So here is how my nails looked once I had painted 2 coats of the matt black. Let me tell you, this stuff dries super fast! It was great! Next I had to come up with a design to paint on them with the chalk paint.
It has a skinny brush so that you can do intricate designs. Although, I don't know anyone that would be able to draw something freehand neatly on their nails, especially when using their non dominant hand!
I decided to get out my trusty nail stickers to make the design as neat as possible. I opted for a lightning bolt effect using these stickers (number 7).
So here is the finished effect! What do you think? Probably not as neat as I would have liked. In fact, I quite like the black on it's own. I'd like to try out using just the matte black together with a shiny black, like in this post. Although I think you would need to use a matte top coat if you wanted these to last for more than a day, as it does seem to chip quite easily. So I'm not quite sure how you would get a top coat to work with that design!
What is your take on chalkboard nails?

Thought about buying this but wasn't too sure how it would turn out so it's great to read a review. I have one of the neon duel ended polished and I totally hear you about the difficulty with setting it down. I do like the look of the black on it's own so might just give it a try. X

The other thing I noticed about this dual varnish, was that there were a few times I started opening it upside down by accident, hp laptop backpack , ac blankets for summer I could see it making a bit of a mess if you aren't careful! Also, the skinny shape of the bottles makes them a little wobbly when you set them down, so definitely one to have an old magazine or something under just in case!
