Day 16 - Tribal

So we're passed the middle and I had another mani I needed to re-do twice. What will happen when I get to the real hard ones like Water Marble? So day 16 of the 30 Days of Untried Challenge requires me to do another Tribal design. This time I had no problem picking the colors. I knew exactly how I wanted them to be: My base color is Bourjois - Tangerine Fatal, a pretty coral color that could have been be pure perfection . It has the exact mix of pink and orange to create a gorgeous coral shade. It has a glossy creamy finish and it looks very pretty on the nails. Alas it is too thin. What you see here are four coats, and I can tell you that there is still some VNL under strong light.

I then drew my patterns using Nails Inc Henrietta Street, a deep wine red cream that I would have to try as a full mani soon. I needed a couple complimentary colors and I picked Barielle Swizzle Stix - a sky blue creme with hints of turquoise and Bourjois - Jaune Trendy that you already saw in this challenge.

One major mistake I did here was painting my pattern directly on my nail instead of planning ahead and get the pattern tested on a paper or my computer. So my end result is not accurate, colors are blending at some areas and in general I feel I could have make this one better. Especially since I had my experience with such pattern before. But despite all the wrong points, I do like this mani. I love the color combo and... oh well, so my pattern is not perfect. Thank god other tribes don't have to recognize me based on it...
