Electric Blue Micro French nails
Electric Blue almost to the point of invisibility with a hairline Milky Cobalt edge — the quietest thing in the library.
3 bottles: Electric Blue, Milky Cobalt and Petrol Blue. Electric Blue and Milky Cobalt sit a comfortable distance apart: the motif is clearly legible without shouting, which is the easiest range to freehand in. The bottles are not all the same finish (crème and sheer), so the pattern picks up light differently from the ground.
It sits on a squoval, meaning square walls with the corners filed off, which gives the flattest and widest canvas here and the least distortion at the edges.

Questions about Electric Blue Micro French
Is Electric Blue Micro French hard to do at home?
Yes, with a steady hand. The motif is freehand, so the first nail is usually the worst one. Budget around 45 minutes for a full set, and three colours means three chances for something to bleed, so cure between each one rather than working wet on wet.
What polish do I need for Electric Blue Micro French?
3 bottles: Electric Blue (crème), Milky Cobalt (sheer) and Petrol Blue (crème). Plus a base coat and a gloss top coat, which every design here assumes you already have.
Does Electric Blue Micro French work on short nails?
A squoval works short: you lose canvas width rather than length, so the motif just sits closer together.
How many coats does Electric Blue Micro French need?
More than you would expect. Milky Cobalt is translucent, so the colour builds over three thin coats rather than covering in two. Stop wherever you like the depth — that is the point of a sheer.
