31 Day Challenge - Day 6 - Violet

I told you I was on a roll today! Blog post number three!

Here are my violet nails for the 31 Day Challenge on Instagram (prompt number six)

As I'm still not feeling 100% (and the doctors can't figure out why...), so I've been opting for simpler designs but I still think that this one is super effective. I used the oldest polish in my collection for the base - 'Vivid Violet' by No7, which is still available to purchase (even though I got mine years ago). It's a truly beautiful polish with a great glossy finish and a perfect slight pink shimmer running through it. So pretty! I then used a dotting tool and OPI 'Unfrost My Heart' to make the flowers, filling in the centre with more Vivid Violet before a final dot of silver. On my pinkie I wanted bling, so I used my new mini Swarovski crystals from She Sells Seashells and they are sooooo sparkly! <3 My camera and lighting setup really doesn't capture the true beauty of this mani at all.

After taking my photos I started thinking I shouldn't have bothered with the individual flowers on each nail and wish I'd stuck to just one accent nail. Oh well! What do you think?

Thanks for reading!
