I've been thinking about a blue gradient skittle for a while, but the light blue I had was too purple.

Popped into Dollar Tree today, and found an Essie just waiting for me :)

Still working on my painting skills, but the color gradient is exactly what I needed today.

- Basecoat Essie Here to Stay

Color gradient:

- Essie: tu-lips touch (thanks Dollar Tree!!)

- Jessica: Cielo Blu

- Sally Hansen: Pacific Blue

- Olive & June: Sapphire Season

- Jessica: Blue Aria

- Topcoat: Olive & June super gloss topcoat

Loving the bluesy gradient today...

Bingo Entry - Activity Fair

Playing around with glitter and metallic accents for a sparkly red polish.

Polishes used:

• Essie Here to Stay base coat
• Jessica 711 Some Like It Hot (red / all nails but ring)
• CND Bronzestellation (ring finger) x2
• ECO Goddess (glitter topper)
• Essie Gel Couture top coat

I keep trying to do classic red nails, and giving up after an hour or a day.

I think I've just decided that I have to do some sort of accent nail (unless it's a full skittle) to keep my lizard brain interested.

We shall see how long I wear these before I do something else...

Back-to-school bingo entry - Red-Ink Edits

Same main color, with a "topper skittle".

Still learning how to get those glitter toppers to apply evenly!

Somehow this black and white confetti combo reminds me of a composition book!

I am still deciding what I think about this color combo!

Teals galore

Starting a bingo card because I love this sub!

First submission: reflection.

I can't stop making skittles 😅

Also, always obsessed with teals.

This week, I did a stress skittle while trying to coordinate time-sensitive admin for closing on our house.

I had a foundational creme or jelly for each finger, then a topper (holo or flake) on each. Some of the color combos turned out a lot differently than I expected, even after checking the combos on my swatch sticks!

I redid 2 of the 5 color combos and it feels more harmonious. I still would've done my order of colors differently, but I resisted the urge to scrap all the fingers and redo them!

I am at least trying to keep these on for another few days!! My ADHD brain is kinda spiraling outta control right now and wants to redo my manis as soon as I finish them 🤪

I stress-painted my nails today while making multiple mega stressful calls, trying to buy a house.

Today's mani took a few unexpected turns. I'm warming up to it, lol.

Hi folks, recent nail polish enthusiast here. Looking for skittle mani inspo! I am a real beginner, so can't do any complicated nail art.

Posting a couple of recent manis for tax.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

I just very suddenly got into painting my own nails, and I'm having a blast.

I absolutely love looking at skittles manis, and even after quite a few google searches, I still need some good inspo pics to help me figure out how to select colors and how to arrange them.

Would love it if you could share pics!

Adding a couple of my recent manis for tax (still working on getting a steady hand!)
