We sequence in climbing. We study a climb bottom to top and draft out the moves before we do them.

I did not sequence this challenge and already used two of my favorite polishes: Nfu Oh 51 (linked here) and butter London Knackered (linked here)!

I could not decide between my remaining favorite so I used them all! Red Lights Ahead…Where? is such a favorite I am on my second bottle!

I hope you like my sponging! I added a couple of photos to capture all the nails.

I used Urban Decay Naked Smog as my base.

I tore pieces from a makeup sponge and used tweezers to detail with OPI Red Lights Ahead…Where?, Sephora by OPI Mr. Right Now and Color Club Almost Famous.

I love to bake. I love it but am not the biggest fan of eating baked goods. If I had to choose my favorite they would hands down be cookies! I specifically love chocolate chip cookies and M&M cookies.

I hope you like my cookies manicure for today’s prompt. I tried to go for a marbleized cookie dough batter kind of look!

I used 2 coats of Urban Decay Naked (from the Naked collection) as my base.

I marbled with Sephora by OPI 212-Sephora and OPI Pros & Bronze. I topped off with Milani Sugar Rush.

I stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM 317 and Milani Dark Coffee.

I am not going to lie…I am thrilled this month’s TPC colors are over. I do not know what it is but I had absolutely no creative juices with these colors and no matter what I did, the combination always looked wonky against my skin.

I hope you like my manicure this week!

I used 3 coats of Pop Beauty Pacific Hoot on my index and middle finger, 3 coats of Milani Colorful Coral on my ring finger and 3 coats of Urban Decay Toasted (from the Naked collection) on my pinky finger.

I distressed from the top and bottom with the two polishes I did not use on the base.

I have been having trouble with this month’s color trio. I tried water-marbling but the colors looked weird together so I tried a dry-marble instead. I ended up really liking the result.

I hope you do to!
