Fridail: Colour Me Crazy- Green!

Hey everyone!
Happy Friday! (It's the weekend- yay!)

First of all, I would like to apologise, because I don't have any time to do the final prompt in the Life in Lacquer July Challenge! :( But thank you for following that journey with me, and thanks again to Jade from Life in Lacquer for creating it- I had a lot of fun! :D

Also, before we dive into today's post properly, there will be no posts next week. I'm off to do a 5 day leadership program, so won't have any time (or a laptop). So go and take a well-deserved week off from reading my ramblings while I go and learn how to be a leader.

On with the post then! Today I'm showcasing my green mani for the British Nail Blogger's Colour Me Crazy challenge!




Deciding what to do for this one was a bit hard because I just love green so much! But I recently bought a green-blue crackle polish by Nails Inc, so simple had to use it. I also remembered about the bottle of glitter I have from Nails Inc's "Bling it On: Emerald" set- so I grabbed that to use too!



Polishes used are: Barry M's Aquarium "Arabian" (thumb and pinkie base colour)


Barry M's Silk "Meadow" (index and ring fingers base colour)


Nails Inc "Clapham Crackle Topcoat"




...I think I have a new favourite crackle polish! 


Anyway, looking at this mani on my nails right now, I'm loving how the duo-colours in "Arabian" are poking their way through the crackle, and also how the glitter is shimmering today! The colours are just perfect too, darn you Barry M & Nails Inc for making such wonderful polishes!

This is also my last mani before I cut my nails in preparation for my program... *sniff sniff* Goodbye long nails! :( 




So that's all from me! I shall see you on Monday the 11th of August, which just happens to be 3 days before A Level Results day (yet another thing to cry about).
Have a lovely week without me! 
~Rachel

How To: Gradient Nails

Gradient nails are a great way to ensure that your mani matches your outfit over a set period of days (depending on how many colours you use), and it also just looks pretty dang awesome. You've seen a few of my own mani's where gradients have been used (these ones below, in example), especially those in more recent posts! So a tutorial is definitely long overdue- I hope you find it useful!
