I was inspired by Emerald Sparkled’s look, and created something similar.

Sorry for the crap photo quality, but this is the most color accurate photo I could get of Essie Turquoise & Caicos, a color that my camera insists is blue. But my Flip camera sees otherwise!

This is okay, but not spot on.
I painted on Essie Lapis of Luxury and Essie Turquoise & Caicos, skittle style first. Then I painted the other color on the base using a little paint brush. 🙂

The series of scheduled posts 😉 I will be gone to Florida for Spring Break, and am only bringing my Nailtique treatment so tonight I went all out making various looks to post over the week 🙂

Base color: Color Club Where’s the Soiree?
Blue shiny thing: Sally Hansen Hi-Def in Spectrum (which is a lot more gorgeous than the picture and uploading processes allow. It’s more iridescent, green-blue. Mmmm)

Unfortunately while we got into the sweet sixteen bracket, we didn’t advance any further than that today 😦

My alma mater (lol, high school) is here at my university because we host an academic competition, so they’re here to participate. Currently I think they are winning 7 to 2, and will play in the national section tomorrow. Our colors are royal blue and white, so I painted Sally Hansen Insta-Dri In Co-bolt Blue, which is gorgeous! Over it is China Glaze White Lightning crackle.

 Began with OPI Thanks So Muchness! then layered Nfu Oh 52 over it…

 It actually had a strong green tinted shimmer, but the camera insisted on picking up blue. Pretty though 😀

Stamped China Glaze Cherish, a green chrome, with a Konad m64 plate. Then mattified the whole thing down with China Glaze Matte Magic.

Lessons learned? While painting Seche Vite over the flakies so it would dry faster for the stamping, that particular layer has shrunk over time and last night it was verging on just plain gross. It was pulling up so we would see red-orange around the cuticles, and it looked downright grotesque, even with a shimmer so it looked legit! Eww.
