Sandcastles 2 ~ Electric Boogaloo!

Ok. I didn't give up. If you read this yesterday, you saw my attempt at painting sandcastles on my glue on nail blanks. Bless and blast you Robin Moses for putting that desire in my heart for painted sandcastles on my nails!

So with fresh eyes today, I approached this project again.

Ok. I think I can live with this. Less is more, so to speak. Instead of trying to define all the sandbricks, I thought just an outline was enough.

I also finished the outline.

I like the filled outline on the nail but it might look better without when I put the nails on. We'll see...

What do you think? Does it remind you of a sandcastle? Should I leave the total outline or just the topline in black?
