Hello lovelies! Just a quick post from me since I had intended to be in bed hours ago (though such is the case more or less every night, haha). I was actually in two minds about whether or not to post these at all - although I really like them in person, I'm not entirely happy with how the photos turned out. You're getting them anyway!
I was rather so excited to come across the Color Club Fiesta Collection in TK Maxx last week - other people always seem to find bargains there but this was my first, which made it kind of irresistible...though the colours are nice too, haha. This design made use of Endless Summer - blue, Sunrise Canyon - chartreuse (or at least, that's what I would call it) and Wild Cactus - green. These pictures aren't perfectly colour-accurate, to my eye: I'd say Endless Summer is a touch darker and bolder (I found it to dry noticeably darker than the bottle colour, which was disappointing, though it's still nice) and Wild Cactus a bit deeper/greener and less teal-y.
The idea for the leafy nails popped into my head whilst watching this MrCandiipants tutorial - although I'm not sure if it will be obvious why... Of course, I couldn't do without an accent nail or two and flowers seemed the natural accompaniment. Originally, I had used the pink polish in the same collection (Flamingo) for the flowers on a base of Endless Summer, but I took those off and much prefer them this way!
I enjoy the fun, summery vibe I get from these, despite the fact that our weather remains rather...Scottish. What do you think? Do you feel my viiibe?! Haha. This post was definitely longer than I intended... Good night!
P.S. Yep, changed my nail shape again. I am fickle.
