Slowly but surely I will get caught up in the #31DC2014 challenge. In the meantime, I will be posting more than one post a day to do so, hopefully that makes you more happy than anything else! Day 2's prompt is the color Orange. I wanted to use the color Beach Baby from Northern Star Polish which I also reviewed for her a while back (Summer Collection Review). It is a really interesting tangerine type of orange rather than a typical orange with some micro shimmers in it. I combined a couple of negative spaces and white stripes all over to create this sort of skittle mani. I used acrylic paint for the white.
What do you think? I am getting more comfortable with my freehand stripes and lines without tape to guide me, which saves a ton of time. I really liked this design, but wasn't sure if the stripes were cohesive enough. I think I would have rather done the fishtail again instead of just on the pointer finger.I always have a hard time planning out my designs. I'll start something and it never turns out exactly how I envision it, so I just create as I go now. In this case, I think a little planning would have helped. Oh well, live and learn! Thanks for stopping by, if you want to learn more about the challenge, I have posted the prompts below as well as day one and FAQs.
Love the design! :)

ReplyDeleteI love your subtle negative spaces with the bold orange tribal. :D I've never seen orange tribal like this.
ReplyDeleteI really like the design you did on your pointer finger.
ReplyDeleteI really like how this turned out! That's a great orange, and that's saying a lot since I'd have to say orange is my *least* favourite polish colour! I also like how the nails are all different yet still cohesive. :)
