Nothing to Disclose
Hello lovelies! Whew, what a mouthful today's title is. And it proved to be the hardest-to-photograph mani I've ever done, too! I had to set the white balance WAAAY off to even get the differences in the colours to show up at all.

Waugh! It's a shame, because it's a lovely mani in person. (You'll just have to take my word on it.) It's an ombré of pink/orange/coral tones. I started by painting my nails with, from pinkie to thumb, 1963, Generally Hazzardous, My Paprika is Hotter Than Yours, 724, and Jinx.
I then 'bumped' each colour over by a finger (e.g., used 1963 on top of Generally Hazzardous) in order to draw the honeycomb shapes. It turns out I'm crap at honeycomb, so I'll have to practice that more. :)
This is as close to a colour-accurate photo of the polishes as I was going to get:
Polishes used:
OPI - My Paprika is Hotter Than Yours, Jinx
Inglot - 724
Duri - Rejuvacote (base coat)
Glisten & Glow - HK Girl (top coat)
medium detail brush
I love love love this colour family but it's impossible for the differences to show up on camera, or at least, on my camera. Any experiences like that before, for you? So frustrating! Come back tomorrow for a look that at least didn't elude my meagre photography skills...
xo,

Ack, totally! I adore coral polishes too, but my camera is just like "nahhhhh" These are really beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteYour honeycomb looks great! I am impressed that it's free-hand! Great job :)
ReplyDeleteCORAL! YES! Coral is the worst for photographing. Not orange, not pink... augh! And thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Emily!
ReplyDeleteI love corals as well and I feel like I keep buying new ones, lol! This mani looks amazing. I totally thought you stamped the honeycombs. I wonder if putting a matte topcoat would help at all with the picture taking.
ReplyDeleteLove the way the glitter on your pinky sparkles.
ReplyDeleteI. LOVE. THIS. Orange is such a hard color for me to work with - they always seem to blend for me.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the camera issues, but it still looks cool! The honeycombs are awesome! My favorite combo is your pinky I think, I love the sparkle over the creme
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous! I am loving your pinky!
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous!
