This is a month long swatch challenge for September.  A different manicure every day!

Green is the colour of the day and this is OPI's Stranger Tides.  It is from the Spring 2011 Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Collection  It is kind of a khaki colour but greyed out...if that makes any sense.  Regardless, I love it...it is such a pretty muted green!  I achieved opacity with 2 coats.

#30DaysofColourChallenge - Pink

This is a month long swatch challenge for September.  A different manicure every day!

Pink is the colour of the day and it is one of my favourite colours.  I decided to create a marble mani using just a simple sponge.  I used Essie's Cascade Cool as the base and for the sponging I used OPI's Mod About You.  I really like the way this mani turned out, very subtle.

#30DaysofColourChallenge - YELLOW

This is a month long swatch challenge for September.  A different manicure every day!

Today's colour is yellow and I chose Sinful Color's Unicorn.  Pale yellows are infamous for having a streaky and difficult to apply formula.  This one was no different, I applied 4 coats to achieve opacity.  I love the colour, but is it worth 4 coats?
