Today I've combined two challenges for my manicure: this month's theme in the Nail Challenge Collaborative is 'Skittles', and today's theme in The Neverending Pile Challenge is to use as many untrieds as possible in one manicure; these both seemed to naturally go together for me. :)
My inspiration came came from Sweet Heart Polish Hurry Ba-ack, which I reviewed last time--and yes, I did snap up the limited edition set so I own my very own full-size of this. But it hasn't gotten here yet...So do I count this as a 'press sample', or as 'personal collection', lol? I'll let you decide.
The point is, that was my inspiration, and I wanted to do a campy sort of celestial skittle manicure based around it. Here is what I put together:

Here's what I did:
Index finger: Zoya Peyton (unused)
Middle finger: Mentality Foxy (unused); stamped with Konad black and Pueen 61 (from the Stamping Buffet set)
Ring finger: Sweet Heart Polish Hurry Ba-ack over Julep Kristy (a very dark midnight blue; unused)
Pinky (and thumb, not shown): Sinful Colors Starry Night (unused)
So, that total comes out to four unused polishes in one mani--not the most I'm sure, but not too shabby! I love the theme and I love the way the skittles came together. I hope you like it too!
Hugs,

That is such a nice skittle! Love the colors you choose to use along with the stamping too.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! It's sooo hard for me to do anything without stamping on it, lol!
DeleteI really love this! Index and ring are my faves.
ReplyDeleteThank you thank you!! :)
DeleteUntried is untried no matter what the source. I like how this is fun & kinda vampy at the same time! <3
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's funny you say that, I almost used Payton for the 'vampy' one, but I ran out of time. :)
DeleteOMG I love that stamp - its the only one I like from the entire new pueen line :) *green with jelly*
ReplyDeleteIt's one of my favorites, too. I'm still working on a good mani that uses the stripey version of it...
DeleteUm, at first glance I thought those were some (odd looking, sure) coffee beans. :D
ReplyDeleteI do love the theme you went for, looks really great. And that must be pretty satisfying, huh, making such a dent into the untried pile? :)
ROFL! Okay, it took me a minute to see that. I was like 'coffee beans?' But now I see them, lol. And awww, how sweet of you to say that it makes a dent in my untried pile...I have bought next to no polish (literally about 6 bottles only) since I quit my job in August, and I still have at least 50 untrieds in my box (and I've been doing most of my manis using untrieds for ages). No, I don't have a problem, why do you ask?? :P
DeleteWoot! Very beautiful mani! :) I have to get my hands on Pueen stamping buffet. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you thank you!! :)
DeleteI couldn't wait to get those Pueens, but haven't used a single image yet. They all seem so....chunky? Will have to break them out soon! Oh, and I love this!
ReplyDeleteYes, I know what you mean. That's the reaction I had to them at first, too. Especially when you compare them to the ones like MoYou, which have much finer details. Definitely a very different type of look!
