31DC2015 Day 25 - Complement and Contrast

Hi Goddesses




Today's prompt is a very different one, and I think I knew all along that I would be using blue and orange.  Make that 4 blues and one orange.






Here we have colours that complement each other - the varying shades of blue - and one colour which contrasts - the orange.   I've again used the ikat style brushstroke, because I think it suits my style of nail art so well.




Polishes used  -

Elevation Polish Thracian Sea
Barry M Damson
Barry M Elderberry
Barry M Huckleberry
Essie Orange It's Obvious






The random nature of this mani is perfect for me, and each nail was "constructed" differently.  I think the colours play really well off each other, and the matte top coat just nails it.

Digit-al Dozen DOES Fairytales - Rapunzel

Hi Goddesses



Yay, this week is nearly over!





Today is another tolerable post, although you'll find Sheila's Rapunzel is much better than mine.





2 images are at play here.  On the thumb we have the twilight sky that was the undoing of Rapunzel's parents - the nightly search for rapunzel / rampion - apparently a lettuce type thing.  The base is the stunning Thracian Sea by Elevation Polish.





The rest of the fingers are another sideways depiction - Rapunzel's long plait swinging against the brick of the tower.





The tower here is made from Elevation Polish Shilin Stone Forest, and Rapunzel's plait is a mixture of 2 polishes - Barry M Mustard and w7 Lemon Sorbet.





I am quite chuffed that I managed to matte the tower and keep the plait glossy, although the gloss has hidden some of the brushwork.





Phew, only 1 more to go!
