I just did my first skittlette manicure for a contest being hosted by Marta at ChitChatNails. I've never tried one, and I decided to give it a go for the contest! Take a look!
I used my three new Butter London polishes (thanks mom!) to create this nail art. The magenta-plum creme is Queen Vic, the deep pink microglitter is Fiddlesticks, and the green is Jack The Lad. The gold glequins are from the BornPrettyStore (code for 10% off: PPJ61) and the gold microglitter on my index finger is Orly Prisma Gloss Gold. Sealed with two coats of Seche Vite (Fiddlesticks is a hungry one.)
I'm not really a pink person, but without question I'll make an exception for Fiddlesticks! A rich-toned base with dark flecks and glowing microglitter? Yes, please! Queen Vic is an absolutely perfect two-coat creme, and Jack The Lad is such a stunner, although the gold glequins don't let the true beauty of this polish shine through.
I'm obviously not as talented at artsy pictures as Marta, haha! It was a lot harder than I thought it would be to come up with multiple different nails that would all look good together and form a cohesive look. I have so much respect for Marta who constantly comes up with stunning combinations for her manicures!
I'm looking forward to wearing all of these polishes alone, but I also really enjoyed wearing them together! What do you think of my first skittlette? :)
love the look!
ReplyDeleteThank you Stephanie! :)
DeleteI like this a lot! Especially your indexfinger :).
ReplyDeleteThank you! I really liked that one too, I'm thinking of doing a full mani like that soon! :)
DeleteI love this! I've been dying to do a 'skittlette' for ages now but have found it hard to decide what to do. This flows really nicely!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I took quite a while to finally decide on what to do, but I'm really glad with how it came out! Give it a try, I'd love to see! :)
DeleteAhh skittle manis are my faves :) Love yours! A little obsessed with Fiddlesticks now...
ReplyDeleteThanks Alexis! Fiddlesticks is absolutely stunning, you definitely won't be disappointed if you get it! :)
DeleteMarta told me contest entries could only be submitted if they hadn't been posted on a blog......
ReplyDeleteI received an email back from her saying that my entry had been accepted, so it seems to be no problem.
DeleteI like skittle manis and this one is really pretty!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteThis is just gorgeous!! It's a perfect skittlette that Marta would be proud of! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, Fiddlesticks! This whole manicure is lust-worthy. It was my first time doing a skittlette mani too, but I don't think it will be my last. It definitely does take a little bit of planning so that it didn't look slapped together. Yours flows together beautifully.
ReplyDeleteStunning! I've never seen a design like this before
ReplyDeleteAmazing mani! Love this so much! <3
ReplyDeleteThis is really pretty.
