Laid-Back NEW31DC Day 21 - Merge Or Melt

I decided to a pretty gradient for today's post. These are a few new colors that I picked up recently with some early birthday money I got - thanks to my mother-in-law for that! :) They looked so pretty together after I got them all home that I decided they needed to be in a manicure together.

I started off with a couple coats of NYC Tudor City Teal, then I sponged on NYC Water Street Blue and essie play date. So pretty!!!

Here is Tudor City Teal all by itself. I love me some NYC polish!

Thanks so much for looking, please take a look at what the other participants did for today's merge or melt challenge!

Laid-Back NEW31DC Day 20 - Texture

I saw this awesome quilted mani a while back and decided to try to recreate that. I am pretty sure it was done by The PolishAholic, and I saw it here. I decided to use a polish I picked up at Drug Mart on clearance months ago. It felt too bright for winter, so I waited to break it out for you guys until now. :)

This is Loreal Boozy Bruch. I used the same method that The PolishSholic used by adding white to the color for my base coat, then used striping tape to make a quilting pattern, and painted over that with Boozy Bruch. I painted it on nice and thick, so it actually has a quilted feel.

It is a very bright orange that my camera unfortunately washed out a bit. It's pretty - just enough pink in it so it looks good with my skintone. I like it. :)

Well, thanks for looking, check out what the others did for their texture manis - I'm sure there will be lots of those new textured polishes in it. I'm excited to see them!
