Day 6: Violet Nails

Before I start, I'm currently looking for a few guest bloggers to post for me whilst I'm away. To find out more click HERE.

So, back to the post! Today is Purple nails day and for this I decided to use BarryM's Bright Purple & Berry Ice Cream, Saffron London in colour 05 and E.L.F's Matte Finisher.
I was originally just going to have a block colour of BarryM's Bright Purple, but I then decided to jazz it up a little with some Stripes & Glitter.
After doing so, I found with the creaminess of the polishes and the combination of the glitter, I found it to be a bit to shiny, so that's where the Matte Finisher came in handy! I was pretty pleased with how they looked when finished (minus the tiny little smudges that occurred). I just can't seem to give my nails enough time to just get their 'dry on'. Impatience is one of my fatal flaws, that's for sure.
Hopefully, when I get onto the more complicated ones I'll be able to do a step by step guide, if the lighting isn't dull and I have enough time, it gets dark at around 4.30pm in England now....BOO! I hate Winter.
