NOTD: Skittles with an animal print accent

To create this manicure I used 4 China Glaze shades: #80932 Something Sweet; #81192 Life Is Rosy; #81357 Charmed, I'm Sure; #Gossip Over Gimlets.


Gossip Over Gimlets is a silver foil I've had for a while now, it is special because of golden flecks it has. The other 3 polishes are new purchases and surprisingly none of them turned out the same it looked in the bottle :) Something Sweet was a pastel lilac leaning towards pink in the bottle and turned out baby pink with a strong cold undertone on my nails. Charmed, I'm Sure was pure aubergine and turned out nearly black with vampy red hint, but still looks somewhat aubergine in the bright sunlight. Life Is Rosy turned out the most accurately, was just a little bit more dusty looking in the bottle. So the manicure looks not exatly what I imagined LOL, but I like it anyways!

For accent finger I did 3 coats of Someting Sweet, let it dry and then freehanded leopard pattern using the smallest dotting tool i have and Life is Rosy + Charmed, I'm Sure.
Leopard patter is very easy to freehand, I even managed to do it with my right hand which is not my dominant hand :)
I love the way leopard print looks next to foil/metallic finishes.

 You can see in this picture below how much dustier Life Is Rosy looks in the bottle than on my index finger! Something to do with thick glass of China Glaze bottle i guess hahaha.
