This week's twinsie challenge entails us getting "marching orders" from another twinsie. The marching orders could be anything, nail art, based on a theme, anything. It's even more fun because none of the other twinsies know what we each person will be doing.
I was given my marching orders by Amanda. Here's what they were:
Your mani must include the following polishes:
1. A mainstream brand (OPI, Essie, ChG, etc.)2. A local brand (Mattese Elite, Brucci, Duri, etc.)3. An indie
To create a mani that's inspired by your favorite movie/television awards ceremony dress (Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys, etc.)
My first reaction: Whoa!!! Amanda really took advantage with this one, lol.
After understanding all of my orders, I first decided on a dress.
The three polishes I chose were Brucci Sophie's Sweet Pink (local), White Owl Lacquers Pumpkin Pasties (indie), and OPI Pirouette My Whistle (mainstream).
Sophie's Sweet Pink was one of the closest colors I had to the dress. It's a gorgeous pink with golden shimmer that gives it a salmon color. I decided to put it on four of my nails, then on my pinky I added Pumpkin Pasties as my accent. I chose Pumpkin Pasties because it's in the color family and has brown glitters in it, which reminds me of the bag Jessica is holding. I know it's a stretch, but that was my thought process, lol.

On my thumb, I did a gradient with Pirouette My Whistle to represent her necklace that was full of bling. Isn't it gorgeous?!!! I would be scared to walk around with that thing on my neck!Artificial Light

I really liked this mani a lot! It's not something I would have done if it weren't for this challenge, but it's a really fun look.Here are a few pics of Sophie's Sweet Pink on it's own with no top coat.

Isn't it pretty?!! It has a great formula too. It applied really easily and was opaque in two coats. I got it for $3.99 at Rite Aid.I'm definitely looking forward to what everyone was challenged to do this week. I'm sure it will be fun!
