The New 31 Day Nail Challenge - Day 4 - Pink

Day 4 of The New 31 Day Nail Challenge is Pink!

If you have been reading my blog for a while you will know that I love pink, it is my favourite colour so I have quite a few pink polishes so the biggest challenge was picking one!

I decided to go with one I haven't used yet.

This is where I start to look bad.

My untried pink is No 7 Stay Perfect in Sugar, from the Spring 2011 collection.

I've had it almost two years and it was still untried.

Whoops.

Anyway, I used three coats of Sugar on all but my ring finger, which I used Barry M Matt White.

Then I framed all the nails with Barry M's Boots Xmas Limited Edition 2012 Gold polish, which, as the name might suggest, is one of two limited edition polishes they released for Xmas 2012 in Boots, the other was a Pink which I still haven't been able to find anywhere :-(. Barry M also released two LE polishes in Superdrug at the same time.

To finish off I added the little roses on the ring finger using Sugar and Barry M Shocking Pink, then a mix of Barry M Spring Green and Lime Green for the leaves.

Day 5 of the challenge is Purple!

What to do?

31 Day Nail Challenge - Day 9 - Rainbow Nails

I have been thinking of what to do for Day 9 for a while now.

Don't get me wrong, I love my brights, but I personally think if you are going to use a lot of brights at one time, it needs to be something spectacular, or something simple otherwise it runs the risk of looking tacky.

But that's just my preference.

So, I was looking for inspiration on good ol' Google and came across this.

Simple and cute.

So I gave it a go.

I took the opportunity to take a photo in the 15 seconds of sunshine I had while taking pics!

 

For this I used 

- Boots 17 Lasting Fix in Mini Skirt for the clouds.

- Barry M Bright Red 262, Lemon Ice Cream 307, Spring Green 290 and Pure Turquoise 295 for the rainbow.

Then topped it all off with a coat of Seche Vite.

They definitely brightened up my day!
