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.

Well  that is it for this nail adventure. And until the next one, take care..............Terri

    I love what you chose for this challenge. Very colorful and quite busy for what I'm used to from you :D
    However it turned out great and would go perfect with that scarf. You really did very well on this!

    It is very different isn't it. But I just had to do something like this challenge thing. I was getting dissatisfied with the blogging and needed something to change. So I am going to give this 52 week challenge a go and then see how I feel when it is over. I do love the experimenting on the smaller canvas. I'm taking a silk painting class at the moment and was surprised by the choice of color combinations I have been choosing. I think it is because of the nails that I am getting a tad more gutsy with my color theory.......possibly {:-)

    Thank You. You know, I got very overlooked on "The Crumpet's" Facebook group. I just don't think people got it. You and a few others that I respect do and that makes me feel really good about it.
