Mix It Up: Pinks and Oranges

Recently I have been finding more and more inspiration on Pinterest. Seeing new designs and color combinations has given me the courage to try wearing nail polish in new ways. This picture from New York Magazine was the inspiration behind this look!

I've worn a different nail polish on each finger (here and here) but both those looks are based on playing with the intensity of the shade. Instead of changing intensity, this look is based around shifting the hue ever so slightly while keeping the saturation and nail polish finish the same (Style Wars is a jelly but you get the idea!)

I chose colors in the warm pink to reddish orange range. The polishes used are: China Glaze Dance Baby (L thumb), China Glaze Style Wars (R thumb), Essie Olé Caliente (L ring, R pinky), Maybelline Pink Crush (L pinky, R pointer), OPI Charged Up Cherry (L pointer, R middle), and OPI Shorts Story (L middle, R ring). I decided to mix-up the colors but you could also wear them in "hue order" if you so wish :)

Pointer to ring: OPI Charged Up Cherry, OPI Shorts Story, Essie Olé Caliente, Maybelline Pink Crush

I realized after that China Glaze Sugar High would have been a better polish to use in place of OPI Shorts Story. Sugar High has peachy/coral tones that would have fit perfectly!

Even if you are wearing a different nail polish on each nail, keeping the finish and intensity of the color the same ties this look together. This mix-up mani is fun and wearable, and perfect for the spring and summer!
