The idea is we have 5 themes to do with 4 different color combinations. Each combination can only be used once and the 5th mani is going to be Rainbow, for which we use 4 different colors (not necessarily from the previous combinations). It might sound a little complicated but it's really not! Check the challenge page for more info, or if you want to join!
For today we have Love & Life, the most abstract of themes in my opinion. I decided to use the Orange and Pink combo because it's the one I liked the least and I wanted to get it out of the way. Fun fact: I only have one orange polish and one pink polish that I purchased solely for this challenge!
I started with a base of Bettina Cotton Candy and lightly sponged some white on the tips so the orange stamping would show better. Then I stamped with Sally Hansen Sun Kissed and BM-202 (heart), RA-119 (butterfly) and RA-115 (tree and grass).
I'm honestly not 100% sold on the mani itself, but it might be because of the colors. I also wasn't feeling terribly creative so I just did the stamping based on what I found appropriate within the theme. The heart represents love, butterflies represent life (and love because I love butterflies), and of course, the tree and new grass represent how everything comes to life during spring!

I think they came out great even if you don't like the colors, I love that they're all something different!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I don't usually do the skittles manis because it feels weird when they're not all the same but I can accept skittles stamping!
DeleteI like what you created. And absolutely love pink polish.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I don't have anything against pink polish, I just haven't found one that I like with my skin tone.
DeleteI think it looks great, especially if we conceder the fact that you had no other colour possibilities with pink and orange.
ReplyDeleteFun fact with me is that I was newer a pink fan, but yesterday when I was making my manicure I found plenty pink polishes, and I really don't know when did I get them =).
I saw a lot of us chose the pink and orange, weird no? I love it when I find random polishes around my house but the colors are never that great :S
DeleteI love this! I like how the base color turned out.
ReplyDeleteI actually forgot to swatch before I stamped, the sponging came out nicer than my previous attempts!
Deletei love the colors you used! :) very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
