Just a quick one for today. I had a very busy weekend so didn't have chance to spend too much time on a design this week. As you may have guessed from other posts I am rather keen on purple, so I decided to go with purple ombré nails.
Instead of creating ombré effect on every nail like I've tried before (you can see some here and here), I chose five different shades of purple and started with the darkest on my thumb nail and worked outwards getting lighter as I went.
From my thumb to my little finger I have Rimmel Black Cherries, Rimmel Trend Spotting, Rimmel Purple Pulse, Models Own Lilac Dream and Models Own Grape Juice. As they were different brands of polish they all had slightly different finishes so I finished off with a coat of Collection 2000 (although now just called Collection - that's how old my bottle must be!) glitter top coat and a coat of Sally Hansen top coat for a super glossy finish.
I love how the colours all work individually and together to create the effect I was going for. I have seen this ombré design in a few different places and it was the perfect opportunity to give it a go this week. This ombré style is a bit of a throw back from when I was younger and I would paint my toe nails in alternating shades of the same colour!
In other very exciting news Look Magazine contacted me and said that they would like to feature my nails in the magazine, so I am very excited and am looking forward to the issue out in the middle of May. I'll be going down to the shops to get a copy or two!
Have you had a go at anything recently that has reminded you of when you were younger? Or have you tried something that you have seen around and thought you should have a go at, but not got round too yet? Leave a comment and let me know x
