33DC Day Two: Most Used Colour Polish

Hi there!

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. 

Don't forget to check out the other manis done for today's challenge down below! 

(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!)

Hello there!

I wasn't going to actually start this blog, it had became something of a shelved project, but then I just really wanted to share the nail art I did for the return of Doctor who tonight in the UK. So without furthur ado, here is my nail art for the episode which will air tonight - 'The Bells of St John'.
