The colors I used.

Bottle shot!

The harsh lighting showed off the nails the best, despite the bad look of the photo overall.

Normal lighting.

This nail turned out best.

The mess.  It took all of those to clean the nail polish up around my nails.

So it's not letting me add text to the top of this post.  Oh well!  So I tried to make it look like a summery sunset.  I actually really like these.  They may not be perfect, but they're me.  I like subtle craziness.  I really don't know how to describe these nails, obviously.

I painted these Wednesday afternoon and it's Friday.  They haven't chipped at all.  Which is great because 1. I love them and 2. Normally N.Y.C. nail polish chips an hour after I paint them.  I hope these last me until next Wednesday at least.  I seriously love them. 

Oh and if you want to know the exact colors I used here they are: OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener, N.Y.C. Fuchsia Shock Creme 111A, Times Square Tangerine Creme 112, N.Y.C. Taxi Yellow Creme 114A, and OPI RapiDry Top Coat. 

I used the sponge technique to do this, and the mess happened because the sponge was too large.  Also partly because I suck at being clean while painting my nails.  I painted on the nail strengthener first, then the fuchsia shock creme (2 coats).  Then I poured the pink, orange, and yellow onto a plastic bag right by one another.  I swirled them a little bit with a tooth pick.  Then I dipped the sponge in and covered my hands, I mean nails, with it.  I repeated the pour, swirl, sponge steps a few times.  Then I added the top coat.  It's super easy, just less effective I guess. 

What do you guys think?  Are there any nail trends you've tried that you like?

xxoo,
Claire.
