I''v been ridiculously busy recently and every time I paint my nails I end up forgetting to take pictures of them! But luckily for this design, I managed to capture a few photos late at night, the day before I removed the mani... as it was a week old by this point!
So apologies in advance for not the best pictures, hope you still enjoy the post!
This was my very first attempt at doing a skittles mani, and I was inspired by a dress i'd bought during the boxing day sales. This dress was grey and purple but with flowers, and I decided to stick to the same colours but mix up the design a little more =]
The polishes used were OPI Siberian Nights (deep, vampy plum) and China Glaze Pelican Grey (subtle shimmery grey). I used a dotting tool for the polka dots and little silver beads for the bow.
Usually my first attempts at anything end up disastrous, but this turned out really well, even though I created it on a complete whim!
I'm so happy with how it turned out and even got a few compliments from random strangers in the street! *blush* =)
What do you think of these kinds of skittle designs? Ever created any yourself? =)

ReplyDeleteBy taking just a few minutes before bed to remove your makeup, you can keep your skin clear, healthy and moisturized.
