Pick-N-Mix #4-Yves Saint Laurent's Russian Collection-Fall 1976

We are are at week four of the "52 Week Pick And Mix" nail challenge. The prompts this time around were The 70's and/or grey with color. I only went with one of the prompts and chose "The 70's".

Yves Saint Laurent's 1976 Fall Russian collection was my inspiration. My design is taken from a beautiful paisley shawl/scarf from that collection.

The Polish Lineup

My bright and neon polishes tend to be very economical. L.A Color Crazes run $.99 and Wet N Wild is usually $1.88.


From Left to Right:
  •  L.A. Color Craze's Reckless
  • Wet N Wild's Black Light Party
  • Wet N Wild's Tulip Time
  • Pritti NYC's Empress Tree
  • Wet N Wild's Limelight
  • China Glaze's Be More Pacific
  • Wet N Wild's Club Havana
  • L.A. Color's  Splat!
  • Orly's Fancy Fuchsia   




To find specific designs, I used a simplified nail shaped view finder.
