NOTD: Scratchboard Nails

Hello my sweets!  It's Friday and I'm spending the day with Tyler and Owen :D

Today I have for you some "scratchboard" nails :)  The name for this was suggested by my friend Trixie from my SMYTC group :)

Remember when we were kids and we would colour a blank piece of paper with lots of different coloured crayons and then use a black crayon and colour over the entire sheet, then use a toothpick and draw images into the black to allow the colour behind to show through?  This was the idea I got before I received my black crackle polish from Julep, Ursula.  As soon as I got it, I tried it.  (This was also supposed to be my Day 1 design for the November Nail Art Challenge but realized after I had already taken it off that I forgot my little sign, lol!)

So I started with dotting my entire nail with the 6 colours of the rainbow:
Julep Deluanay (red)
Julep Parker (orange)
Julep Mystery Yellow
Avon Electric Green
Julep Gunta (blue)
Julep Morgan (purple)



It reminds me of a gumball machine :)  Then I applied Julep Ursula over top, a black creme crackle polish.



TA DA!!  I love the look of this, I will definitely be trying it out with neon colours as well :D  As I've mentioned before, I am pretty new to the crackle polish train, but I really like the effect they have, it's different every time :D

So what do you guys think?  Do you like this, or is it not quite your cup of tea?
