31 Day Challenge: Day 2

Hi everyone!
Day 2 is Orange Nails.
You may know this already - orange is my least favorite color to wear on my nails. So I'm glad we are getting the orange day done with in the beginning of the challenge!

The polish I'm going to show you today is the only orange polish I actually bought by itself. (All the others I have came in sets - if they weren't in the sets, I wouldn't have bought them!)
I bought this almost 2 years ago now when I was just getting intense about nail polish and I wanted every color possible.


This is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Sun Kissed.


As far as orange goes, I just don't like wearing it!


This is 3 coats of color for perfect opacity.

I like orange when it is with other colors, though. Like the nails I did in my gradient zebra tutorial!


Yesterday I showed you my red nails with my red walls, so here are my orange nails with my orange sneakers! I'll try to show you some matching color things every day this week!

I wanted to add something on top of this color to try and like it a bit more, so I went with Kleancolor Mix Signal.


But the glitter ended up looking yellow over the orange, and yellow is another color I don't love on my nails!


So this was a big fail, and I took it off!

Tomorrow's theme is yellow which as I said, I don't love either. But then, after that - all the colors I love!
Have a great day guys!

    Orange looks good on you! I like the corresponding coloured item with your mani, great idea.

    Where did you get your Kleancolor???

    I like this combo, but I'm with you - I don't like orange polish much & The only orange I have is Sun Kissed. I only use it for nail art and things like that.
