On Safari: Desert Sun

Hello again lovelies! Another day, another On Safari polish swatch.

This one is Desert Sun. I am amazed at the pictures I managed to get with my new camera. I'm sure my old camera would have turned this lovely shade some vastly different color, but I am beyond happy to say that my new camera managed to capture the shade nearly perfectly.

The color of Desert Sun is hard to categorize. It's a very muddy orange color, not unlike sun-baked clay. I think the closest shade I've found through Wikipedia is one of the many tawny shades. 

I decided to keep with the tribal theme. I'm thinking of carrying this theme through almost the entire collection seeing as these colors are just so perfect for tribal art. The exceptions would of course be those colors I don't have (yet) and the glitters.

Desert Sun was so much better than I expected and it looked wonderful with this tribal design; I didn't want to take it off! When I first showed interest in this color it was simply as a base for the glitters of this collection, but I see now that it can be so much more!

Earth Day

Hello, my lovelies! I'm getting this post out a bit later than I was hoping. I went to the circus with family yesterday and overslept this morning. I woke up to a rainy, cloudy, just plain yucky day so pictures took longer too. However, I have pictures of my circus nails for tomorrow to look forward to. Yay!

For today though, it's Earth Day nails. I had so many ideas for this design but then I stumbled across the Earth Day Network Philippines 2011 logo and it was perfect. 

It combined everything I thought of when I thought of Earth Day. The sun, the trees, the water, and the air. I changed the design very slightly slightly to make it work on my nails.

Cloud nails were something I've been dreaming of doing, and I'm happy I finally got my chance. Of course, I used my new favorite color for the sky: I Need a Refresh-Mint. You guys are probably getting sick of it!

I also used China Glaze, Blue Year's Eve. I use this whenever I need water. The shimmer floating in the sea of gleaming blue just screams water to me, like a deep refreshing pool of water. ?


Did you gals do anything special for Earth Day? Paint your nails? Plant a tree? Hold a fundraiser?
