31DC2016 - Orange jelly over stamping

P2 - Peach Icing, swatch

Peach Icing is a quite bright peachy pastel texture with red shredded particles. I used 2 coats which was as easy as the other from this Crisp Color collection from P2. As you might remember this one has some similarities to P2 - Cotton Candy and I've prepared a comparison of them which you'll see in a future post. I'm all in for textures, but I'm not sure about this color. What do you think? :)

2.45 euro at DM.

P2 - Cotton Candy, swatch

At first I didn't know if I wanted to buy this or the other orange from the collection. Cotton Candy is a muted nude pastel orange base with red shredded particles only. The color almost reminds me of the color crayons used when I was a child to create light skin tone (which is hilarious because no human looks like that). I wouldn't say that it match my skin tone especially well, but I actually liked it more than I thought. It's not beautiful, more like fun and unusual. (Even though I suspect it's quite close some of KIKO's cupcakes.) 2 coats and easy application, as the rest of the polishes from the Crisp Color collection from P2. What do you think? :P

KIKO - 235, swatch

235 is a shimmer orange with yellow toned orange shimmer giving the polish a glowing depth. The color is nice but not unique and given the facts that it took 4 coats to hide the vnl enough (still not 100% hidden) I'm left feeling hesitant. (sorry for the slightly dark and blurry photos btw) What do you think about this polish? Any recommendations for dupés for this with less coats?

Bought at a KIKO store for 2 euro I think.

China Glaze - Orange You Hot?, swatch

Today I'm showing a lovely neon orange from China Glaze's 2012 neon collection. The pictures are actually from last year (time to empty the archive) and I feel that these neons in that collection totally are my "go to-neons". This one and most of them covers in only 2 coats and doesn't need a white base like many neon does. I also adore the shimmer in this neon and it's perfect for gradients. :P

mmm...shimmer! :D

Bought from: head2toebeauty.com/

Kleancolor - Mango, swatch

Hi, today I'm showing Kleancolor - Mango, which I've used in many nail art's since it's creme bright orange without being neon and it also covers well. Formula wise it's very close to Pastel Yellow which I showed some couple of days ago, I needed two coats for it to cover but I did feel that top coat was necessary to even the surface out. This is also the orange I used for my A Clock Work Orange nail art I did for the 31dc. ;)

What do you think about this color alone like this? Like it or is it better for nail art?

31DC2013 Day 21; Inspired by orange; orange fruit nail art

20 days have passed and the third and last part of the challenge starts. This section is called "inspired by.." and today it is "inspired by a color". My color of choice is orange.. which perhaps is the first thing one would think of but I really liked my idea so I went with it. I curious to see what you other did! ;)

Basically as you can see I went for my orange colored texture polish, which in my mind looked like orange peel and then I painted the orange wedge. Or well, I painted the fruit flesh first as a "half moon" and then the peel..you'll get it when you see the pictures. I don't think this is my best nail art ever, but no matter what, it is so fun to look at that I don't mind! Hope you like it too! :D

 I also realized that oranges isn't as orange as the nail polish, my nails looked more like mandarins! ;)

Polishes used;
BK nail art color (white)
Sure Promise (orange)

31DC2013 Day 2; Orange dotted gradient funky french

If you missed yesterday I've decided to participate in the 31 Day Challenge. Today it's orange and I decided to make a dotted gradient which would form a funky french kinda look. I used a sheer shimmer polish from Maybelline which I then covered up in dots, IRL the dots tricked my eyes and the VNL in the photos weren't noticeable at all.

 Polishes used:
Maybelline - DA051
Depend - Nr 124

Feather nail art

For this Sunday I have my very first feather nail art to show. I hated the base color I chose (maybe you don't but pastel orange is not my favorite)..I chose it because I thought it looked good with the brownish color the feather had. No matter what I think I managed to apply the feathers pretty good except on my ring finger (which was my first try). I'll definitely try this more times, it was really simpler than I thought!

The last days I whore it I painted my nails with an effect glitter polish which tingled it up, but I preferred the "natural feather look" better.

ZTIZ nail polish (pastel orange)
Paris Memories (effect glitter polish)
Coq neck feathers

And also, removal was easier than I thought. I thought that the feather would be like a large piece of glitter never going of but they're so thin and came off easily like the rest of the polish.

What do you think about this? Have you tried feather nail art?
