Week 21 of the Year of Polish challenge had the theme: Fruit Mani
I received some fimo fruit slices from a super neat friend of mine and had yet to use them so I decided to take this opportunity to try them out
First of all, I love these little slices. They are so tiny and cute! You can buy fimo-fruit by the stick and cut each slice yourself, or for a little more money, you can purchase them pre-sliced! You can find these on ebay as well as at Sally's
I started with a brightly colored drip mani, added some glitter, and found some contrasting fruits to stick on
Orly in Spark
China Glaze in Aqua Baby
Sally Hansen in Coral Reef
Orly in Green Apple
Color Club in Pucci-licious
Art Deco in Silver Glitter
Fimo fruit from Sally's
I opted against adding a topcoat over the fruit. First of all, I knew I would not be wearing it very long since I am behind on the challenge, but also because I think they look prettier when they are not completely flat against the nail.
However, their lack of flatness did become a problem. They kept getting stuck in my hair and while watching a movie, I did peel a few of them off... but I saved those and now I can reuse them! silver lining eh?
I still really like the way this looked. I would re-do this mani for a nice summer pool party or barbecue!
Does it bother you when things hang off of your nails?
Until next time ^_^
