31DC13 Day 2: Orange Nails

It's time for the second mani of the challenge and some orange nails!

I only had one orange polish among the ones that I haven't tried out yet, so it was quite an easy task to choose it as the base color for this mani. The polish was Misa Taking Chances, which I've actually worn already twice as a pedicure so it's not really an untried one, but I haven't yet shown it here or wore it on nails. I really loved the polish on my toes, but somehow it didn't look as good on my finger nails.. I don't really know why! Sooo, after wearing it a while alone, I decided to do something with it as I wasn't enjoying the color too much... As this was the second day of the challenge and I needed to have orange nails, I decided to add some more orange to the mani and did a saran wrap mani with Taking Chances as the base color and China Glaze Riveting on top.

I don't know if the combo of these two is really the best one out there, but at least the orange was now more my type of orange. The nails looked quite pale still with only the saran wrap, so I added some gold water decals and some rhinestones.

I'm not 100 percent convinced about this mani, eventhough I do love orange and Riveting is one of my all time favourite polishes! The combo of it and Taking Chances made them both look a bit weird... Oh well, at least I had an orange mani...

I also took picture of Misa Taking Chances alone so you could see it too:
It's really a gorgeous polish, so I'm not sure why I didn't enjoy it as manicure as much as I liked it as pedicure... Weird!

And then here's how my orange nails for the challenge looked two years ago:
I actually showed two 'looks' in my old post too, first I had this Zoya Tanzy alone and then I added some Kleancolor Chunky Holo Poppy over it:
