Poppies will put them to sleep...

Day three of the Crumpets Nail Tarts 31 Day Challenge is water spotting. I think my brain took a vacation for this one because to me, water spotting is this:
The awesome technique where you dot thinned acrylic paint (or polish) onto your nail and then soak the middle of it out with a cotton bud. I think they come out super cool looking and I thought I was being totally clever by using a similar technique but without soaking out the middle. I was inspired by Will Paint Nails for Food and her amazing poppies technique. While mine came out decent, they don't hold a candle to her original ones. But then this morning whilst looking for a picture to demonstrate my idea of water spotting I came across another problem; water spotting is meant to be the technique where you spray polish that's sitting on water with alcohol and then drag your nail into it to create a web. As seen here:
I did think about starting over but...let's face it:
So not only am I avant garde today, I'm also completely off base! Oh well. Enjoy the art anyway! :)
