Untried Challenge Day 9: Cheapest

There's quite a few of my untried polishes that were only 99p or £1, so I had a few to choose from for this manicure.

My cheap polish here is Sinful Colors See You Soon (picked up from Poundland).  I teamed it up with W7 Mosaic.  I thought the colours matched a little better in the bottle than they did on the nail - oh well!  Both very pretty polishes anyway :)

Untried Challenge: Day 3

It's day 3 of the Untried Polish Challenge hosted by Jonochi at Just Add Polish!  Today's challenge is to use three colours.

I picked out three polishes with similar tones (that would hopefully go together!) and then applied them to various nails in a haphazard sort of way.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but my lightbox killed this manicure!  Any tips would be very much appreciated.

Anyhoo, the glitter on my thumb and little finger is Hits Folk Rock.  The shimmery browny-reddy polish is Sinful Colors Mercury Rising, and the black with gold microglitter is Calvin Klein Tutu.

And here's a slightly horribly lit picture that shows of the Sinful Color much better.

So pretty...  And to think it was only £1!

Every single one of these polishes is stunning.  No de-stashing for me today!

A Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge: Deck the halls!

I'm officially behind with my own challenge...dear me!  I did do them on Sunday, but I took a day off from revision yesterday to go to Canterbury with my boyfriend to do a bit of Christmas shopping :) So  didn't get a chance to post them.

Of course, I went with sparkles and holly!

Showing off another of the baubles on my tree...

I used China Glaze Champagne Kisses for my sparkly base (love this polish so much!).  Then I added holly leaves in Sinful Colors Last Chance and Barry M Spring Green, and some berries in OPI Flick Chick Cherry with Barry M Matt White highlights.

Here's a picture with the flash (just because I enjoy the sparkle...).

There'll be two posts next week!  Have a look at the challenge prompts below to see what's coming up :)
