52 Week Challenge - Mosaic or Stained Glass / Pink and Orange








Mosaic or stained glass and pink plus orange are this week's themes for the 52 week challenge. As I don't own any orange polishes, I chose to try a mosaic mani using three holo shades of pink/red.




This mani took some preparation. I brushed ILNP Very Ornamental, a England Her Rose Adagio and Colors By Llarowe Courage, Brains, Heart on a plastic bag and let them dry completely. Then I peeled the color patches off and cut them into pieces. I polished my nails black (one coat of aEngland Camelot) and placed the polish pieces with the help of a dotting tool directly on the wet polish. One coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top kept the pink pieces in place.

    1. Thank you Jessie! The mani itself wasn't really time consuming, I just had to remember to start it two days early ;-)
