Challenge Week 14: Stripe mani

I am very late with updating my challenges but life in general and going on Easter Vacation in particular meant a lot to me and my family, so I decided not to beat myself up about it.

I don't think it is any secret that I love Cult Nails. I have quite an extensive collection and with good reason: The formula is awesome, colours are outstanding, they are affordable and Maria Morrison, the creative genius behind it, is a total sweet heart.

I find myself returning to those polishes again and again when considering what to choose for my challenges - and this was no exception.

For the first time I swatched!!! I did this manicure and immediately removed it!! That was all kinds of crazy to me since I wear my manis for at least two days, but hey there is always a first :D.

The colours I chose are:

• Bad Devious Nature, a bubble gum pink that was a lab fail, but she liked it so much she is selling it as a regular colour now.

• Feel Me Up, an egg yolk yellow (I know Maria has described it as buttercup yellow, but my eyes see this totally as an egg yolk!!) This is not available for purchase.

Bad D.N. as base colour and Feel Me Up for stripes, and did an accent ring finger with Feel Me Up as base and Bad D.N. for stripes:

 

 

Though I only wore this shortly it made me feel happy, so I might try it as a regular mani another time.
