You can see my previous try on this pattern here, it was inspired by Precious Polish, who also made a tutorial, but I came up with different way to do this and I'd like to share it with you.
I couldn't decide about the colour combo, I wanted something pop-art-ish, so I ended up with different combo on each nail, skittles.

I used white polish base (Gabriella Salvete 148) and acrylic paint. I sealed the design with 1-2 coats of NYC Turbo Dry top coat.
Good news, I learnt how to take proper photos under artificial light - dark background does the trick!
I did my right hand too, but I couldn't do both in a row (one hand took about 1,5h), so I painted left one day and right the day after (and I wore plain white polish on my right hand during the second day).

How do you feel about this design and wearing different colours on each nail?
Let me know if you try this pattern! (I highly recommend trying, looks very effective even with imperfect lines, almost like wraps. And if you don't feel like doing all 10 nails, you can always go with an accent nail.)

Wow! These are INCREDIBLE! Seriously amazing job. As a general rule, I don't love skittle manis, but I've never seen one look so elegant!
