Hawaiian pineapple palm tree nail art in orange and black

Hi, today's nail art is done for a couple of nail art challenges on instagram. There's always a few nail art challenges going on and a fun way of making them is to combine the different themes. I choose to combine Hawaiian + Palm trees + pineapple + orange, all in one manicure since I figured that they suited each other.

So basically I did a gradient with yellow, light orange and darker orange, then neon yellow glitter on top. Then I freehanded the pineapples and palm trees on top. I also decided to frame the design with white, and then matte top coat on top. Not sure about the white frame though, what do you think?

Polishes used:
Dance Legend - matte top coat
Lavelle - 242
Essence - Have Fun
KIKO - 822
Essence - Polka Holga
R de L Young - White
R de L Young - Black

31DC2013 Day 21; Inspired by orange; orange fruit nail art

20 days have passed and the third and last part of the challenge starts. This section is called "inspired by.." and today it is "inspired by a color". My color of choice is orange.. which perhaps is the first thing one would think of but I really liked my idea so I went with it. I curious to see what you other did! ;)

Basically as you can see I went for my orange colored texture polish, which in my mind looked like orange peel and then I painted the orange wedge. Or well, I painted the fruit flesh first as a "half moon" and then the peel..you'll get it when you see the pictures. I don't think this is my best nail art ever, but no matter what, it is so fun to look at that I don't mind! Hope you like it too! :D

 I also realized that oranges isn't as orange as the nail polish, my nails looked more like mandarins! ;)

Polishes used;
