I think I know why I've been completely obsessed with mix and matching my manis recently. I realised it's just an excuse for every nail to be an accent nail! I like to just paint on a base colour and rummage through my supplies until I get ideas. Today's center piece is Cult Nails Vicious which is one of my absolute favourite purple polishes.
Top to bottom:
Holographic Glequins from Born Pretty Store
Max Factor Fantasy Fire
Gradient Nail with A-England Princess Tears (tutorial here)
Double french tip with GOSH Metallic Purple
Here's a close up of the Max Factor Fantasy Fire with the light coming from two different angles. You can see the way it flashes from gold-red to copper-green. Gooorgeous!
Here's my best Chalkboard Nails pose! Can I pull it off with Sarah's prowess or shall I stick to the bottle poses?

ReplyDeleteI love purples, so i really love your mani. I specially like the gradation one, great combination
ReplyDeleteStunning mani! I love the 'many' accent nail look :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a great combination of different awesome manicures and I love it ;)

ReplyDeleteI love skittle mani's like this!
ReplyDeleteNice :)
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful. I *love* the accent nail, with the gradient. :)
ReplyDeleteI like this manicure so much! And your gradients are the best, I love them especialy with holo bases, because I feel that transition between colors is least obvious this way. I should try this!! =)
ReplyDeleteOh, and I prefer bottle pose shots, because this way I can see how bottle of polish looks like as well. Otherwise I feel like something is missing. :)
Ho-Lay Shi- This is absolutely stunning. I love the gradient the most, I think, but each nail is a work of art!
ReplyDeleteLove this mani! Got my halo glequins yesterday in the mail and tried them out as a glequin nail rim, and they are fab!

ReplyDeleteI like your bottlepicture better, you always have soo beautiful pictures :) And I envy your gradients, havn´t got them so well, yet ;)

ReplyDeleteGreat nailart. You have beautiful nails ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the double french!!! Been trying out gradients myself lately, but couldn't quite get the hang of it. Next time I'm SO trying to do it your way, thanks for the tutorial! :)

Argh such a fab colour. I'm just getting in to one accent nail manis...next step has to be double accents ha. I really want to try a gradient but I am a little scared yet.
ReplyDeleteawesome mix n match xx
ReplyDeletelove your vicious skittle *.*
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love purple! Pulled it off(:
ReplyDeleteI realy love your gradient nails! They are just amazing!
ReplyDeleteTotal swoon, Sammy! Every nail really would make a fantastic accent on its own, but they all go together gorgeously without being overly "matched". Beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I love how they're all different, but tied together. A fresh way to do things, since everyone does the one accent nail now. I'll have to try something like this with my own polishes! thanks for the inspiration. =)
ReplyDeleteAll nails are gorgeous, but I love love love that gradient!
ReplyDeleteLove your double french tip!
ReplyDeleteStunning, purple heaven!
ReplyDeleteLove the Fantasy Fire nail! You really captured the red in it!
