Enchanted Forest

I really liked how the base for one of my Halloween-Skittles came out, so I decided to do a similar manicure on its own:

As base I used KIKO “Pearly Chocolate Noir”, unfortunately in this picture its amazing shimmer is only visible if you take a very close look. I will definitely use it again with less nail art on top, it is such a beauty. Application was perfect – as always with KIKO polishes – and it might qualify as one-coater.

For the nail art I took a small piece of sponge (regular kitchen sponge) and dabbed on China Glaze “Glittering Garland”, my all-time favourite glittery green, and p2 “tangerine twist” from their “summer attack” LE. In combination with the other colors it looks almost gold, although it is much more orange (see here).

And doesn’t it look like you’d imagined an enchanted forest in autumn? 😉
