31DC2013 Day 2 - Orange

Day 2 of the 31 Day Nail Art Challenge calls for an orange manicure and I couldn't help but use some of the Zoya beauties I was swatching last week. You'll definitely be seeing more of them this week...

For this manicure I started out with the beautiful orange PixieDust Dhara. I stamped the deign from Gals plate GA34 using Essence Stamp Me! White. As you can see it is really an amazing stamping white that I reach for time and time again. I just wish it came in a bigger bottle (as with most things from Essence)...

I added a square stud to each nail with superglue, since I don't want to use a topcoat over the PixieDust. The studs I used are 2mm gold studs from The Born Pretty store. They didn't provide quite the accent I was looking for so I painted them green using Zoya Giovanna. The brilliant idea to paint rhinestones with nail polish comes from Drama Queen Nails...

Since we are on the topic of orange polishes, this is a quick comparison of textured orange lacquers that I posted on Instagram recently and thought I would share it here as well. On a side note, come say 'hi' to me on Instagram... @WackyLaki! I'm having so much fun getting to know everyone, seeing their beautiful manicures and interacting in real time!

Thanks for looking!
