A Neutral Skitlette

Hey guys! Sorry I had a little unplanned hiatus here for a few days haha. I hadn't done a full mani for an entire week, I was swatching polishes all week but I can't show you them for a few more days so I had nothing else to share! Haha. I did a quick mani yesterday so I'd have something to share today. :)

The other day, Marta from ChitChat Nails posted a how-to post on her famous Skitlette manis! I always adore her skitlettes and her choices are always really awesome so I was inspired to do a skitlette too. :) I'm not sure how well I chose my polishes but I hope you like it anyway, haha.
For my skitlette, I chose 3 polishes I wanted to use. Marta likes to think of it as 'dressing your nails'. Your "shirt" is a design/stamp/pattern, your "pants" are a creme shade, and your "accessories" are a glitter or texture! Instead of doing a design, however I used a glitter. I don't think it looks too over the top, though.
 On my thumb and pointer (my "pants"), I've used Essie's Chinchilly. A really nice taupe shade! I don't often wear shades like this but I adore this one! Next to the other brown colours in this mani it looks quite grey but in person it definitely looks more brown toned.
 The glitter on my middle and ring fingers (my "shirt" lol) is Femme Fatale Lacquer's (not to be confused with Aussie indie Femme Fatale Cosmetics) Lacey's Pumpkin Spice Latte. I wanted this polish for ages! It's named after Lacey from Lace & Lacquers. :) It's a nude crelly (I can't tell if it's more creamy or more jelly...) base with large brown hex glitters and small orange ones. The larger ones flash orange/bronze too, it's really pretty! I definitely really like this colour. It's neutral but the glitters make it fun.
And lastly on my pinky we have OPI's What Wizardry Is This from the Oz collection. This is my "accessories". :P I've used this polish a few times now and I adore it. This photo was taken after I'd had the polish on for about 20 minutes, so it wasn't 100% dry yet but you can see the texture.

So, I hope you all enjoyed this post! :) and have a great rest of your weekend!
