Ugly Manicure Monday - 21

Hi there!

This ugly manicure comes courtesy of Dana...

OPI - Kreme De La Kremlin and SoFlaJo - Champagne Cocktail.

Dana took part in a random manicure challenge, where the participants randomly chose polishes for their manicures... she closed her eyes and grabbed them. While she loves each polish individually, she knew right away that they wouldn't play nicely together. Dana said her manicure might have looked better had she kept Champagne Cocktail by itself on her accent finger instead of layering it. She also said that she likes the idea of Champagne Cocktail layered over a darker, cooler-toned polish... like purple or black.

Thanks, Dana!

This is one of the first manicures I've seen where my first response was actually saying "EWW" aloud! I definitely agree that Champagne Cocktail would look better over a darker, cooler polish!

If you have an ugly manicure, I'd love to feature it! Email me with what polish you used and what you intended your manicure to look like :-)

Until next time...

SoFlaJo - Call Forth Dragons

Hi there!

I really love it when people are inspired to mix their own nail lacquers. My friend, Jody, at SoFlaJo recently started her own line of color changing top coats called The Year Of The Dragon. This is 1 of 8 from the collection...

My nails painted with Orly - Plum Noir and
SoFlaJo - Call Forth Dragons.

I painted 1 coat of Plum Noir before I painted 2 coats of Call Forth Dragons to achieve what's pictured. Call Forth Dragons is a frost base with silver holographic glitter suspended throughout it.

With a flash...

My nails painted with Orly - Plum Noir and
SoFlaJo - Call Forth Dragons.

The glitter is ultra fine, so removal is quick and easy. If you're interested in seeing more topcoats from SoFlaJo, click here.

This is what my polish looked like before the addition of Call Forth Dragons...

Until next time...
