Rainbow Nail Art

Day 9 of the 30 Days of Untrieds Challenge: rainbow nails. Something I’ve always wanted to try! I racked my brains for this one, trying to work out what the best way of doing it would be but my mind was drawing blank, so I just went ahead with a simple gradient.

Barry M Blueberry Gelly

Here I have ‘Blueberry Gelly Nail Paint 5’, one of the brand new Barry M Gelly Nail Paints due to be released on 26th September in Superdrug. The cost is £3.99 each.

I wanted to quickly point something out – the ‘Gelly’ title refers to the fact that the polishes have a ‘gel-effect‘ (think gel nails – Shellac, Axxium etc) in that they have a high gloss and they are very opaque – as opposed to being ‘jellies’ (glossy but sheer nail polish).

Also, for reference, the penultimate photo in this post shows accurately how glossy this polish is!

Abstract Nail Art

Today I have an ‘ultra-modern’ inspired creation as part of the ‘Three Nail Challenge‘,  devised by the lovely ladies at Mateji Ustvarjata. To be honest I don’t really know what qualifies as ultra-modern but colour blocking and abstract art came to mind for some reason, so that’s what happened!

Yellow Flowers Nail Art

Here is day 3 of the 30 Days of Untrieds Challenge (late, still! … I am trying to get back on track!) and day 3 is yellow! Yellow is not a colour I usually wear as it tends to look a little insipid on my skin tone but I really like this shade of yellow, and kept it on for 2 days in the end. It’s kind of an egg-yolky colour, which is my favourite yellow shade.
