[press sample] A dark orange creme stamping polish by Born Pretty that can be used as either a dark brown, dark orange, or (as a bit of a stretch) dark red.
Note: Now that I have Maniology’s “Red Sea”, I prefer to use that as my dark red.
Note 2: This is very similar to Born Pretty’s “Sunrise” (press sample), which is just a tiiiny bit more red. If you have one, you don’t need the other.
Woo! I did it! Twenty different designs focusing on twenty Pantone colors for winter. I love that we’re ending on such a bright and powerful color, although I do find it very humorous that this is a winter challenge and it has a color with the word “summer” in it. Read More
Did you know that January is Walk Your Dog Month? I did not, but I am also not a dog owner. Instead, I was searching for a reason to use the dog image on Nicole Diary’s Fashion Trends ND-002 stamping plate because my goal is to use every single image Read More
It’s terribly convenient when the name of a color can be used both as the title of the nail art inspired by it and the subject. Today I have my Orange Tiger mani for #pantone2019winterchallenge run by the lovely Ine (@inegeek) and it’s not getting posted on the last possible Read More
Today I have some nail art depicting Santa’s last vacation before it’s all about getting ready for Christmas. Hit the slopes while you can, Santa! 😄 Today’s colors were inspired by Pantone’s Sugar Almond for #pantone2019winterchallenge. I did have other colors that might have fit the bill, but these were Read More
For the longest time, I just figured that people from Mexico were the ones who ate the most corn. Was it the tortillas and tamales? I don’t know. But it was an unspoken and completely incorrect impression. In fact, Americans are the biggest corn consumers in the world followed closely Read More
A simple nail art today with a super bright shade of red. I am enjoying the #pantone2019winterchallenge since its polish swatch focus forces me to stop piling more details in on a single nail art. Today’s shade is Cranberry, although Ine (@inegeek) has already posted the prompt for next week: Read More
I’m not terribly great at fluid art just yet, but the colors blending together on today’s nail art just make my heart so happy. Also the witch falling off her broom is pretty hilarious. Ah, the joy of the suffering of others. 🤣 Products Used Fluid Art Polishes: Celestial Cosmetics’ Read More
I’ve been trying to find the right design to use for this gorgeous orange holographic polish (Shinespark Polish’s “Poppy Topaz“) and somehow it kept not happening for me. I thought for sure I’d get to it in October, but it didn’t fit any of the Halloween designs I wanted most Read More
[press sample] Orange is definitely not the one of the colors I reach for most. But today’s shade is actually a favorite. It reminds me of an orange glitter polish that I used up long before I started this blog. (I think it’s the only polish I used up pre-blog Read More
[press sample] Yes. Today is a day of romance. Possibly. Or less cheerful things if you are alone and unhappy about it. For the record, I will be eating leftovers and not even sneezing in the direction of a restaurant because my husband and I are just not big on Read More
