Ugh! So I really struggled with this one. I couldn't figure out how to showcase 3 polishes together - my untried selection appears to be missing colors that go together well.
Since I was having inspiration issues I decided a little retail therapy was in order and headed over to Sephora. Omg, they were having a polish sale! Illamasqua polish for $4, Nails Inc and Sephora brand $2! I brought home 26 new bottles.
Sadly, I still managed to have issues. So here is my 3 color manicure with a 4th bonus color.
Illamasqua Radium, Viridian, & Baptiste used in fishtail braid. This nail had so much polish on it! For a first try its not terrible, but it's pretty bad. The perfectionist in me wanted to take it all off and do it again nicer, but I realized that 1. It was already getting late and it would take awhile and 2. I'll just get this one over with since I had such issues with it.
The bonus color is Nina Ultra Pro Electric Slide a really nice neon green jelly glitter.
Also included is my haul from Sephora.
A hint I learned from quilting is to squint your eyes at the colors and see if you get contrast between them. You want to have different levels-light, medium, dark-in order for them all to show up.
ReplyDeleteNice haul! Why do I never find that? /whine
I quilt too and use that technique all the time with fabric. I hadn't thought about it with my polish. Thanks for the tip!
