NOTD: Turquoise and Gold Skittles
28 Jan 2013

One of the major jewellery trends here right now is gold and turquoise jewellery, so when I saw this bangle and necklace in Lovisa the other week, I knew I needed to do a set of skittles inspired by them.  Not to mention I’ve been pretty slack about doing nail art recently!

Ok, now to break it all down:

Pinky – two coats of OPI Alpine Snow, stamped with Wet N Wild Black Creme and a design from the Cheeky XL D Plate, the one coat of OPI Don’t Touch My Tutu

Ring – two coats of Barielle Do Unto Others, one coat of each of China Glaze Custom Kicks and Beauty And The Beach using the saran wrap method.  Stamped with China Glaze Passion and a design from the Cheeky XL C plate

Middle – two coats of China Glaze Passion and one coat of China Glaze I’m Not Lion

Pointer – two coats of China Glaze Custom Kicks, dotted gradient with China Glaze Passion

Thumb (not shown) - two coats of Barielle Do Unto Others, one coat of each of China Glaze Custom Kicks and Beauty And The Beach using the saran wrap method, stamped with Wet N Wild Black Creme and a design from the Cheeky XL D Plate. (Same base colours as ring finger with the design from the pinky finger).

So there you have it! I was really pleased with how the combination of the different turquoise polishes along with the saran wrap made my ring finger really look like enamel.  I only wish I had done it on my pointer finger too before I did the dotted gradient.
