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.

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!

Revlon French Mix All The Rage

Day 6 of the 30 Days of Untrieds Challenge! Day 6 is violet. For my birthday last month my Andy kindly took me shopping in Reading. Of course nail polish was at the top of my list. We went into Boots (which was pretty huge and amazing!) and I found an entire counter dedicated to Revlon nail polish – heaven! I saw the Revlon French Mix polishes and just had to buy one… I chose All The Rage, a green and a purple polish. I’ve always loved how bright green and purple look together so this one was perfect.

The basic idea of the French Mix polishes is that there are two polishes (each contained in a small bottle at either end of the stick) which can be used together to create an accent nail, and more importantly, an ‘alternative French Manicure’. This pushed all the right buttons for me and despite the rather hefty price tag (£7.99) and the rather small bottles I had to buy it, if only to see whether the idea was effective.
