Hi Goddesses
And welcome to another post in my "obsession with OPI Brazil" series lol.
Today we turn to stripes, and I don't know about you, but I kind of want to eat my fingers - don't they look like chewy sweets?
To get a more random look, I again painted my base colour in a skittle. I like things to be slightly off centre, and this prompts you to do your stripes in a different order.
Again, I was only using the brights from the Collection, so we have -
I Just Can't Cope-acabana Where Did Suzi's Man-go?Kiss Me I'm BrazilianToucan Do It If You TryLive.Love.Carnaval.
I know I keep saying it, but I do like it when a collection plays so nicely together :)
Hi Goddesses
I hope you all had a good long, relaxing weekend. I had a MILLION nail ideas in my head ... until my sinuses interrupted and slammed me into bed for most of the weekend. Still, I did rearrange my Pinterest boards ....
I've been sat on this mani for a little while now, and it's been hard BECAUSE I LOVE IT SO MUCH, but I wanted to show it after you saw the skittle it was created on top of - and you saw that in Saturday's SIMPLES post - here.
The Waterfall remains incredibly easy to do, and it has fast become one of my fall back nail designs. If I'm stumped, I find this a really easy (and quick) one to rock n roll with.
This features all the brights from the OPI Brazil Collection, and a little bit of Don't Bossa Nova Me Around, too. So we have -
thumb - I Just Can't Cope-acabana
index - Where Did Suzi's Man-go?
middle - Kiss Me I'm Brazilian
ring - Toucan Do It If You Try
pinkie - Live.Love.Carnaval.
Hi Goddesses
And welcome to Week 2 of Simples! I loved seeing all your versions of the plain accent nail last week, and I hope you will continue to enjoy our journey.
Today we have one of my favourite types of mani - the plain skittle. I use this quite often, for a variety of reasons, and it never fails to make me smile.
So what is it? Well, a skittle is a mani where every nail is different. Often, this means different patterns, but at this early stage we're focusing on different colours. Today I have 5 of the OPI Brazils, and I LOVE that they play together so nicely.
So, why would you do a Skittle?
* OMG you just bought all these amazing polishes DUH and like, you don't know which one to wear first. Lol.
* hhmmmm, these 5 polishes are rather similar. How can I prove that I need them all? (Also, a REALLY useful way to destash).
* a great way to wear colours from a new collection together
* it's fun, it's quick and it's easy!
I've done a lot of plain skittles on the blog before, for all of the above reasons -
And I also did one where every nail was the same colour, but a different texture -
So, Skittles, super simple, no skills needed - just pure randomness and a lot of happy :)
Remember, if you want to share your mani, come and join the group HERE.
Next week, we'll look at something similar but different - the Ombre Mani xx
