Oh, another thing to mention. I recently went through all my polishes and put all the ones I haven't tried into a bag. The bag ended up pretty full... So, by the end of November I want to try them all! Each manicure I post in November, I will list which untried polish I've used, and hopefully I'll get through them all.
The challenge prompt for day 24 of the challenge is inspired by a book. I have a few books piled up under my TV, and The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene has been looking at me for a few days, and I thought the cover might translate into a nice manicure.
This is the cover. You will indeed find it looks nothing like my manicure.
This is a rubbish photo, sorry. I blame the cooold daaark nights. Anyhoo, I used Barry M Vivid Purple, which is super super pretty. I almost didn't want to cover it up, but then I thought 'yeah right, as if I'm actually going to be caught dead going out with plain nails'. Silliness. Then I used OPI Stranger Tides and squiggled with a white nail art pen.
Erm...I really don't like them. They were so pretty in my head. I should've just cut out nail shaped pieces from the cover instead and stuck them on :p I think maybe I'd prefer them if I'd used a different purple - one with a creme finish like Stranger Tides. What do you think?
Also, I think Vivid Purple is quite similar to OPI Grape...Set...Match, so I might do a comparison post, if that's something people would be interested in seeing?
