31 Day Challenge Day 6- Purple Nails

I know it originally says violet but i dont have any real violets yet… and this arrived yesterday so i wanted to play with it!

This is Orly’s Fowl Play. A gorgeous purple jelly that was a part of the Birds Of A Feather collection that came out last year.

Fowl Play, as i mentioned, is a dark purple jelly packed with blue micro glitter and orangey-bronze flakies. Its like nothing I’ve ever seen before and.is opaque in 2 coats. A real winner in my books

31 Day Challenge Day 5- Blue Nails

Another nice simple one for today, featuring my all time favourite blue, Towel Boy Toy By China Glaze. It’s a pretty blue with a veeeeeeeery fine purple shimmer (i mean, you have to look hard to see it) and is a neon, which dries matte. I used 2 coats here, and got bottle colour.

I though the blue alone, while being fricken gorgeous, was a bit boring, so I  topped it off with some sideways strokes of OPI’s Silver Shatter. And needless to say, I love it!

31 Day challenge Day 4- Green Nails

Nothing fancy today, just a nice, dark green in the form of Kermit by Colour by T.B.N!

Also, Emma from Manicurity, Julia from Julialovesnails and Linda from nailpolishenthusiast are doing the challenge too, so check them out!

31 Day Challenge Day 3 - Yellow Nails

I’m not the biggest fan of yellow, it doesn’t suit my skin tone that well lol. But I knew from the start which polishes I would use for this one. I started with 2 coats of Ulta3’s Citrus and topped it with two coats of China Glaze’s Sunshine.

Sunshine is SUCH an under-rated polish in my opinion, a bright yellow packed with glitter. It does smell a bit funky, i painted these about 12 hours ago and it still smells!

31 Day Challenge Day 2 - Orange Nails

It has been hot as all hell here in South Australia lately (3 days OVER 40 d egrees Celsius) so I decided some nice summery nails would suit today’s theme perfectly!

I used 3 coats of Mode Cosmetics Rave’n ( it is SO bright!) and used a dotting tool and Mode Cosmetics Partycrasher for a cute dotted French mani!

Also, Emma from Manicurity, Julia from Julialovesnails and Linda from nailpolishenthusiast have just started the challenge too, so check them out!

Day 1- Red nails.

I love red nails. It’s such a sultry nail colour. So with this one, i didn’t want to do an over-the-top look.

I chose a simple design based on another obsession of mine, corsets. I have a fair few and even one that pulls my waist in a good 12 inches!


I used Ulta3 Sizzling Red, Ulta3 Silver Grey and NYC Colours Night for this look. 2 coats of red, then once it was almost dry, i used a dotting tool and the silver for the ‘eyelets’ and used a striping brush for the ‘lacing’.

31 day Challenge!

I shall be starting this later today!
