Blue Marker Pen Nails

I liked my orangey-pink blended alcohol ink nails so much that I decided to have another go with a blue colour scheme.  I used two blue marker pens for these nails. 


I started with a base of Barry M Cotton, a pure white creme. Then I doodled a bit with the two pens, and then dabbed with a fine brush dipped in surgical spirit to get this blended effect.


I really like how it came out!  Although having said that, it was really tricky to clean up round the cuticles, even with a liquid latex barrier. 


It's an interesting effect though, and I like the marbled, splodgy look to it.  

I think I might try stamping over it, but I can't decide what to do! What would you stamp over this, and in what colour?
