January's Nails Challenge - Pantone Colors

Hello everyone!

As you can see, I have joined a new challenge this month, one that is inspired by the month we're in. My original idea was to do some winter themed manicures this month, but Mădălina had some great ideas, as well, so, along with the girls from the TPA group we settled upon these themes:

And here are this week's nub nubs "dressed" in a heart pattern, using the Pantone Colors for 2016: Rose Quartz & Serenity. ^_^

As you know, each year Pantone choses one (or two) colors which will be the highlights of fashion that year. This time we have a very suave pink -Rose Quartz and a dreamy blue - Serenity. They both look great together and, since they are pastel colors, they look good in combinations with strong or neutral tones.

The nail polishes I used for this manicure are Essence The Gel 33 - Wild White Ways, Moyra Bubble Gum 628 Jelly Bean and  Farmasi 12, over which I applied a matting top coat.

I'm sorry for the bad quality of the pictures, my schedule was very chaotic this week so I couldn't take pictures during the day and I had to use my phone's camera to take some pictures at work, during my break. 

The little hearts were painted using a dotting tool: three tiny blobs of nail polish and bam! you have a heart. :D They were really fun to do, but time consuming.

In reality the colors look a lot more like the ones Pantone chose, but bad lighting kinda changed that. Oh well, I still hope you like the "design". ^_^

Here is the list of girls that participated in this week's challenge. Please take a look at their beautiful nails and tell them what you think!
