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.

Topshop Hypnotic
Day 8 of the 30 Days of Untrieds Challenge: metallic. To be honest I’m not really sure what qualifies as metallic as I’ve always referred to ‘metallic’ (in terms of car paint… lol) polishes as ‘shimmers’. So I decided that this one might just do for a metallic mani, but I don’t really know! These photos, like those of Topshop Eclipse, were taken on holiday a few weeks ago, hence the length discrepancy. Hypnotic is exactly that – my nails were pretty mesmerising!
Dalmatian Nail Art
Day 7 of the 30 Days of Untrieds Challenge! Day 7 is black & white. Now I know this isn’t exactly original but I’ve always wanted to try Dalmatian print and it’s actually surprisingly easy!
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.
Revlon Radiant
Day 5 of the 30 Days of Untrieds Challenge and I’ve finally caught back up! Day 5 is blue, so here I have a pretty blue glitter which has been around for a long time in the US, a lesser amount of time in the UK: it initially came out a few months back with the 80th Anniversary line but was mostly stocked only in large Boots stores, but it’s now hitting Superdrug shelves and some of the smaller Boots shops too.
