Day 2 - Orange - Maybelline Sweet Clementine

I'm back to shorty short nails for the 2nd day of the challenge. This time it was not at all intentional as I discovered that shopping can be dangerous to the nails (although fun!). I broke three of them in one day :(. One in actually twice, so they had to go...

For the orange I chose Maybelline Sweet Clementine. It took two coats to be opaque, but I applied three to even it out. Also, when applying the formula kept getting a bit stringy, similar to the way fast drying topcoats get stringy.

Just for fun I thought the orange needed little dizzy tiger foot prints which I really like :)



Then I added some tiger stripes to finish it off. I really can't decide if I like it better with or without the stripes. What do you think?


This is in full sunshine...

    I like this design, but I think it's better without stripes. (:

    Yup, I may have gone too far with the stripes, but it was fun to make :)
