Laid-Back NEW31DC Day 8 - Duo Chrome, Flakie or Holo

For this mani, I decided to try out a couple of very old polishes I got from my dad. He is a chemist and had helped create some of the pigments that go in to various nailpolishes. At the time that he gave these to me (probably close to 10 years ago), these colors were not popular, so I didn't really wear them much, but I realized a couple years ago, that they are special. So, I have for you Revlon Silver Switch and KhakiZING. I decided to do a gradient so I could share both.

I took way too many photographs, because it was a bit tricky to capture the color shift. Look out below - photo spam!

And here is one last picture of Revlon Silver Switch all by itself.

Laid-Back NEW31DC Day 7 - Ombre or Skittle

For this challenge, I have decided to do a skittle mani, since I have never done one before. I was really excited to try this out and spent quite a while trying to come up with a nice design. Take a look!

I started out with Julep Eva, then added silver & glitter accents.On my thumb, I used a pretty flakie - Zoya Chloe, and for my index finger, I used Julep Harley to stamp from BM19. On my middle finger, I did a gradient with Eva and Pure Ice Beware, then on my ring finger, I used a dotting tool to add dots, then did stamping using BM20 on my pinkie using Julep Harley again for both.

Here's a pic of my thumb when the sun randomly peeked out. Pardon the dry skin - I couldn't pass up the opportunity for sunshine for a lack of moisturizer! LOVE these flakies!
