Crumpet's Nail Tarts Tri Polish Challenge - August Day 1!

Hello everyone! Another month has passed and we're back with another installment of the Tri Polish Challenge. The three colours for this month are red, yellow and green. Eeek! When I first saw this wasn't at all inspired, but as I looked through my collection a few ideas started to form! 

The polishes I have chosen are Rimmel Sunshine, Ciate Mistress and Barry M Gelly Key Lime.

I've started this month's set of four manicures with a floral. I started with a black base and painted on a floral design in white (so that my colours would stand out over the black). Here's how it looked at this stage of the process: 

I then added in the Key Lime for the leaves (with some allowed LA Colors Solar Gold for contrast, as I usually use several greens for any leaves), then dotted on the Sunshine and Mistress to form the chrysanthemum-like flowers and finished off, as always, with Seche Vite.

I would've loved to have been able to add more detail to the leaves, but didn't want to risk going back in with the black, and the allowable extra colours didn't leave me a lot of scope. However, I love how these turned out and really enjoyed working with the black background instead of a lighter one that I would normally go for.

I'll be back on Thursday with August's Chapter 2. In the meantime, take a look at everyone else's fabulous red, yellow and green combos! :)
