NOTD: Two toned orange and pink nails


I felt like deviating from my usual pink nails and went for something different.


I used two coats of Barry M's Pink Flamingo as a base and added a diagonal stripe of Rimmel's Apricot Punch with the help of scotch tape as a guide. Pink Flamingo is a neon pink and the brightest one I own. Opaque in two coats and great consistency so no complaints from me. Apricot Punch could be one of my favourite colour polishes if it wasn't part of the fruity scent range. The colour is great but the apricot scent lasts for ages, even with a top coat and it was starting to annoy me.

Despite this one niggle, I like how it turned out even if the edges are a bit wobbly. Didn't realise orange and pink go so well together!

  7. I love this! I know I couldn't do it free hand because my edges would turn out more than a bit wobbly, but maybe with a bit of tape to mark the edges I could do this. Love it! Here's my take on multi-colored nails:

    And I was just saying the other day how well pink and orange go together!
