Oh, What A Night

Does that get The Four Seasons stuck in anybody else's head?

No?  I see.

After the trees were gone, I wanted to see what else I could come up with using those fall colors, so I cleaned off my striping brush, and set back to work.  I used OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons as a neutral base, then dropped dots of Zoya Cheryl, China Glaze Riveting, and China Glaze Lighthouse and attempted to swirl them together.

Now I realize that I spend more time than not griping about how stuff doesn't turn out, and any new skill takes time to master blah blah blah.

Frankly this stuff is so time intensive that it blows when I hate it at the end.  If you love it, then please! feel free to try it at home and make it gorgeous and send me the picture.  But I drank a gallon of haterade before the post, so that's what I'm sticking to, as far as how I feel about it.

This was after a few starting over acetone swipes, too.

Blargh.

When these colors look good together, they look GOOD.  But this is not one of those times.  I couldn't get the swirls right, so it ended up looking more like finger paint, than anything arty.  Also, be warned that the shimmer in Cheryl, while making it gorgeous, is a beast to get out.  Especially out of the over-acetoned skin I was working with, so I just quit.

I want to go back to this and see how it would look in a water marble, which I think would be flawless, but I erased this turkey combo pretty quickly after I took the pictures.
