40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Aqua or Turquoise and Sponging (and then some stamping too)

This weeks colour prompt for 40 Great Nail Art Ideas was Aqua or Turquoise with a pattern prompt of sponging.
I started with a base of Nails Inc St James Square and when I showed my husband he said, ooh turquoise, so I got that bit right.
I chose to sponge with  Leighton Denny Jailbird, Kleancolor Metallic Aqua and HJ Manicure Blue Lagoon thinking they would go well with the base but unfortunately although I could see the differences the camera said, oh all blue then! You can see it if you look closely but perhaps I should have used less similar shades. The end result was pretty, if a little subtler than I intended.
Now, I often have 2 Friday challenges and I usually save one for Saturday. However, the prompts for #wnac2016 were a bit late being announced and as the first one was also sponging I decided I'd combine it with the 40GNAI. The theme for this months #wnac2016 is Love/Hate so I went with Love and added hearts with A England Rose Bower and Apipila Superplate B.
