Well hello other yellow I own...figures you'd turn up in Hubby's Picks (HP12)

I own precisely two yellows. You've seen one in many nail arts since it's nice and pigmented and just a good, medium all purpose yellow. This one I forgot about. It was the first yellow I owned and it was a, "I'm a new addict who has to have some of every color in her collection" purchase. Lesson learned.
 
Just as a refresher the choices this week. An array of interesting for sure *narrowed eyes*
This is what I pulled off...and I somehow like this yellow suddenly although it takes FOUR coats to full opacity. SHEESH!
Ooooh ahhhhh....see how I tied the colors together using Color Club Nouveau Vintage there? (Like a boss).
I'm still getting a handle on my striping brushes. I read on another blog (which escapes memory at the moment!) that laying the brush on the nail and then moving your finger creates a nice, straight line. Only problem is when you are working with cheap, sheer polishes (thanks hubby!).

I have another manicure coming up soon for the 5K I'm running this weekend! Have a great day everyone <3

    I'm not a yellow fan either, but these are super cute!

      Thanks so much! I'm learning that yellow CAN be acceptable in some cases. It seems to just depend on how it's worked with...on it's own though *shudders*

    This is just so lovely! I feel better just having seen this mani. :D And yeah... if you ever come across a yellow that's not streaky, baldy, patchy and just plain horribad, PLEASE share!

      Alright - I don't know if you get updates via email on here but honestly the yellow I use the most is Zoya Creamy and I've heard that Zoya Pippa is just as good and it's solid. No balding or patches from it. I think yellow is just one of those ones you HAVE to go more spendy on to get a good one. Best to you!

    Is using a white base so you need fewer coats of yellow to make it opaque quickly not allowed?

      For this I can ONLY use what he gives me so he picks difficult ones on purpose. I was definitely wanting to reach for my white on this one...but I just couldn't bring myself to cheat.

    Love this combination, too! I could never master the wispy stripes, they always look funny when I do them - kudos :)
