GOT Polish Challenge - Week 12 - Peach/Yellow - Gradient Cartoon Nails

Week 12 and the final one of this first GOT Golden Oldie Thursday Polish challenge over at Crumpet's Nail Tarts. This week the theme is Peach/Yellow.

I have a lot of orange polish but only a couple of peach colours, but they did not qualify as they are less than a year old.  So I opted to do a sponge gradient with yellow and an orange.  Both polishes are well over a year old. I got the yellow shade back in 2011 (see post here) worn only once. The orange one is even older worn only a few times, (here and here, oh and here).

I am sharing this manicure, but I was not at all happy with it.  It made my hands look awful and the nail shape was not made for the at all.  I hasten to say this came off within 24 hours and I also re-shaped my pointy nails.

I wore this for the weekend just gone.  I got this after having seen this shade on the beautiful blog by Erika here.  It looked just so sunny and summery, I had to have it.  However, I was a bit disappointed that it was not quite as bright as I thought I would be.  None-the-less I still love it.  So no loss there.  Here it is in all its glory.  I would certainly say this is as close to true colour.  I hope you like it too.

Then a day later it got a little jazzed up.  I used strips of sticky back plastic and put them on at different angles on each nail, and to be honest I am so very pleased with this design.

I ordered this yesterday after seeing Erika's manicure.  I just could not help myself!  This afternoon I got in from work and it was waiting for me.  I can't wait to put it on and maybe even try the manicure Erika has done, or something similar. This picture is pretty much true in colour.  In Erika's blog it looks much brighter and yellower (is that even a word?).  I will have to photo when on to see if the colour builds up.
