Something oriental

 When I first saw this design, it reminded me of something oriental...

You know like a chinese or japanese lantern,
those that ancient chinese/japanese used to carry around at night for light?

Of course some oriental colour was chosen :)

Well gold was the quintessential eastern emperor colour but somehow fine nail designs like this one
(note the fine lines etc) don't show well on a shiny base... see next post for what I mean.

So i went for the next best thing! Yellow!

I used:

Base: OPI The IT colour (I think this is my favorite yellow)

Lantern: Bundle Monster plate BM202, Special red polish

So festive! In the Chinese New Year kind of way.
