NAILS Mag 31DC March Day 10 - French

Hello everyone! Today's prompt in the 31DC is French. I'm not a big fan of French manis in the traditional sense - well, given how much colours I regularly splash all over my nails, somethig as tame and subtle as a traditional nude French mani was never going to work for me, but I understand that they have their place (and do them regularly for other people!).

Having said that, I felt I needed to do a "me" French, so I Started with several coats of Nails Inc Baker Street (a super striking blue), and painted the tip with LA Colors French White (finally using it for its named purpose lol!). I then painted on large pink circles using LA Colors Absolute, filled those in with more French White, and added more circles with LA Colors Mint. Iadded a few smaller dots using all the colours and then finished with Seche Vite.





I love these colours! So bright and bold - this mani really cheered me up in the middle of a pretty rubbish time all in all. I wish I could keep them on for longer, but tomorrow calls for a Purple themed mani as well as my next Tri Polish challenge design for March, featuring green, blue and purple. Lots of painting to do! :)

  3. I love these! They are so bright and just - well cheerful. I haven't used any polishes by Nails Inc (the blue), do they stain at all? So many of my favorite blues do :(
