Pastel Tribal

Polishes used:

Snowcone- Orly

A Crewed Interest- Essie

Black- Art Deco

So back in September I wussed out of doing a tribal design during a 31 day challenge, but I kept seeing amazing designs since then mostly on Pinterest so I decided to revisit the idea and this is what I came up with. I am super happy with how it turned out, it was bright and vibrant and everyone kept using the term Pop Art to describe it.

 

 Of course I am a silly bunny and forgot to save picture of my right hand which had all different designs from the left. Oops!

Sapphire Silk- Orly

Really cool iridescent polish by China Glaze. The colours go from blue to green to gold. Matched it with Sapphire Silk on the ring finger and added some dots.

This polish reminds me of a beetle shell:

If you are a frequent reader of my blog you may have noticed I am not a lover of "shimmery" nail polish, but I decided to try a bottle a little out of character for me and I must say, I really don't hate it. That's all yer gettin' outta me! lol

Hexagon glitter

Had this polish in my stash for ages and only just tried it and sadly, really don't love it. It looks amazing in the bottle, a black polish with micro red glitter, but has one of those formulas that dries rough. Even with a coat of Sech Vite it was bumpy and rough. Look closely in the picture and you can tell.

Anyone know of a good dupe for this polish?
