NOTD: Tribal, Avatar Inspired & New York Summer - Hot Baby Blue

I was watching some you tube videos by Meliney yesterday and came across these tribal nails which are inspired by Avatar. If you haven't checked out her youtube channel, please do. She has some amazingly cute designs. I'm so busy at the moment and to add to top it off, have also hit some sort of mental block...I can't come up with anything creative!!! Arrgghhh!!!

I used New York Summer Hot Baby Blue for the base colour. This was the first time I tried a New York polish and although I loved the colour, I wasn’t impressed with the consistency. This particular blue is so sheer that when I first started applying it, I thought I would need at lest 6 coats...no joke! I ended up painting a white base colour and laying the Hot Baby Blue over it. Much better!! This meant that I only had to end up applying 2 coats and the blue really popped to what it looks like in the bottle:
