Emerald Ikat

Hello beautifuls!

Last week, Brittney from Precious Polish came up with an excellent idea to do a group post on this year's trend according to Pantone: Emerald!

I personally do not think this colour compliments my anything...so naturally it was challenging coming up with something...went through my stash, and here's what I found:

More so turquoise than anything, it looks like...haha!

SO what's a girl to do? I decided to mix two polishes together:

China Glaze- Turned Up Turquoise

Cometic Arts- no name

I sponged them on as gradients, and the colour came out subtle but fitting to the theme!

Also, I developed a new obsession with glitters....I'm not sure what took me so long....but I bought these:

Look at them....it's like a party on your finger nails....

:D

Anyhoo...as you can already see...this mani didn't photograph as well as I had hoped...I have no idea why...but these Ikats are IMPOSSIBLE to photograph...maybe I just need better picture taking skills

But you guys! Believe me when I say this: this print looks absolutely amazing in real life...

so very sophisticated in my opinion.

That's all for me today, hope you enjoyed my Emerald Ikat mani!

Geometric Fun with Cosmetic Arts

Hello there!!

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend! Mine was pretty eventful so I thought I'd show you my weekend mani!

This look features a very yummy forest green by Cosmetic Arts. I bought this at ROSS a while back.

This colour is perfect for Fall. 

I did find this polish a little on the runny side, a little hard to control.

But the coverage was good, it reaches complete opacity at 2 coats if you apply carefully.

I added gold triangles on the fingers with this forest green colour on. They accent each other quite well!

PS- I am IN LURVE with my ring finger...I think I want to do another mani with that design on ALL fingers!

I was all going for looking fierce and stuff, until a friend pointed out that they look "Christmasy"

....... -____- .......

Also...this is random, but I never thought I'd have this much trouble drawing triangles on nails with my non-dominant hand.

But I struggled though it, and both hands turned out okay!

That's it for me today, hope you enjoyed today's mani.

Have a wonderful day, lovers!
