NOTD – Feeling Blue

ByLisa Jayne
Recently I’ve been feeling a little ‘blue’. I’m missing a lot of my uni life, the friends I made there, my boyfriend, and the general freedom of uni life away from home. If any of you follow me on Twitter you probably know this. For that reason I decided to mix two of my nail varnishes together to make this ‘feeling blue’ colour. Here’s what I used:

 

OPI miniature Katy Perry collection in: Last Friday Night, and Rimmel London in Aqua Cool
 
As I said latelly in one of my blog posts I’ve been experimenting with glitter nail polish on top of other colours,  and I decided to do this again with my Katy Perry miniature, as I haven’t really used the colour before, and thought the blue on top of the blue would go nicely. I started with Rimmel’s Aqua cool, which comes out as a nice pale blue shade, which I only needed 1 coat for as it comes out so opaque. I then did a couple of coats of Last Friday Night, to give it a brighter blue finish. Topped off of course with my Seche Vite – I don’t know how I ever lived without this product!

 

 

I really like the overall finish of this colour, the Katy Perry colour really makes the Rimmel blue colour stand out, and gives it a great finish! I think I’ll be experimenting a lot more with layering nail polishes.

 

What do you think?

Have you tried layering any nail varnishes?

    When it comes to foundation I’ve always been a heavy coverage kind of girl. It’s only in recent years since I’ve had luck with my skincare routine, that I’ve ventured to more of a light coverage. Still I’ve only ever used liquid foundations, mineral makeup is somewhat alien to me. In fact when it comes…
