December came...and we reached the final episode of our Birthstone series. Once again I must thank
Ere K. for having this great idea and arranging the challenge!
This month's gem is turquoise, and this time I had no doubts: I had to try the water spotted I saw on Simona's blog
Light Your Nails.
When looking for inspiration I saw also some manicures that included gold, so I decided to try mine using a turquoise base (Orly Frisky) plus black (Orly Liquid Vinyl*) and gold (CND Vinylux Locket Love*). I know that my manicure is far from perfect, the black came out too "diffuse" and there is a huge gold spot on my ring finger...But I really loved my marbled nails. I found them so mesmerizing that I had to complete the manicure on my right hand, and add tons of top coat to make it last as long as possible :-)
BTW don't forget to take a look at our board, there's plenty of turquoises there...And thanks for reading, I really hope you enjoyed our gemstones series!
