Hey guys! Happy Friday! Here I am with yet another (late) installment of Golden Oldie Thursdays. This week's theme was orange. Orange is probably one of the colors I have the least of in my collection. It's just not a color I am drawn to. It always reminds me of Halloween or Thanksgiving or high school homecoming. We were the Tigers so of course, our colors were orange and black.
Then, it hit me. It's time to try some nail art! I found a great tutorial from Adventures In Acetone.
I started with two coats of Ulta Bang!, which came in a pop-art themed mini-set a couple of years ago.
This pumpkin orange creme went on smoothly, with no problems and minimal clean-up. The formula was consistent and there really wasn't any worry of cuticle pooling.
Next, I followed with one coat of LA Colors Color Craze in Magnetic Force
This polish added a golden sheen and some visual interest, which I really liked. I got a lot of compliments on this combination
I topcoated and then used this tutorial with an LA Colors Art Deco black striper and a generic Sally Hansen white.
Here's the finished result:
I knew this manicure was a success when one of my co-workers asked me if that was a butterfly on my ring finger :)
I'm really proud of this manicure, also. I can tell that my nail art skills are improving, slowly but surely. It helps that it is such a fun hobby and skill to curate, too!
Be sure to check out what the other girls created for this challenge!
