I wanted to do an all-orange manicure, but despite all the photos I had seen of Orly’s Crush on You look nice and opaque, it was still translucent even after two thick coats. I simply refuse to do three. As if this wasn’t enough, the polish just refused to go on right, spilling everywhere, and when I thought I had finally tamed it … I’d swipe my fingers against something. Not a good nail day. After much frustration and removing an almost finished manicure, the compromise is this:

The base is Orly Mint Mojito (green) and Orly Crush on You (orange). The pattern was made with Konad image disk m64 and special princess polish in coral blue. The little beetle is from Konad image disk co1 and made with black special polish.
