Inspired by the Spring 2013 Peter Som Custom Trio by Zoya

I was cruising Pinterest a while back and came across some pins promoting the Spring 2014 Peter Som custom trio with Zoya.  Featuring blue, green and a soft coral, it's a pretty color combo that I briefly considered purchasing from Zoya until I remembered that I'd recently bought a coral that was still in my untried pile of polishes.  Digging that out, I searched my stash for complementary colors and waited for inspiration to strike:

So what is that pattern on the accent nail....argyle?  For some reason I kept thinking in my head it was plaid, but nope, that's not right.  Well anyway, this was a fun little skittle mani to do and I was more or less pleased with the result.  I've only just recently started practicing freehand art with some el cheapo brushes I got at Marshall's and cut down to teeny-tiny sizes.  Some days the caffeine from my morning coffee lingers to the evenings, so my lines are a bit shaky, but overall I was happy with my first attempt at this design. 

A description of the polishes I used follows the jump, along with pics showing this mani in matte form and a rare sighting of my right hand....

Polishes used:
Blue - Sinful Colors Rain Storm
Coral - Sinful Colors Soul Mate
Green - Barielle Sweet Addiction
Nude (base on accent nail) - Zoya Shay
    ** Though I haven't done a full mani with it yet, I'm thinking Shay might just be the perfect matchy "mannequin hands" shade for my skin tone.

The next day, I decided to try out my new tiny bottle of Sally Girl matte top coat:

I think I liked this design better matted...what do you think?

Since I rarely put a design on my dominant hand, I'd just slapped a couple coats of Rain Storm on the right hand and called it a day.  When I added the matte top coat to my left hand though, I decided to play with my Color Club Snow-Flakes (matted the ring finger to see how it worked with the blue & flakie combo):

Since it was nighttime when I did these little experiments, the above photo was taken under a CFL bulb.  I really liked how it turned out and will definitely do a full mani with these polishes again soon!
