Hello, all! Quick post today! It's late and I'm sleepy! I've got Day 5 of the 31 Day Challenge for you today and the theme was Black and White! I've done a few black and white manis in the past (like my recent Beauty Buffs mani or black and white Digital Dozen week) so I wasn't quite sure what to do for today.

I came across this adorable tea towel print on pinterest and fell in love immediately. It's just so cute! I love mugs and coffee and I can just envision myself drinking from adorable mugs and tea cups like these. I should buy some black mugs and paint them! Anyway, I figured these would make a cute mani and I'm glad I went for it. They're fun and different but I still get my signature floral looking included ;)

The base for these is OPI's My Boyfriend Scales Walls and the black was done with acrylic paints. I painted the black base of each cup first and then went back over and painted each design using white acrylic paint. Thankfully the white I used an MBSW are pretty similar and I don't think you can tell much difference in the colors.
