Leaves Change: color blocking in manicure

Hi, my luvs!
Today I've got a bit inspiration for those of you, who gathered a substantial collection of nail varnishes and are desperate to put them all to a good use:))
I have recently hauled a ton of new nail polishes, that are all shinny and awesome.
The autumn is the perfect time for colorful collages and color blocking in general. Thus we gotta try some kaleidoscope like nails! I could do obvious oranges, wines and golds.
Nothing wrong with that, it is a classic and juicy color combo!
 Yet for the sake of showing you some alternatives, I went for dusty and muted natural shades that still  fall essentials, but are a bit more sophisticated and unexpected.
Here we go:
I used the same colors in reverse order on my other hands to add some variation and kaleidoscope-like appearance, when "talking" with my hands:)))

The nail polishes are China Glaze Kalahari Kiss from the Safari collection (did I mention I LOVE that collection?!:)) - awesome opaque dusty yellow with green-grey undertones;
Then English Rose by Rimmel - very unique shade of berry pink, that is cheerful, but not neon-like, not too pink, not too red, very tasteful and vivid color all in one. The only complaint I have is the longevity of Rimmel nail polishes on my nails - formula definitely needs some improvement on that account.
And the last one is Essence High Spirits - muted pealy green, which is darker than da bush by Essie. I think it is a versatile city green, which is very elegant in the office environment if you do love greens on your nails. Essence nail polishes are also prone to chipping off on the second day, so I can not recommend it full-heartedly on its own. The application consistency and color are gorgeous though!

I hope you liked this little manicure combo and will get inspired to play with the colors from your nail polish collection! Let me know, what combos you come up with!

Kisses, Maria "TwosRuse".
