Tri Polish Challenge July 2013 - Manicure 1

Greetings All!

It's that time again already! The Tri Polish Challenge! The rules are simple - to create four manicures, using three polishes representing three pre-determined colours. If you want to join in, you can do here.

The colours this month are blue, blue and green. Here are the polishes I will be using all month:


Barry M Gellys again! This month I'm using Blueberry, Blue Grape and Key Lime.

I can't get enough of Barry M at the moment, especially the Gellys. They give great coverage, many of them stamp, and they're so very shiny! A great selection of colours too, which is why I'm using them again!

I also set myself a little 'challenge within a challenge' for this series. You have to use all three polishes at least once, and you are allowed to use black, white, gold, silver and glitter. I try and use all three polishes for all four manicures, and to not use any other polishes (well, I would probably allow myself to use glitter!). It's just a silly little thing I like to do. This month I succeeded!

So, here is my first manicure. There will be three more this month, using the same colours.






I started with a base of Blueberry, then used the cling film method with Blue Grape and Key Lime. I like the effect - it reminds me a bit of algae on water.

      I can see what you mean - it definitely has a 'natural' look to it.

      I think it works because the Gellys all go together quite well.
      And thank you, I love my nails at the moment! They won't last though lol.
