Untried Challenge: Day 1

Ah, Monday tomorrow!  Boo!  The weekend seriously needs to be a day longer.  I do enjoy my job, I just haaate waking up before 10am lol.  I know, I'm lazy...

Anyhoo, I'm starting a new challenge!  Jonochi from Just Add Polish is hosted this fab Untried Polish Challenge.  It's a post every three days (which I should be able to keep up with!) and a great opportunity to try and use some of those polishes that have been neglected.

So this morning I sat and went through all my polishes, trying to remember which ones I haven't used.  It is possible that one or two of these have been used for a small nail art detail somewhere, but as far as I can remember, they haven't been.

Here's what I have to play with:


Definitely more than the 19 that are required to complete the challenge...  There's quite a mixture in there - Barry M, Nails Inc, loads of OPI minis, China Glaze, Ninja Polish, W7 and so on and so forth.  Plenty to choose from!

Here's the challenge prompts:


So for today's one colour manicure I used...erm...well, I'd call both of these purpley pink.  Totally one colour.

This is OPI Sparrow Me The Drama and Hits Specialita Pega Pega (available from Sally Magpies).  Then I made a poor attempt at stamping, and added a few rhinestones to finish the look off.

Pop on over to take a look at all the other ladies participating in the challenge:

      Yeah, no other challenges I've seen recently have really appealed to me (normally because they involve too many manicures for me to keep up with!) but this sounded perfect :)

    Cute! Too bad the stamping didn't turn out a little more opaque.

      Thanks :) I suppose that's my fault for stamping with a jelly...whoops!

    I love the choices you made for the first day. I think it totally counts as one color too. ;-) Can't wait to see what you post next.

    Lovely choice of colour! I want to do this challenge, I haven't given one a go yet so would be nice to try it, I don't think I have 19 unused polishes though waaa!
