Lattice and Roses


Hello, everyone!
If this is your "Back to School" week, I hope it's going well.  As for me, things have been a little hectic and I'm still wearing a peeling and cracking mani from (gasp!) last week! I wanted to take a moment to share this design with you because - amazingly - I did NOT use Essie Fiji as a base (what?).

I LOVE Essie Fiji.  It's a sweet, pale pink that I use all the time.  I've never been fond of the application of Essie Fiji, but the light color and opacity has made it a favorite.  When I saw Sinful Easy Going, I thought I might be able to add a little variety to my pale pinks.

For this design, I used Easy Going and stampepd it with Orly Mind's Eye using Pueen 22.  I was going for a softer, vintage rose look when I added Pure Ice Love and Wet N Wild Lavender Creme.  They came out a little more "impressionist" than "vintage", but I liked the overall effect.


Well, Konaddicts - what do you think about this one?  Are there other pale pinks that you'd recommend?

So so cute! I like OPI Mod about you. It has horrible application as well but is so lovely on the nails... you will become obsessed!

Thanks! Your post on Nude Nails, btw, prompted me to go buy NYC Fashion Safari - a color I LOVE!
