Howdy! Today is Day 2 of the 31 Day Challenge...Orange nails! Orange is my least favorite color (again with the challenging Challenge). No real reason for it, I'm just more partial to blues and purples, so the warm side of the color wheel gets neglected. You might remember a couple of weeks ago, a customer at work gave me a whole bag full of nail polishes that she wasn't using (thanks again and Hi! to Brody!). In the bag of stuff she gave me was a set of Sephora nail polish, a collaboration with Pantone. It's a fun set including a glitter, a creme, a shimmer and a matte polish all in the same color. This one is called Tangerine Tango and was just perfect for this challenge! Here are my orange nails for the day:
I used two polishes from the Sephora set here. I started with 2 coats of the creme on every nail. Then, using the glitter, I accented my thumbs and ring fingers. Because I can never do things simply, I actually applied a layer of Tangerine Tango glitter and then a layer of KleanColor Chunky Holo in Poppy just to add some extra dimension to the accent nails. I think this turned out well...simple and clean with just a bit of sparkle. Tangerine Tango is impressing me so far, good application and coverage and the finish is nice on both polishes I tried. The color is so fantastic that I'm going to have to rethink my aversion to orange and bulk up the choice of it in my stash!
Only 29 days to go! Thanks so much for reading!
Howdy, everyone! You can guess from the title of my post that I've decided to join in the 31 Day Challenge this month! I was going to put it off til October, but I have a lot of fun Halloween manis planned and I didn't want this to interfere. So, basically, it's a different manicure every day following the guidelines below:
I swiped this image from Kayla over at Nails by Kayla Shevonne, as she said anyone who was interested in participating was welcome to it.
Day number 1 is pretty simple; Red Nails! I don't often wear red nail polish these days. I'm not opposed to color but I think it's such a "standard" nail polish color that I overlook it in my stash a lot. Already this Challenge is pushing me out of my box...I love it! Here's my take on the red nails challenge:
I started with one coat of Wet 'n' Wild's Red Red and then added a coat of Sephora by O.P.I. in What's Your Poison?, a great red and silver glitter in a red jelly base. I used a coat of Seche Vite to help everything firm up and then I applied e.l.f #20417 from Target to just the tips of my nails. I've been unable to find names for this polish brand so if anyone knows any other way to refer to these, I'd love to hear about it! #20417 is a micro-glitter gold base with large hexagonal holographic glitters mixed in, very pretty! This is my first time trying e.l.f. and I liked it, but to warn you, it smells a lot like the KleanColor polishes. PeeeeeeeeYouuuuuuuu!
I know that technically I'm posting this manicure a day late, but I promise I did apply it before midnight on the 1st...just took some time to get photos and a post together. I'll try to be more timely for the rest of the month. If anyone else is participating, I'd love to see what you come up with and I'd love to hear what you think of my manis!
Thanks so much for reading!
