January's Nails Challenge - Pantone Colors 2016

Did you miss some collaboration posts here? Well, here it is the first one for this year made together with the girls from The Polish Addict Group from Romania. Each Saturday we will post an interesting and creative nail art theme. The today's one is kind of easy, because we had to use this years Pantone colors, which are Rose Quartz and Serenity.

A few words about them: Rose Quartz and Serenity demonstrate an inherent balance between a warmer embracing rose tone and the cooler tranquil blue, reflecting connection and wellness as well as a soothing sense of order and peace.

I had to look up on my stash for these colors, for Rose Quartz the closest shade was the Moyra polish #401 Matte effect, which I totally forgot how runny and hard to work with it is and for Serenity, it was a little bit harder to find something similar because I don't have much blue shades in my collection. This is why I choose the oldest Golden Rose Paris #212, which came out a little bit to dark on my nails.

With these two polishes on three of my nails I made a gradient and on two of them I used some Born Pretty Store tip guides and made a triangle shape, which I separated with a thin silver holo line, made with Flormar. I added a glossy Moyra top coat as finish.
