Before & After: Paisley Skittle

Hello!

Continuing on with the Nail Challenge Collaborative's theme this month, I have a lovely skittle for you today. This one uses one of my favorite sets of nail appliques from Incoco's Spring line, Daydreams, and Zoya Peyton:

BuNa-B

To decorate it, I decided to go paisley. I used different portions of an image from BuNa-B on each nail, except the middle finger (which I left blank). I stamped with Barry M Silver Foil on the pinky and ring, and Sally Hansen Pronto Plum on my index. I finished off the look with a rhinestone and two half-microbeads:

I love the nail appliques--they have a beautiful watercolor feel, like an impressionist painting. And Zoya Peyton is a good contrast with it--the dark plum with the sparkling holo silver offsets the manicure nicely, I think. :)

Spoiler alert: I re-opened up a set of Incoco nail appliques that I've had for about a year now; I used them for a manicure a while back, and saved the extras. After a full year, the extras worked beautifully for nail art, and even adhered well still on their own. They weren't as flexible as they originally were, so don't count on that, but otherwise--really impressive! More about that tomorrow. :)

Hope your hump day has you looking forward to the weekend!
