This lovely harlequin pattern was lifted right from Chalkboard Nails, and all I did was flip it 'round and change up the colors a bit.
I'm really into this muted, faded-70s-basement palette. I just cannot get enough peach! Colors used here are my beloved Savina White Lavender as the base color, accented with Sally Hansen's Commander in Chic (slate brown), and First Kiss (that's the light coral). And, of course, lovely Revlon in Jaded, and Minted, (both of which I am LOVINGGGG!) as well as Make Mine Mango (dark coral.) Jaded is that oh-so-totally-not-Jade-colored chartreuse, and it is pretty much the shit. Almost neon without going whole hog, but still totally jarring and flashy. I needed one color to take my palette out of the safety zone! I think having one clashing color can really make the whole palette pop a bit more. Nothing worse than a mani design that ends up being a washout!
You can see the chartreuse at work here, totally punching up that minty green and playing off the blue tones, and brightening that darker coral, too.
I'm really into this design and this color palette, and I'm gonna have to just come out and say it - I think this one my be my favorite. Maybe my favorite ever. Basically I love this mani so much I want to marry it. MAYBE I WILL!
I looooove it! Great colors and design!
