One Stroke, We have Success!!!

After watching probably hundreds of tutorials on the one stroke painting technique, attempting too many times to count and failing miserably. I came across This tutorial by Tartofraises on You Tube - she's an ahmaazing French nail artist with incredible brush control and she makes everything look so easy - anyway, I figured I stood a chance at success with this design so off I set.
I painted my nails with a base of OPI 'My Boyfriend Scales Walls' and added a coat of China Glaze 'Matte Magic' held my breath and jumped in.
AND IT WORKED!!!
It even looks pretty good (if I do say so myself, which I obviously do because I just did :P ) I just used my regular acrylic craft paints, nothing special and a flat brush approximately 5mm wide that came in one of those cheap nail art brush sets that you buy online.
I added some slightly OCD paint 'splatters' to add a bit of colour and then topped it with two coats of my fave top coat - Glisten and Glow HK Girl. Why always two coats? Because I hate my nails not being completely smooth and often one coat isn't quite enough to take all the bumps out. Plus it gives it added protection and wear time, I can usually get a week out of my mani's with the two coats but everybody's physical chemistry will be different ;)

Such a proud moment!
