Happy Monday! So I keep hearing that the Patone Color for 2014 is Radiant Orchid. I’m not much of a purple fan but I did find a color that took me out of my comfort zone. I love how this color is a blend of purple and silver to give it a nice metallic look. Now since I told you all that I would be doing for a minute would be dots, I figured you would like them jazzed up a bit. Which brings us to my purple flowers…which are actually white! LOL But you get the picture!
I’ve learned that price means absolutely nothing when it comes to how a polish goes on and how long it lasts before it chips. I also love when I find fun, funky colors that are fairly cheap. While on one of my many trips to Target my 4-year-old actually picked out this color for me. It’s NYC In a New York Minute Color in Prince Street. Which of course made me think of Prince and Purple Rain! I LOVE me some Prince!
For the nail art I used my dotting tool for the flowers and a nail art pen for the swirls. I love how they came out and can’t wait to experiment with a more nail art from just making simple dots.
This week I’m hosting our weekly MANICure Monday link up so be sure to add your post! Also linking up this week to Glitter and Gloss and Well Shut the Front Door!
Very pretty, Alisha! I love anything purple, though. 🙂
Thank you Liz! I’m not much of a purple fan but it’s starting to grow on me.
I LOVE THIS ALISHA!! I wish I had the nails to paint. lol I have nubs and I may have one that will grow but thats it. Maybe one day I will let mine grow and try to join your manicure mondays..LOL
I just had to cut all mine down to nubs. I’d been neglecting them and a few week weak so I just whacked them all off. Sally’s Hansen’s hard as nails is the best polish for me and it’s cheap!
I can’t even believe you did those flowers by hand! They look like they were done by a stamper! AMAZING! And I LOVE this purple! Prince-esque for sure!! Ha! Also, your 4-year-old has fabulous taste. 😉
So I bought Stamps as a Christmas gift to myself Jennie and I SUCK at it. And not a little but a lot! haha So i’m going to stick to my free hand nail art for a while.
Cute! That purple looks great on you. I have a hard time finding purples I really love on me. I’ll have to see how this one looks.
I love this one and going to try and use it more. Even though I say that about all my polish smh
I love NYC they have great quality and low prices. I love that color. I need to learn how to make those design so I can be cute like you!
I don’t know why I’m always sleeping on those NYC colors. They are good and have a wide variety of colors and you can’t beat the price.
I really like this purple color. I’m also not really into purple but it really does look good on you and I like the designs as well.
Louida I’m trying to get outside my box and use colors I’d never use so you all will see lots of funky colors as the weather gets warmer. 😀
