#SPRINGNORULES: Picnic

Today is the last day of our Spring Thaw No Rules Nail Art Challenge. I can't believe it's already over. I had so much fun coming up with all the designs, even though some of them didn't quite turn out the way I wanted.

For this last day, the theme is Picnic and I had a hard time coming up with a fun nail art. So much so that I almost skipped this day, but since it's the last day, I really wanted to do it. So I asked my husband what his first thoughts were when he thought of a picnic. His answers: "Beer, sand and ants"
Well... Beer isn't an option, because I just don't like it and don't want it on my nails. Sand would have been either really easy (I debated just painting my nails with Zoya Tomoko, a sand style polish in a sand(ish) color) or a lot of work (painting sand free hand on my nails would take me forever to do), so ants it is!

I started of with the typical picnic background: a checkered red and white blanket and added just a few black ants to this. The end result turned out... well... pretty nice actually. I didn't expect it, but I really like this mani.

I think the ants are a little oversized compared to my checkered blanket, but who cares?

Thanks so much for all of you who participated in this challenge, I hope you had just as much fun as I did. If you missed out on this one, we'll probably be doing our #XMASNORULES Challenge around Christmas again and we would love for you to join!

If you did do a Picnic nail art, please let me know, I'd love to see it!
