Nail Art - Purple Ombre

Hello! 

It's been months since I've sat down and actually written a blog post! Summer has been really busy for me, with working full time, going away on holiday & just being to tired at the end of a hot day too do any blogging. But I am back, I have just started University for this year and my timetable for the first semester is pretty relaxed, so luckily for me that means more time to do my nails & blog! 

I am attempting to do Californails Nail Art March, however I am slacking a bit already since I haven't posted day 1. I did the dotticure for day 1 & when I tried to take photos of it it was too neon to get a nice photo, don't you just hate that about neons. I have posted day 4 ombre and that is what I plan to share with you in the post ( I may also chuck in a photo or two of the neon mani which failed to photograph).

This was my first time doing ombre nails but I really loved them, having only around 100 polishes I didn't think I would have enough of one colour to do a ombre but turns out I do! I actually kinda cheated though by only doing four fingers but I'm sure I could have found a fifth if I tried. 






The colours I used for this purple ombre were (from index to pinky): Barry M - Prickly Pear, OPI - Do You Lilac It?, Ruby Wing - Fate & OPI - Dutch 'Ya Just Love OPI?. I topped it all off with Poshe topcoat to give it a gorgeous shine (and make it dry fast). 

These are my neon dotticure nails which failed to photograph properly. This photo was after Photoshop editing it. I used OPI - My Vampire is Buff & an Essie with no name on the bottle but I believe it might be called Lights.




The next couple weeks will be a little busy for me but I plan to still fit in my blogging too. Next Saturday is my 20th Birthday which I am really looking forward to because I know there are 8 indie nail polished waiting for me from my lovely boyfriend, so expect to see swatches of them. And tomorrow, I am heading about 3 hours south for the weekend but I'll see if I can get a post prepared to publish over weekend. 


Well that's all for now, hope you're all having a fantastic day/night where ever in the world you are!
Thanks for stopping by!
