Skittles with flakies

After seeing 'chelle's mani, I knew I had to do some skittling of my own :). The polishes I used from thumb to pinky: Ulta3's watermelon, spring fling, spring blossom, China Glaze's Re-Fresh Mint and Ulta3's spring shower. I applied three coats of polish on my index to pinky and two coats on my thumb. Photo was taken with flash indoors, but I tweaked it a bit in photoshop to make the polishes more colour accurate.

I layered Nubar 2010 over the top to add a little something more to the mani. I think it looks best layered over the yellow ^^

Flower nail art

I've finallyyyyyyyyyyy attempted some nail art again after almost a month. And I've totally lost my touch, the flowers don't look too brilliant. Still, I like the colour combination and I think the rhinestones add a little elegance to the manicure ^^. You can see that the flower on my pointer looks mutated; I accidentally smudged it somehow and didn't realise it until I looked at the photos. And by then, it was too late :P.

I used two coats OPI's Parlez-vous OPI? as the base colour on my thumb, pointer, middle and pinky. On my ring finger, I applied two coats of China Glaze's Light as air. I then swapped the polish colours for the flowers - Parlez-vous for the ring finger and Light as air for the other four nails. Photos are not colour accurate as they were taken indoors with flash.

If it weren't for the pointer nail, I'd be quite happy with this manicure; it looks pretty at a distance anyway :).
