Chocolate Covered Nails
For this yummy design I used a red, white, and chocolate colored polish. After letting the brown dry, I took the white and dabbed it onto a sheet of paper. I let it dry a little until it became sticky, took a toothpick and dragged the polish over the nail. This created the white chocolate effect over the brown!
