It’s downhill to the weekend folks! I hope you’re having a great week so far! The weather here has been cool and rainy and I really like it.
Today is the second topic of the ‘M.T.V’ challenge. If you’re not sure what I am talking about you can head over the my first post and read all about it. Have you decided to join us yet?
Todays topic is Orange & Stripes. Seems easy right? This was one topic I wasn’t over excited about and, well, let me show you my THIRD attempt at Orange & Stripes shall I?
I started off with 2 coats of Essence – Flashy Pumpkin. I then used striping tape and taped off my index and middle finger. I tried to make the the lines on the side of my index different lengths getting shorter closer to the tip. Well, once I added the Essence – Black is Back and removed the tape I realised it didn’t quite work out that way. I didn’t mind though. Like I said this was my third attempt with this topic.
I would usually show you my other attempts but the one I didn’t even finish. The other one I did when I still thought the topics of the challenge were going to be different and therefore it doesn’t quite fit into the theme anymore. That being said, I quite like this look. It isn’t super creative but I like it. Here are the colours I used today on their own. (2 coats each with no topcoat)
Essence – Flashy Pumpkin
Essence – Black is Back
What do you think of this? What would you have done for today’s topic? Have you decided to join us yet? If so, leave your link so I can link back to you in future posts as well. In the mean time go check out the other posts for todays topic.

Not a big fan of orange… But this is really gorgeous. I like the name of the Orange… Would be perfect for Halloween. 🙂
You did good man! I wouldn’t wear this myself (don’t have any orange either), but considering the topic I think you did a great job :). Now I want to try out my striping tape again…

Thanks so much Tyler! I can’t wait to see what you do for the rest of the challenge. I am glad you decided to join! 🙂
I like the name “Flashy Pumpkin,” haha. This is reminding me of Tony the Tiger (from the Frosted Flakes cereal box), for some reason!
