This Wednesday the theme is Candy/Sweets. I had a bunch of ideas, but I ended up back in my comfort zone – freehand colour blocking with cremes. Sorry if you’re sick of these! I’ll be more adventurous next time.
Now, I’ll be the first to admit that I hate liquorice. Hate it. But when I was a kid, these fluoro-bright neon cubes of liquorice would always tempt me, and I’d try to eat only the coloured bits, or just gulp the whole thing down. It always ended in sadness – aniseed-flavoured sadness. Why you gotta look so good, liquorice allsorts?
Colours used: Nicole by OPI City-Pretty Rose, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Sun Kissed, Rimmel Green Grass, ulta3 Lily White, Spring Blossom and Black Satin.
Pretty Purple Polish – Hooked! – Maria’s Nail Art – Polished Genius – Nails by Ms. Lizard – Swaafie – Unnaked Nails – Nail & Polish – Beauty Gnome
Even if I hadn’t know this weeks theme, I instantly would have know that this was “lakrids konfekt” as it’s called in Danish, brilliant colors!
I wish they tasted better! 🙁 They look like they should be fruit-flavoured, such disappointment…
I almost did this too! haha. It’s beautiful 🙂
Great minds think alike 😉
Hooked did the same one! i love how bright and bold and fun this mani is!
We’ve had similar ideas for a few Artsy Wednesdays, I think the simplest explanation is that we’re both geniuses! 😛 Bold is awesome, I’m definitely a bold graphics girl!
Ooooo…very cute!!
Thank you! 🙂
you captured those sweets very well, super cute mani
Thanks! The sweets did all the work for me, I think 🙂
Beautiful mani! 😀
Thanks! 🙂
Hahah I love liqcuorice and your nails look delish 🙂
I honestly have no idea why I hate liquorice so much… I eat thousand-year eggs, for heaven’s sake! 😛
Very cute, you know I love the bright colours 🙂
How can anyone not love brights? 😀 Instant cheer!
So cute! I hate licorice too, but love the look of these. Showed them to my boyfriend, who is a massive licorice-fiend, and he said they made him hungry! Haha
Mission accomplished! 😛
Perfect match! I love licorice but I’ve never tried these…they look good
They look amazing, don’t they? I’m such a sucker for artificial colours!
that really is life like! fab! xx
Haha thanks! 🙂
i never tried licorice but this inspired mani looks great
I think it’s a love-it-or-hate-it kind of flavour… aniseed and fennel have the same taste, I say BLECH!
very pretty colors!
Thank you! 🙂
I actually like liquorice I have no idea why. I even liked it as a kid. Your liquorice allsorts nail look delicious! 🙂
