Deborah Lippmann, freehand, Nail Art, Sephora by OPI, Serum No 5, sugar-spun

Jessica from Be Happy and Buy Polish is hosting a four-day nail challenge! (Facebook group is linked here). The first prompt is “Shades of Green”.

I love the Sugar-Spun technique. It is so much fun and happy. Pair those with bright greens and glitters and they make for a very happy Monica!

Enjoy!

 

ImageI started with 2 coats of Sephora by OPI I Come in Peas as my color base. (Teehee, I used CND green Stickey as my base coat!)

I added one coat of Deborah Lippmann’s Wicked One Short Day over my index, middle and pinky finger. 

I used a generous coat of Serum No 5 Forest Lights on my ring finger. 

I “sugar spun” with Sephora by OPI It’s Totally Karma.
