Hombre Skittle Grey for Five

Today I got my Grey-polishes out. And lets just say, that I have a few. Lets just say.. this is not all of them.

Essie - School of Hard Rocks
Ciate - Vintage
FNUG - Runway
China Glaze - Recycle
Kicks - Metro Grey



I wore this all day; did some laundry, and scrubbed the bathroom, and you know what? They all held pretty good!
And hubby wanted to help out, and took some pictures showing all the nails.




What do you think about the position of the hands there?

Whats where:
R Thumb / L Pinky - Kicks - Metro Grey, R index finger / L ring finger - China Glaze - Recycle, R & L middle finger - FNUG - Runaway, R ring finger / L index finger - Ciate - Vintage, R pinky/ L Thumb - ESSIE - School of Hard Rocks.


Summer Challenge - Fruit Salad

So this was also one of the Challenges I just didnt have time for, when it arrived.
But here it is.

I used a ton (!) of polish for this.

ESSIE - Licorice  (dots on strawberry)
FNUG - Clogs (dotted grapes)
FNUG - Bandana (dotted blueberry)
L´oreal - Green Couture (leaves on strawberry, top on banana and random "grass")
H&M - Red Nail ( Strawberry)
H&M - Yellow (banana)
Rimmel - Chic Cherry ( grapes)
L.A. Colors - Current (base color)

You might not see what I had in my mind making this, but even thou, its really pretty.
So lets just enjoy the view.

L.A. Colors - Current

Quick swatch of L.A. Colors - Current.

Reminds me of the coverage and shimmery-ness of the likes of  Max Factor Sunny Pink, and Sunny Blue, only difference is that this is green.

This is three coats.



Summer Challenge - Orange and Green

One of the Challenges we recently had in the Crumpet Nail Tarts - FB group, is Orange and Green mani-day.

I started out with three coat of Lemon Tree  from H&M. Took a sponge and dabbed Summer Peach from Sinful Colors over. I used two "coats". Then I took Irish Green from Sinful Colors, and sponged over two times. As a finishing touch, I added wavy french at the very tip.

I have had some questions how I achieve the sponge-look that I also had in my Whiskey Sour mani . So this time, I added a picture of the sponge that I use for this. Just in case its a sponge / using neon - thingy.

H&M - Lemon Tree

It was about time I got around to do a swatch of this polish.
When I need an orange for sponging, or to wear under a neon, this is the one i pick up.
To see where I have used it before click on "Lemon Tree" underneath, or search for it in the search box --->

I missed out on it, because of work, so I decided to do it today.

For this manicure I used ESSIE - Licorice, H&M - Yellow, and a dotting tool.



Summer Challenge - Needle drag

Good morning ladies.
This challenge post has taken a while to get out there. But here it is. 
I am calling this mani; "Toxic Pink Love". I think you will understand why, in a while.
