Hi lovelies,
I haven’t been this happy to see a Friday in a long time! I know I am happy it’s weekend and I am sure you are too? Have any plans?
I don’t often do skittles. I mostly feel like I don’t have the creativity to do cohesive skittles that still look good as well. Then I had these 3 colours standing together and I suddenly realised they would look pretty well together. And here we are with a skittle 🙂
Let me show you.
I started off with 2 coats of Sinful Colors – Cool gray on my pinky and thumb and 2 coats of Sinful Colors – Sugar rush on my middle and index and left that to dry. I then used 2 coats of Sinful Colors – Ice dream on my ring finger. When everything was perfectly dry I added striping tape to my index finger and then applied Sinful Colors – Cool gray over that and removed the tape immediately. On my middle finger I used Sinful Colors – Cool gray and a dotting tool to make medium sized dots. I top coated everything and done. (On my thumb, which isn’t visible, I did dots over the grey with Sinful Colors – Sugar rush)
Here are the colours I used
Sinful Colors – Cool gray
This is 2 coats with no topcoat. This light grey creme has a beautiful formula and fantastic opacity. It’s not even streaky.
Sinful Colors – Ice dream
This is 2 coats with no topcoat. This is a silver glitter with light blue glitter. Looking at the photo I could’ve added a third coat. I get great coverage from this glitter. It is a little bit gritty when it dries on it’s own but with one coat of topcoat it is super smooth.
Sinful Colors – Sugar rush
This is 2 coats with no topcoat. A light blue creme with great formula and opacity.
What do you think of my skittle? Do you think it works?
I just wanted to give you a fair warning. It is about to get very busy here in OrdinaryMisfit land. I have decided to tackle the 31 day challenge this year. Yup that means a post every single day for 31 days! Here are the prompts if you are interested in joining in. If you just want to follow along to see what everyone creates you can follow the hashtag on all social media platforms. #31DC2014.
There there are still the Tuesday Stamping posts which will continue throughout. Every Tuesday will have 2 posts. I also have my birthday giveaway starting on Monday and an amazing book review coming up next week. So there will be a few days of double posts but you don’t mind do you?
Have a great weekend folks. It’s the last one for August. The new week brings with it a new month, a new season and a new challenge.
Thanks for reading,

LOVE this mani! Too pretty!
Also, some of the topics for the #31DC2014 look awesome… I don’t have the attention span to do the whole thing, but I may steal a topic or two.

LOVE your skittles! I know what you mean, though, about just not always having the ideas to put it all together, haha…but this worked perfectly!
The 31 day challenge! Good luck & I can’t wait to see what you come up with! 🙂

Thank you so much Lesley! Yes it’s something I struggle with and so envious of others’ skittles but I am going to try and make it work a bit more 🙂
Meep! Thank you so much. I’m nervous!!
