Mish Mash Challenge: Faux Stone

Hellooooooo cupcakes!

Whew! Sorry guys I didn't mean to take a little break! I'm on vacation this week so I haven't been able to find the time to do my nails or edit any pictures :( BUT! I made sure that I would be able to post my mish mash challenge post today. 

The theme is faux stone.... what? LOL I literally had the hardest time coming up with inspiration for this one. I googled faux stone, faux stone nails, stone, pretty stones, etc... and finally after an hour of searching I came up with this picture of malachite. I'm not sure exactly what malachite is but it's so pretty! 

To create this look I started with a base of China Glaze Running in Circles. Then I used a few different greens, white and black acrylic paint to create some random patterns. When that was dry I did a layer of China Glaze Fairy Dust and one coat of Poshe and I was finished!

blurred to show that sparkle ;) 

I really liked doing this design surprisingly, it was really easy because you don't have to be so precise. That's the beauty of stones, they are so random, and I think that was the whole point of this theme to really expand our creative visions ;) Deep enough for ya? LOL

Thanks so much lovelies and I'll try really hard not to go missing again! Make sure you check out everyone else's faux stone designs :)
