It's the second of The Crumpet's 33 day nail art challenge, and today's prompt is 'your most used colour polish'. I wasn't sure which one mine was, so I lined up some of favourite polishes to see which I had used the most of and there was a clear winner. China Glaze Fast Track is half gone! I hadn't even realised I had used so much of it!
I decided to go with a beach theme for my mani, since I've always thought that Fast Track mattified looks quite a lot like sand.

I started with two coats of Fast Track. Unfortunately, as my bottle is getting a little old now the formula has become thicker. It's not unworkable, just not as nice as it used to be! Maybe I should invest in some thinner...). I love the golden shimmer this polish has, it's such an interesting nude! I used my Rimmel Matte Finish topcoat so that it looked more like sand.
Then I mixed Sinful Colors Snow Me White with a little Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Blue Me Away and painted it onto my tips with a small brush, to try and create waves. I added the details with Snow Me White and a toothpick.
I do like this manicure, but now that I look at it again, I wish I'd added some bigger waves, and maybe a starfish or something as well, to make it more obvious what I was going for. Never mind, it was a good chance to use Fast Track again.

(Also, I'm experimenting with the size of the photos on the blog - I think I like them this size, but let me know what you prefer!)
Fast Track was one of my contenders, too! I def use it a TON! If you don'y have Orly's Nite Owl I totally recommend it- they're almost twins, but Orly has silver shimmers instead of gold :)
ReplyDeleteOooh that sounds interesting! I haven't yet bought any back ups for my colour polishes, but Fast Track is a big contender! I love how subtle it is whilst still being interesting and unusual :) Thanks for the recommendation!
