31 Day Nail Challenge Day 1: Red Nails

AHHHHH so i've finally decided to start! I calculated the days left I had till the end of uni and it works really well right now since all the easy stuff is within the first 2 weeks or so (roughly the amount of time I have left of the semester).

Today's theme is RED nails - My favourite polish colour, alongside pink! I'm not a pink fan, but it suits my skin really well which is why I love it. Any colour from the family gets my vote!

I have something simple and cute today, a black french, red base and little bows and stitches :) I've used China Glaze Masai Red, Liquid Leather and white acrylic paint for the details. Masai Red is quite dark (darker than in the pics) and I would say it very closely resembles City Siren from the Metro Collection. I take back my claim, I looked at Masai Red in daylight and it is a deep red wine colour! Only difference between the two is that Masai Red is a jelly-like base whereas City Siren is a creme.

Flash - if only it was this kind of red! Btw, it's probably very, very hard to tell, but i've also added a small piece of holo glitter from ChG Techno to the centre of the bows - silly me, why didn't I use something bigger?

Cute eh? I seriously can't wait to come up with a whole lot of fantastic stuff, so do keep reading! I've already thought ahead for some designs too teehee. If anyone has started this, let me know so we can do the challenge together!

Hope to see you in the next post!

  2. Oh this is so beautiful! I can't wait to see you do this challenge. I have had so much fun with it. The timing was a little tough for me in October because I had to cover for coworkers a lot, but it has still been a blast. These are so cute and elegant at the same time. :)
