31 Day Challenge - Inspired by a Colour

I think the last 10 days of this challenge are mean't to be the ones that push you to your limits, but I am interesed to face up to it.

My first love is pink, I am a pink girly girl and have always been that way. Last year in October my nail polish addiction started with 8 pink polishes and someone being pleasant about my nail painting on facebook and now I am here August with 350 polishes and writing a blog I never thought anyone would read.

However, here I am going to pay tribute to the first colour I used when I stepped out of my comfort zone of pink with the occasional purple and I am using green. I didn't realise until I put the first green polish on my fingers exactly how wonderful it would look and how much I loved the look of it against my skin.

For this I have broken out one of my favourite dior polishes, no 504 Waterlily. But to make it a bit more special and green I dabbled similar shaded glitter onto the tips. I always love this type of mani and think it looks so special. I am also very lucky to have a lady who comes to my workplace and sells discounted Dior polish. Woo Hoo!

So here are the pictures. Enjoy.

Nail Polish Addicts of the World Unite and Take Over - MSE

Rightly or wrongly the management at www.moneysavingexpert.com have decided they don't want us posting links to our blogs on their forum. This is okay, it is their right to choose what is posted. However, it does make it quite difficult for us ladies to post pictures etc from our blogs.

So, we have gone and darn made our own! Anyone reading from MSE please join, everyone is welcome. Also, anyone else who has a love for nail polish come along. We are a very friendly bunch and adore new members :)

Here is the link, and I have posted one at the top of the page aswell

31 Day Nail Challenge #18 half moons

The most difficult thing about this manicure was getting hold of the ring binder reinforcements. They just don't seem to sell them anywhere anymore. I had to make do with french manicure guides, which I used upside down, but I think the overall effect is good and looked quite nice. It actually disappointed me when I had to take this off.

The polishes I have used are China Glaze Towel Toy Boy for the half moon, and Kiko 383 Ink Blue for the covering colour. I think the two go quite well together. I think I will call this one a success! (unsual for me)

31 Day Challenge #17 Glitter

Luckily this challenge was one I had in the bag ready for this week. I love the glitter, infact I love it so much I used two different ones.

I have used Barry M 'Blue Glitter' and Technic 'Mermaid. The Barry M polish gives full coverage in two coats, and looks wonderful when you give it a splash of top coat. But, I couldn't resist popping some mermaid on the top which has some holographic blue and green pieces in it. Some of the photos below are blurry, but that is only so you can see the colors in it.

Enjoy! Have a good weekend, I hope to be back on fine form next week.
