NOTD: Textured Nails

Hi everyone! Do you see my awesome new header? Isn't it gorgeous? Niki over at Polish on Digital Paper made it for me, go check out her awesome blog! Thank you so much Niki, I absolutely love it! I do a happy dance everytime I see it! :D
(Back to our regularly scheduled programming) Today I bring you kind of a strange manicure; I think that the execution could be improved upon. I used ELF Dark Navy as the base with a light coat of ELF Pearl over it. Now I only planned on doing a very thin layer of Pearl to kind of turn it grey, but I put too much on. So I kept swiping my brush over the nail and it created a neat contrasted texture on the nail. It isn't as bright in real life, but it is in the light. It looks rugged, don't you think? You like or dislike?
