boldest to date

My camera couldn't capture this polish's true color. It's actually much more rich and saturated than the pictures show. I did like this one a lot but it was so bright it was distracting at work. :P so I only had it on for 1 day.

The true polish color is right around this color but imagine much richer and slightly shimmery

polish: China Glaze Turned up Turquoise (INK collection)
konad plate: m81
konad polish: black
other: Art Club nail art sprinkles in black stars

playa del carmen 2010

Couldn't think of what to paint for my vacation coming up this weekend. gonna be with family and it'll be craziness! 17 of us in 3 villas at the Royal Haciendas! woohooo!
Wanted something that would be easy to manage (ex. no gems to fall off). This polish design started with metallic lime green and the same pastel yellow... but then it looked too Carnival-ish. So I went with the pink as it was a generally softer color. I actually chose to wear yellow nails for my last trip to Playa del Carmen with my family too. lol.

Man... I need a tan. :P



Base Color: a nude color from Orly... not sure what it's called. Might be "Sheer Nude"

Tip Color: OPI's Italian Love Affair, OPI's Banana Bandana
Striper: Gold glitter from Art Club (b/c the glitter was finer than Kiss's version of the gold glitter striper.
