Summer Challenge Day 3: Yellow
Yellow nails. Ugh. Probably the biggest challenge
of them all, and the one that I was looking forward to the least. Thank god
it’s so early on in the challenge so we can get it over and done with.
I used OPI “Fiercely Fiona” which I received
in a swap, and is from the Shrek collection of spring 2010. It’s a polish that
doesn’t quite know if it wants to be yellow or green, in my opinion, and
really: It’s not my colour at all. But never mind, let’s see how it goes.
I applied three coats
of Fiercely Fiona, and I honestly didn't like it much :D It was
streaky, didn't cover very well and it took forever to dry.
Here’s how that looked without top coat:
And from another angle:
After that I decided to apply some glitter,
because there’s nothing like glitter to save a mani! I chose a yellow glitter
with stars from Trend Accessories. It’s a cheap polish and it smells really
weird, but it’s perfect for Fiona.
Here’s one thick coat over the yellow:
I didn’t go fishing for the stars, and that
means I ended up with none. But that’s alright – this mani didn’t last long
anyway! :)
I didn’t apply topcoat, because this glitter
is really shiny in itself, and it doesn’t dry up gritty at all. A good buy, if
you ask me!
You should check out these other Danish girls’ blogs to see what they
came up with for yellow nails:
Stay tuned the day after tomorrow - same bat time, same bat channel - for
green nails!
This combo looks very very pretty! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you like it! :)
DeleteLOL so fun to read, every word really reflects how much you hated this challenge day hahaha
ReplyDeleteBut for what it's worth, I think it looks great on you, and the layering is really sweet :)
I see a lot of difficult challenges ahead, but seriously, yellow!? The only thing that could have made it worse is if they had picked brown. I don't even own a brown polish :D
DeleteAnd thanks, by the way. It's very sweet of you! :)
DeleteOMG, I don't think I would have done this challenge at all, if we were to use brown! :-D
DeleteI would have had to mix a brown myself, because I surely wouldn't have bought one just for this challenge :D
DeleteThe glitter made huge difference. I haven't found the perfect yellow yet, but im still looking!
ReplyDeletenice color and looks very unique
ReplyDeleteThank you. Unique is a great word for it!
DeleteThis is a gorgeous colour! I'm loving the yellow glitter on top xx
ReplyDeleteOh... thank you so much!! Xx
DeleteYellow is a really difficult colour to wear well but at least you tried :-)
ReplyDeleteYes I did :) The challenge doesn't say anything about actually liking it :)
DeleteSuch a great yellow, love it!
ReplyDeleteOh thanks! It's nice that someone likes it :)
DeleteI really like that you put the glitter on top :-)
ReplyDeleteIf everything else fails, put glitter on it - that's my motto! :D
Deletehehe... I am not a big fan of yellow polish either. I do like the way it looks on you with the glitter on top! :D
ReplyDelete~ Yun

DeleteGORGEOUS!! i love this :D
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Thank you! :D
DeleteGreat color and I love the glittery top coat.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm one of the few who don't like yellow on me then :D
DeleteI have yellow polish on my post today! How cool is that? I am loving this mani with the sparkle? I love sparkle!
ReplyDeleteYes, you're slowly approaching to like glitter! :P Hahah!
