This month the Digit-al Dozen is doing a week of manis inspired by the different continents. After doing a little research, I thought a recreation of Mt. Everest would be appropriate for Asia, being the highest mountain in the world, it is a pretty big deal. See my inspiration image for this mani here.
I used a no-name royal blue polish from Deb for my base, gradienting (gradiating? whatever, I'm going with it) the blue downward with a little bit of white. The mountains were pretty fun to paint! I splotched on a mix of Rica Whiteout and Wet'n'Wild Echo Dark, layering, creating some brush strokes, generally just going for the look of snow-covered peaks. The bottom right corner of the darker mountain on my middle nail is my absolute favorite part, that area in particular ended up looking so neat!
