Mixed Teal

Here is the OPI Ski Teal We Drop that I got from Adeline at Pretty Lil' Things.

2 coats of OPI Ski Teal We Drop

It was just too dark by itself for my tastes. I wanted to brighten it up, so I sponged on two other teal colors.
First up was China Glaze For Audrey. I just used a clean eyeshadow sponge applicator to randomly apply it.

Next up was China Glaze Shower Together, sponged on just as randomly.

A layer of topcoat evens out the bumps and makes it oh so glassy.

I like it much better now! I have to be in a gloomy mood to wear such a dark color by itself. And I also prefer these dark vampy colors for when my nails are super short. Of course when my nails are super short, I'm usually pretty gloomy for that very reason! Lol

  1. I really like the base color, but I have to be in the mood for dark colors. The sponging is lovely too!

  4. Ski Teal We Drop looks like denim!

    I like it how you sponged it. If you add some glitter or hexagons to it, it'll look like the universe ;)
