Petrol nail with spiky effect

I bought a new colour! 

Okay, first of all I should explain myself: Why did it take me more than a week to create another post? Two reasons!
First: A massive amout of workload fell from the skies and landed on my desk last week. Translations, readings and all sorts of things. Someone needs to stop throwing things at me..
Second: My boyfriend stole my camera. And let's be honest: phone cameras do not work for these sorts of things!
I am sorry for the delay and hope that I will be able to post more the upcomming weeks (I am planning on buying a stamping tool with christmas motives! I am a huge fan of christmas).


Back to the colour!
Well, I guess it not so much a colour as it is an "effect". It is sort of a dark petrol colour with spiky glitter.
"Spiky".

Despite the fact that I feel the name does not fit the actual effect, I do like it. I think it has a beautiful shade of dark petrol and it really suits my other petrol polish. 
For this design I used the petrol polish as my base, and used a dotting tool to make a little dot-effects on my fingers. On the ring finger I used some striping tape to create the pattern (I later realized this looks like the peace-sign, which was not originally my intention). 



I hope you like it!


Ps. As this is my first picture I apologize for the quality. I am on the hunt for a good picture processing program, and still working on my camera's different settings! As we say in Japanese: sumimasen (I am sorry)!
