Artsy Wednesday - Cartoon Nails

Hey everyone! It's time for AW and it comes around so quickly! Today's theme is cartoon and I decided to go with the very cool look that I originally saw by cutepolish! It is literally where you outline your nails with black and add white to one side to make it look cartoon-esque. I also mattified the look to really make the effect stand out! The colours I used are all Zoya flakies. I used 2 coats of each colour (from pinky to pointer were); Mimi, Ivanka, Alegra and Charla (Charla stains soooo bad!). Then I used Orly - Black Vinyl to border each nail with a paint brush and used OPI - Alpine Snow to paint on the white shiny effects. I then mattified it all down with LCN - Matte top coat.
