I decided to do it all in different shades of blue.
First layer was 3 coats of OPI What's with the Cattitude? from the Shrek collection from the start of the year (I cant believe I am actually starting to develop a fondness of creme polishes!!)
Blue patchwork manicure - sunshine
I used sellotape to create the lines for this design. I used a quick dry top coat in between layers but still waited ages before putting the next coat on so as not to rip the bottom one off with the sellotape. The second layer is Color Club Pure energy from the Electro Candy collection. the final layer was OPI Catch me in your net from the 2010 summer Flutter collection. The second and third layers were both done using one thick coat of polish.
I am quite happy with the way this turned out for my first try. I like the idea of using different shades of the same colour to do these manicures. I cant wait to try the same thing with different colours.
Lots of Love

p.s. I stuck the sellotape on my hand to get rid of the excess stickiness first before using it.
