Shirt-Inspired Skittlette

Nothing To Disclose

Happy Sunday!! :) I hope your weekend is going well! Yesterday we had a tiny party for my daughter, who turned 7-going-on-20! She doesn't like having "Happy Birthday" sung to her and doesn't really like being the center of attention, so we didn't do anything big :P We did cake and ice cream and presents.. she got a lot of Monster High stuff, including the high school :)

I've been wanting to go through my polish and wear more than 1 or 2 colors at a time, just so I can justify to myself (and hubby?) why I need so much polish, LOL :D

I've been reading a lot of posts by Marta at ChitChat Nails and am in love with the skittlette look she has perfected. If you don't know who Marta is.. have you been living under a rock?? Just kidding!! Seriously, her nails are gorgeous, she comes up with the most beautiful manicures, and her photos are just amazing! Definitely check her out! :)

I've been feeling really uninspired lately, in terms of nail art, so I looked around my room for some inspiration. Then my gaze fell on a shirt that's been hanging in my closet since I bought it, which has been for about a year now!

I decided I wanted to do saran wrap nails, but I only wanted to have them as an accent. I used L'Oreal Silver Star (which is my favorite silver foil polish, but a pain to clean up!), Sinful Colors Tempest, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls (base color for saran wrap nails), Sinful Colors Why Not, and Zoya Suri.



I loved this so much, I kept it on for almost a week! (Pardon the tip wear!)



And the shirt that inspired it all!



What do you think? :D Have you tried the skittlette mani? If not, will you?

Have a great rest of the day!! :D
