Summer Challenge Day 2 - Picnic

Day 2 (July 3rd) of the Summer Challenge is Picnic. I decided to go with a July 4th-themed picnic to celebrate the holiday. I'll admit, I had a hard time getting inspired for this one. So, here is my take on Picnic Nails.

So what do you think? I had to go with the traditional picnic blanket look, and used stamping to achieve the checkers. This was done using mash-50. For an accent nail I just had to try out Julep America, and it is quite pretty. This time I started with Pure Ice Super Star! for my base -then I just stamped over them with Nicole by OPI Sealed With A Kris, and added my ants with a dotting tool. Once again, I used so many colors for this, I'll just list them out:

• Pure Ice Super Star!
• Nicole by OPI Sealed With A Kris
• Julep America
• Pure Ice Black Rage
• China Glaze Four Leaf Clover
• Spoiled I Only Eat Salads
• Sally Hansen Hi-Def
• Misa What A Wonderful Day
• Cover Girl Espresso

Here are a few more pictures, and my thumb so you can see it better.
