After staring at color wheels, I really wasn't sure what I wanted to do for today's challenge. I was planning to do some pink with green, but that really wasn't the right contrast--green is more of a red opposite. I was a little bummed because I really wanted some pink in the mani, but don't own any lighter green polishes (I know, how is it possible? Mint was everywhere last year!) until I remembered the little beauty Mint Apple!
*1 coat Yello-Out
*2 coats Sinful Colors Mint Apple
*Wet 'n Wild Sparked
*China Glaze Material Girl
*1 coat Out The Door
Mint Apple is a gorgeous mint/seafoam green polish. It is soft and dusty and simply packed with golden shimmer! Two easy coats were perfect for coverage.
I used Sparked, a small light pink hex glitter, as my first gradient polish. I wiped most of the polish off of the brush before beginning at my cuticle and brushing about 2/3 of the way up the nail, letting the glitter get more sparse as it went.
Then, I used Material girl over the top of Sparked, mostly at the cuticle. This is yet another amazing polish from my amazing mom! It is a super-dense pink glitter, with super micro light pink pieces (squares?), small light pink hexes and larger, slightly darker, pink holo hexes. Mine is a bit thick, so I may add some thinner, but part of the thickness is just the unbelievable amount of glitter packed in the bottle!
I like the contrast of the colors, both somewhat dusty in hue. Do you own any of these? Have you found awesome ways to use them? I can't wait to hear!
