Today's theme was to post a skittle manicure. For those who aren't familiar with this term, a skittle mani is when you have a different polish color on each nail. This was my first time doing one of these. While I love the look, it is way out of my comfort zone to have a different color on each nail. For me, it's one color for my manicure. I'll throw in an accent nail, sure, but that's pretty much the extreme of it. Also, a skittle mani is not very appropriate for my job.
On to the mani! Here's a pic of the polishes I used:

Here's how the mani turned out:

I really like the way this mani turned out. It definitely put me in a fun mood.
What do you guys think? Have you done a skittle mani before?
Don't forget to check out my twinsies!! I'm looking forward to seeing what colors they chose.

I haven't tried a skittles manicure but have enjoyed the gradient/ombré look. Maybe that would be a more subtle shift that you would like too!?
Glad you like it Marta!! You're right! Ombres make me more comfortable, lol! I liked this though.
