So today's mani is actually one I was going to post last week, but didn't get a chance. In keeping with the 'holy crap it's hot' theme, I thought I'd do some watermelon nails!
I painted the base Australis Sweet Pea, then sponged on an Urban Colours dark pink and The Face Shop GR502. I finished with Revlon Black Lingerie for the spots.
These turned out far messier than I hoped, and I wasn't even going to post them - but I did quite like them and I got a lot of compliments, which helped me change my mind.
I do love sponging but clean-up takes forever!
On an slightly-related note, I finally got myself some pure acetone! I bought a litre of it from Bunnings Warehouse, a big hardware store. I only wish I'd had into help clean up after the watermelon-sponging fiasco!

It only cost me $10 so I'm pretty pleased with that! I can finally clean up my nail brushes properly (nail polish remover was leaving them all icky and not cleaning them properly at all), and it's perfect timing to help me clean up while stamping.
I love this stuff so much! Never buying nail polish remover again.
Speaking of stamping... It turns out nail stamping is really quite frustrating! I can't seem to get the hang of it at the moment, and my main problem seems to be that the polish dries before I can get it onto my nail. Thankfully I've got the acetone for clean-up and I'm having fun practicing, but I hope I can get a decent image happening soon!
