Accent nail! A new thing. Besides just a single nail with some rhinestones, what about a different color on that nail? Well, going with my love of teal & purple again but making it more obvious I went with this color scheme. The five rhinestones in the last polish didn't really work. That one rhinestone on the edge was catching on everything and it generally bugged me. I thought about fewer rhinestones. I layout all the rhinestones on the nail before painting and sticking just to see if I like it. Well, three solid purple ones just looked a little dull to me. What about purple ombre nails (wow, ombre is trending right now)? And with just three rhinestones, there is more room between and doesn't feel as heavy.
As much as I love this teal color, it is really calming yet cool (as in cold) at the same time, the formula is just off. It requires many many coat to get a solid nail. I think I had to do 5 coats to get the teal above. I know there are ways to thicken polish but I don't want to alter the color. So I just have to set more time aside when I want to use this color in the future.
OPI - Do You Lilac It
Essie - Turquoise & Caicos
What are your favorite color combos? Which finger do you like to use as your accent nail?
