Fridail: Colour Me Crazy: Red!

Hello!
Happy Friday everyone :)
From now on, for the next 12 weeks, Fridail posts will be used for showcasing my British Nail Blogger Colour Challenge nails!


To find out more about the British Nail Bloggers, click here!


So, as you can see, the first challenge prompt is red! Which means I got to dig out my forever-favourite red polish- Nicole by OPI's "American as Apple Pie" from Carrie Underwood's collection. 



I did a little gradient mani, though it turned out a little more pink than I expected it to, especially with the flash on (which you can see in the pictures above!)



I have a tutorial on how to do gradient nails, which you can find here!


My gradient actually came out quite speckly this time, and I think it's because of the polishes I used. On my ring finger I only used the OPI one with Barry M's Matte "Crush" and it worked quite well, but on all my other nails, I added Barry M's Aquarium "Mediterranean" polish between them, which is quite sheer and shimmery and obviously didn't mix in quite well. 
Though, I think I quite like the way it appears all speckled! It brings something new to the mani- though I do wish that the reds were a bit more dominant instead of turning pink, but pffft, I still like it!


So that's it for the red challenge! There's a link up below for you to check out what everyone else has done with the prompt.
See you soon!

(PS. The blog will be going through a few colour and layout changes over the weekend in preparation for all the new branding! I'm excited!)

Fridail: OPI Beach Sandies!

Happy Wednesday  Friday everybody! Where did the time go!? Anyway, we'll dive straight in with the post! I apologise in advance for the iPhone-quality of images, I'm still looking for some batteries that my camera won't complain about. Today I'm covering OPI's Beach Sandies from the Brazil collection, which is a little quartet of mini liquid sand polishes. Can I just say here, if anyone high up in the chain of OPI reads this (which is unlikely, but if you do then HI!), please please pleeeeease make these in full-sized bottles? Please! So... This is the box, and the four that you get (I swatched super quickly over each, so do excuse that)

LiL Challenge: Floral

Hello! Today's prompt for Life in Lacquer's July Nail Art Challenge is Floral! My initial reaction to this was "urgh. Great, I hate flowers." but then I found some really pretty designs around the internet and my spirits were lifted a little! (I really am crazy-impressed by a lot of these mind, they're so detailed and delicate and pretty)
