Misslead Salsa

I have a super pretty polish to show you today! Shade 5 from 2true's Crystal collection. It is absolutely stunning!

Shade 5 (on all fingers apart from accent) is a beautiful orange, pink, gold and silver microglitter bombshell which is primarily orange glitter. It is a dream to apply and isn't even that difficult to remove, perfect. The colour really gets me too, I love oranges and this one has a little kick to it. It reminds me of salsa dancing (I have no idea why) and that makes me happy!

The yellow polish is Misslead by Missguided which came free in a magazine, I'm pretty sure it was Glamour but I could be wrong. This is a warm yellow with a prominent silver microglitter/shimmer. This is a really pretty polish but I'm not too sure I liked it as part of this manicure...

I used Barbara Daly base, two coats of the Natural Collection's Antique Coral on all but my accent nails, two coats of Shade 5 and 2true top coat. On the accent nails I applied two coats of Barry M's Lemon Ice Cream, two coats of Misslead and 2true top coat.

Overall I would have preferred Shade 5 without an accent nail. I'll remember that next time.

21. THE END + stamping

I've finished the Plasma Plays In 21 Ways nail challenge! I have to say I am so glad it's over and I can probably say that I will never do a nail challenge again. While it was fun learning new techniques, I hated feeling so constricted and not being able to choose my own colours and things to do.  From now on I will probably just take ideas from challenges but never fully commit to the whole thing. It's much more fun to do your own thing anyway!

Onto the nails

21 Finally, add a black stamp to that yellow

I used the Bundle Monster plate BM201 and MUA black for stamping over mani number 20.  I wasn't too happy with the positioning of the stamp on my index finger and there is slight smudging on my pinkie but I really couldn't be bothered taking it off and doing it again, I just wanted the challenge over with...

I felt that the stamping massively improved the yellow and I received a lot of compliments for this mani!  So it definitely grew on me, although I couldn't shake the image of having ten wasps attached to my fingers...

20. Yellow

20 Go yellow
Let me start off by saying I hate yellow nail polish.  It's okay if it is part of a design or something but on it's own I think it looks hideous.  This did little to change my mind.

This is a coat of Rimmel base, three coats of Lemon Ice Cream by Barry M and 2true top coat. Application was pretty streaky but it evened out with the third coat.  I wasn't happy with it though and went straight on to mani number 21 after I had taken the pictures, I just couldn't bear to leave it like this.

I don't think it would be to bad if it was part of a pastel mani, or a base for a design, but plain yellow is such an eyesore to me!
