Very Bare French tips

I was thinking if No Not Now is a great mannequin hand color, I should try doing a french tip on it and see what it looks like. I used Barielle No Not Now and Barielle Very Bare for the tips. 

I'm obviously still working on my french tip skills.

Below are my between swatch pictures so I can remember what polishes I used!

Do you ever do random colors to make french tips before you change your polish? Or am I the only crazy one that does that?
