The NCC presents "Untrieds" - A Strawberry Skittlette

Hello everyone! I've been meaning to paint this for the longest time, but I didn't have the right red glitter. Well, now I do! My glitter polish queen (Lyka-Ann from L-A Glitter Nails) had a sale that I took FULL advantage of, and when this little beauty arrived, I knew it was exactly what I needed.

I started with a white base topped with Ciate Angel Wings for a bit of shimmer. I then painted my ring finger with Color Club Sultry Diva and added dots of L-A Glitter Nails Strawberry to my middle and index finger. FOr the thumbs, I painted the strawberry shape in with the Strawberry glitter, added the leaves with Sinful Colors Exotic Green and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Emerald City, and used Sultry Dive to add the pips. I finished with Seche Vite.





I am so happy that I finally got the chance to paint this idea, and as it heavily features an untried polish it works for the Nail Challenge Collaborative's March theme, the timing couldn't have worked out better :)

I will have two more NCC manis for you this month and have managed to acquire some new untrieds (amazing what you can justify to yourself when "Untrieds" is your theme for the month lol!). In the meantime, check out everyone else's fab nails by following the links below :)
