Nail Art Skittles Challenge

I have been trying to learn nail art. I have been following all of the latest trends. I have been watching videos, reading blogs, and following pins. I have tried velvet nails, caviar nails, stamping plates, painted work, making appliques, and using temporary tattoos.

This mani includes a turquoise tattoo and an orange striping brush.

A few of the blogs I am following are participating in a Into summer Challenge so I thought I would give it a try, unofficially. The first one I tried was a skittle mani. The colors were inspired by the dots on the swirl tattoo. I then used the colors from the accent nail to do half moons that have dotted outlines. The green one reminded me of kiwi, so I am calling it kiwi swirl.

It isn't my favorite manicure, but I do like half moons on short nails.
