I wish I was a pretty peacock!

So, challenges over, I get to do my nails the way I want to do my nails. So it takes me forever to decide.

But, I wanted to use one of my new polishes, so plumped for Essence colour n go shade 78 'blue addicted' this consists of a deep blue jelly with tiny blue glitter speckles and green and blue hexes. I really really love how this looks but for me it needed a very strong base coat. So, I have plumped for Models Own Emerald black, which is about the darkest green I have ever seen in my little life! But, to make the glitter stand out better I decided to use a matte top coat from Rimmel.

MSE Nail Art Challenge - 1st Week - Red Nails

Buoyed up with enthusiasm a few of us girls from the MSE nail polish addicts thread ( http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=3779621) decided to do our own little challenge. So, we are taking the 31 day challenge a little more leisurely at 1 challenge a week.

This week is red, so to do something different I decided to have a half shiny, half matte finish.

I started with a wonderful coat of Revlon Cherry Crush as it is such a rich red, then taped the middle of my fingers using french manicure stickers. Then, I painted everything below the line with Rimmell Matte finish. I am quite pleased with the result, but think it would have looked even better with a colour which showed the difference more. Maybe on top of a neon?

What do you think?
