NOTD: Essie Orange It’s Obvious (and Incredibly Cute Fimo Citrus Fruit Manicure!)

Something juicy and bright for the digits this week!

I love playing with fimo slices. They’re incredibly detailed and cute. And fruit-themed fimo slices ALWAYS put a smile on my face. You can find full uncut canes and a one-sided blade like the ones below on places like ebay, lightinthebox.com, tkbtrading.com, etc. This is the cheaper way to get fimo because you can easily get over a hundred slices per cane.

You can also purchase ready-cut fimo slices that come in jars or partitioned nail-art wheels. Those are more expensive, but you save the hassle of having to fiddle with a blade and wasting badly-cut slices.

Fun Color Combinations for Lips and Nails this Summer

—

I’m liking combinations of color that mix a bit of contrast with a bit of complementary tones. (E.g. bright pink with a pale lemon-yellow, or an acidic orange with a very white pink).

What sort of color combinations have you been liking? Matchy-matchy or full-on contrast?
