30 Days of Colour Sept '15 Challenge - Day 3 - Pink

Image
The prompt for day 3 of the  30 Days of Colour Challenge  is Pink . This is a new and untried pink for me which I received as part of a gift for my Birthday.  It is Miss Beauty London Gel in Tutti Frutti.  I was so impressed with this polish, as it was almost a one coater!  Here is what it looked like after one coat:   And here is the polish after two coats (no base or top coat):

30 Days of Colour Sept '15 Challenge - Day 2 - Yellow

Day 2 of the 30 Days of Colour September 2015 Challenge is Yellow.  The yellow I have chosen is Revlon 310 Beach.  I rarely wear yellow, but I'm surprised by how much I am liking this colour!  Pictures below show four coats, no base (tut tut) or top coat.

30 Days of Colour Sept '15 Challenge - Day 1 - Red

I was recently added by Dawn ( Sassy Nails ) to a group on Facebook called 30 Days of Colour Challenge .  I can't wear nail polish at work, but I will try and participate as much as I can this month! So let's get started then.... The red I have chosen for Day 1 is 310 Red Carpet by Rimmel London.  As you can see from the bottle, it's not one of my newer polishes, so I thought it would be nice to dust it off for this challenge.  The subtle gold shimmer is lovely, but only properly comes to life when viewed in the sunshine! Pictures below show two coats with no base or top coats.

Tribal Nail Art

Image
I think I have found my favourite design to do.  Tribal. If I am lacking nailspiration, I know I can do a tribal design, which will look pretty creative and interesting, without having to think too much.  After being away at the Commonwealth Games for a few weeks, not having too much time to do my nails, I decided to get back into nail art by doing a bright tribal design. I used PS Nail Polish (From Primark - £1!) in Orange and Mint Green, as well as a Glow in the Dark PS Nail Polish (Primark - £1.50) in Yellow. The blue I used was Collection 2000 'Blue Hawaii' (Poundland, £1 for 3!). For the detail, I used a black Rio nail art pen and a white nail art pen from Primark. I made a cabochon ring to match my nails!  What is your 'go to' nail art?
