, only use this color in controlled, small amounts.
I also used China Glaze Spontaneous, White-On-White, Fairy Dust, Happy Go Lucky, and Liquid Leather. Then the star is some loose glitter I bought on ebay.
I hope you can see the starlight shinning down. I think the star and its light are my favorite part.
Check out the other participants if you have a chance they are some amazing artists.
