#31DC2013 31 Day Challenge - Orange with L'Oreal Boozy Brunch


I made it to day two!  That deserves a drink, donchya think?  And what's better than L'Oreal's Boozy Brunch, a bright orange cream that leans a bit crelly.  It makes me think bottomless mimosas, and Labor Day is the perfect day for a nice brunch with one of those.

For this mani I used three layers of Boozy Brunch because it applied a bit streaky with some bald patches.  It didn't even out really well either so a layer of NYC GCS was a must.  It seemed too plain jane on its own so I decided I'd try out freehanded leopard spots for the first time.  Why I did spots and not stripes, I don't know - orange begs for tiger stripes.  I used Jessica Smokey Feather for the silver dots and Wet 'n' Wild black cream for the outlines using a tiny dotting tool.

Seems like I still need a bit of practice with those leopard spots, but they were easiest enough to do that I don't mind practicing them in the future.  I really like the idea of unusual color combination to create the spots, and it provides a lot of opportunity for crossing off some untrieds on my list.  Do you have any tips for making foolproof leopard spots?
