China Glaze Passion for Petals and Mimosa’s Before Mani’s
I’m back! Almost 100%…but not quite. Whatever is going around is brutal! It may take me a bit to get ramped up to speed – but I’ll do my best. My hubs thinks it’s hilarious that I’m still half incapacitated, yet I’m doing a mani and posting about it. So hilarious! Right?! No! Manis are serious business. But given my less than optimum self, today’s mani is super simple. I’ve used two more polishes from the China Glaze Spring 2013 Avant Garden Collection.
I started with two coats of Passion for Petals as the base. It looks mauve in a lot of promo shots, but it seems more like a dark coral on me. I taped diagonal tips in random sizes with random center points and polished a generous coat of Mimosa’s Before Mani’s, a brighter coral with some shimmer. You really have to enlarge the pics to catch any glimmer though.
I’m not a huge fan of coral, but I think this is a pretty combination and the polishes applied really well. What drives me crazy is the apostrophe in “Mimosa’s Before Mani,s“! Why? Oh why?
Disclosure: I have no material connection to any product used in this post.
Pretty polish, terrible name. I’m finally reading “Eats, Shoots & Leaves” so that apostrophe is unforgivable to me right now. Lol You’d love it if you haven’t already read it.
Like the combination
I love how you used these two colours together! I actually didn’t get these two polishes from the collection but your mani is tempting me to get them!!
Love these two colors together! It’s a subtle effect that looks great. :)
Stupid apostrophe! Eats, shoots and leaves is a great book by the way!
I love Coral! Coral is my all-around go-to color that always looks good on me! Love the mani too.
Absolutely beautiful as always! :)
Lovely! And yes, this combination is super pretty!
I’m with you on the apostrophe thing. Ugh! Good mani. Hope you feel better soon.
This is indeed an awesome combo <3.
Thanks, Deborah. I’m usually against anything coral right out of the gate…but they do make an awesome combo!
I love this! I love subtle designs :)
Ohh I’ve been hit by whatever it is too! I think I caught it from the people at work, because it seems to have struck us one by one.
Mani’s are definitely serious business! Love the slight contrast of colours.
