So I hadn't given argyle a shot yet, even though I've been wanting to do it for ages. Now was the time!
I started with a light, mint blue. Then I added white hearts, which on its own is an adorable design!
In retrospect I should've gone through the effort of making these light blue, but oh well.
To make the argyle pattern, many videos on youtube suggest making an X with a striper and filling two halves in. That doesn't give sharp points, though, and the color you fill in with kind of takes over in my opinion. So I made an X with a clear polish, and then filled it in. I used a nice chocolate brown for this, since light blue and brown is such a cute combo!
I mixed a golden glitter with a bronze glitter, and applied it over the brown polish while it was still wet, just to give a bit of dimension and sparkle.
I finished off with my white striper, to complete the argyle pattern!
