RED: 31 Day Challenge

This if my very first official nail polish challenge.  I'd always seen post of people doing the 31 day challenge but I was very intimidated by it all :os I said what they hey though and jumped on the wagon. Kimber from Kimber's Laquer Korner had decided that it would be better if we did it every 3 days.  Less pressure for all of us.  So I guess its more like the 93 day challenge.



Of course the first day as most people know is red.  I'm extremely disappointed with the quality of the picture.  It did not capture the effect at all.  Unfortunately I didn't check the photos until this morning. 

Enough poor me though.  I used my favourite red by Rimmel London in 'Red Stilleto'.  I then used Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear in 'Red Carpet' to create a gradient effect.  I wish you could all see it in person because it really did turn out beautifully


Sorry for the dry nasty fingers. They need some serious TLC

    Red glitter is so hard to photograph!! Mine were coming out terrible for the first like twenty pics, and even still its hard to see the glitter. I'm sure these look awesome in person though, that gradient looks perfectly blended!

    I agree about red glitter fighting the camera! I can see it from a nail polish eye though & its lovely! I used a Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear as well!

    So pretty! I do hate how hard red shimmer and glitter is to photograph! I had problems too. I can't wait to see what you do next!
