Some design...

I think this week is the first time I've been truly surprised and happy with the nail polish I dragged out of the back of my bookcase. Because this week, I pulled out "It's All Greek to Me" which is my all-time favourite colour. Along with Pistol Packin' Pink, which is less beloved, but does work well with the other.

 And when I say this is my favourite colour, if you made me choose from all the bottles I have (and believe me, there are many bottles to come) this is the one colour I could never do without. Admittedly, I would prefer it if you didn't make me choose...

 I was also happy because these colours work well together. I've been a bit tired of clashing colours that I can't even wear on the same hand, let alone the same nail. And I also got a bit tired of one colour on one hand. I can't remember the last time I limited myself in that way. So I wanted to do something different - something new - and these colours were perfect!

 One of my friends sent me a link to a nail polish blog a few weeks ago, and they had some nice simple designs that I had never thought to do before. Admittedly, I didn't think I would be doing them any time soon - especially with the colours I have been dragging out lately. But I realised this week was perfect. First I covered all my nails in Pistol Packin' Pink (2 layers).

Then I just used one layer of It's All Greek to Me and painted it diagonally across the top of the nail. Technically I should have used tape of something to make it neat, but I'm a bit impatient like that. And I have to say - I love it! the colours work well together and my nails look fancy and funky at the same time. Honestly, I'll be hard pressed not to do this style all the time now...
