Today I did a really simple manicure that I named sort of as a joke...I wanted something very bright and summery because well, let's face it, it sleeted here most of the day and in my pessimism, I don't think spring is ever coming to the great Show Me State, let alone summer!
I started off with a base coat of ellagee Grip, then polished two coats of Orly Fabulous Flamingos. It's a hot pink shimmer that immediately makes me think of flip flops, which I'm dying to wear right now! Then over the top I polished one coat of ellagee A Kiss For Luck from the White Lace and Promises collection. It makes me think of how frost looks with the sun shining through it and I love how it makes the hot pink look! I topped it off with ellagee Glass for the amazing shine!
What do you think? Are you over winter too??
If you saw my post yesterday, you saw my Brown and Bling manicure. I absolutely love the color combo of that mani, but I will tell you, it's a special occasion or work mani only...the striping tape couldn't hold up to cleaning and laundry today! I will definitely do something like it again, just not the night before I have a day full of house chores planned!!
Love this combination! For your brown and bling mani, you could always polish the blue first, add the tape, polish brown over it, and pull the tape off! That's what I do when I want the stripes to last longer without peeling off and driving me insane! ;)
ReplyDeleteOooooh you just gave me a great idea!!!!! I will definitely do that when I want the stripes to last longer next time....but I got a new color combo idea....hehehe!
ReplyDeleteOOOOOH, can't wait to see it!
DeleteHeather has a great idea. This one also reminds me of some sunsets esp those where it has just rained.
