Tri Polish Challenge: Foaming Sea and Flip Flops

Bright summery trend continues here with the Tri Polish Challenge. The weather has been really inspiring here for that kind of manicures - plus what else could I do with three bright neon polishes :)
 The base in this manicure is China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise, except on the ring finger where I used Sinful Colors Cream Pink. Over the turquoise I did a drag marble using white (Wild and Crazy Montana) and turquoise.
 To compliment the beachy look I added some stamped flip flops with BM 309 and Konad white. To get to use all of the challenge polsihes (although it isn't required in the challenge), I coloured some of the flip flops with ChG Papaya punch.
This is one of the "new" Bundle Monster plates I hadn't used before. Why oh why?? Now that I peeled the plastic off and can really see the patterns, I want to stamp each and every one of them! I need to get my act together and use all the plates in this series soon anyway, because I've made a promise I'll only order a new set of plates when I've used all I already own at least once. Do you ever make these kinds of "promises to self"? Do they work for you?
Now let's have a look at the other participants of this challenge:

  1. I don't stamp, but I do very nearly the same thing with new polishes. I have a bookshelf next to my desk where my polishes live, but new ones tend to sit on my desk (right under/in front of my computer monitor ;) until they get used. Untried polishes don't stay that way for long, because they're right there, taunting me, and when I'm deciding what to do for a new manicure, I tend to be looking at inspiration pics with those bottles right there staring at me, going "Oooh you could use me in that one!!" ;)

    1. :D That's how my polishes behave, too!! I've got a separate box for untrieds, where they all go "pick me!!! pick me!!!" When I'm trying to find a stylish colour combo. That's why my manicures often end up a little crazy - because of those noisy little bottles.. :)
