I have to say that color blocking is one of my least favorite nail arts to do. So you already know, this week was a real challenge: color blocking.
Originally in my mind I agreed to only do 1 nail as an accent but somehow as I began polishing, I totally forgot about it and started polishing all of them. I guess they turned out okay but definitely not something I would showcase again on my blog.

So I straight up just free handed the lines. I don't have the patience to tape each and everyone one of the colors, though it may have looked better. But hey, it is what is! I'm usually a perfectionist but I just could not get this right.
Like what Amandalandish said, I'm not even sure if these pictures deserve a watermark.
For the teal'ish, I used Sinful Colors Athens, for the black, I used Sally Hansen Black Out and Ulta High Roller. Color blocking manis are totally not my thing and I probably won't ever try them again. And lines that aren't crisp just drive me crazy!
What do you think of color blocked nails?

Excited to see my Twinsies' color block manis?

I like this! The colors looks great together, and I would never be able to freehand these lines myself.
