Welcome to day Five of the Challenge! Today's challenge called for Blue nails. I really had a hard time choosing my color and what exactly I wanted to do with the color Blue because I REALLY love Blue. I finally settled on one of my very first Orly purchases and a color I have not featured on LTHP since like September of last year... I hope you guys like this as much as I do. This is probably my favorite look so far!
So for this look I started with Three coats of Orly's Blue Collar. Then using two designs from Bundle Monster plate BM212 and China Glaze Little Drummer Boy I stamped the cute designs on my nails. For a finishing touch I went back and filled in the dots with Zoya Tallulah, Jo and Bettina's Gems Zircon. To fill in the peacock feathers I used a very, very fine brush I found at Sally's and Zoya Tallulah and Jo. I am in love with this look!
Here is a swatch of the amazing Blue Collar. I love everything about this Blue. It's a vibrant sky Blue but it has just a slight hint of dustiness to it. IDK.. There is something unique about this color and I can't quite put my finger on it. This color has an amazing creamy formula. For this mani I did Three thin coats of color.
Now... to get through my Purple stash for tomorrow's challenge!

So while it may not be "Sea Spray" ;) I don't mind spending some time on 'land'... really digging these peacock nails and I like what you did with the accent nail!
