Prompt number nine for the 31 Day Challenge over on Instagram is rainbow. I LOVE RAINBOWS! ALL OF THE COLOURS!!! This is my second design in a row where I just 'winged it', and luckily I like how it turned out :D You win some, you lose some, eh?
I started with a base of Essence 'Wild White Ways' and let it dry. I then chose bright, eye-catching colours that really pop with a white contrast. The polishes were: Rimmel 'Raw As Night', Barry M 'Damson', NYC 'Summer In NYC', NYC 'Lexington Yellow', Hello Kitty 'Whatcha' and Models Own 'Pukka Purple'. I used the brush from each bottle to make a curved arc on the tip of my nail, making sure to overlap the colours. I finished off the look with Claire's 'Matte Topcoat'.
I really wish the red and orange shades had created more of an 'overlap' effect, but unfortunately the orange was just too opaque! If you are looking to recreate something like this, it's best to test the overlapping ability of your polishes before diving right in! :D
I seriously love how fun these nails are, and this design can easily be modified to incorporate so many different colours. I can't wait to do this one again!
What do you guys think of this twist on the classic French manicure?
Thanks for reading!
