365 polish for a year challenge: day 286 & 287

Hey everyone! This is going to be a super quick post. I've been feeling under the weather for the past few days. I caught a cold somewhere and I've been feeling very meh. I did have a chance to do my nails yesterday and today to cheer myself up a bit. I've also been enjoying naps, tea and chicken noodle soup. Please forgive me for the short update, but my bed is calling me, and I need to answer that call soon ;D

Brand: Wet N' Wild

Name: Sugar Coat

coats:2

pigment:a light ballet pink

price: $1.99

 A simple and very light pink. Looks nude like this, but once I started sponging the color with others it showed that it was just a very very light pink. I wanted this base color to show off an Easter/Spring manicure. I had something in mind that came out very nicely.

I forgot to take a photo with just the gradient/ombre nail with my camera. If you want to see it check out my instagram page  here. I sponged on different pastel colors on the the tips and then used Mash plate 45 with a flower design on all of my nails to match the pastel colors with a brighter polish. I think this looks came out beautifully and so playful!

Brand: Confetti

Name:  Bayou Blue

coats:2

pigment:a bright sky blue

price: $1.99

 Here we have a beautiful sky blue polish. I do like Confetti polish, I just wish they released more colors to their line. I have a few limited edition glitter polishes, but have not seen anything new from them since Christmas.

To add a bit of extra fun to this polish I decided to use a nail foil called Opal. This has a beautiful opal like effect over the nail. My only complaint is that you can see that it looks like a plastic overlay, even with the glue and a topcoat to seal it. I think it would beautiful in the sun, so I might give that foil one more go. I'm off to make some tea and grab that nap now!
