Nails Inc Mix and Match - Girly Turquoise Skittles

I think I must be on a turquoise kick! I won a years supply of Nails Inc polishes by entering the Tiger Mani into InStyle Magazine's Nail Art contest, and Haymarket - the polish I used today - was one of twelve that were sent as a prize! (Not quite a years supply for me, but it's still a great prize haha!)

I started with two coats of Haymarket, a muted, dusky turquoise - more blue-toned than green. You can't beat Nails Inc on quality, you get what you pay for, as these retail at £11 a pop - not something I can usually afford!





I added a different design to each nail, aside from the polka dots, which were added using Konad plate M79 with Konad White Special Polish, I used a paint brush for the details.





The pink polish on the accent nail bow, index and thumb is Collection 2000 Candy Floss, the silver is a Claire' Nail Art Pen and the white is Natural Collection from Boots.

Clearly a design for when you can't make your mind up! I quite like that it's all mixed up,it's very girly, all that's missing is hello kitty - as my mum said.

I promise I will get back to posting more regularly!

    When I read years supply I had an imagine of a massive lorry filled with nail polish pulling up outside your house! That's a year supply to me! :P
    I really like the combination of patterns you used, the pink looks really good with it.

    Wow! Congrats on the win! Your Tiger mani was amazing so no wonder it won! I also laughed when I read a year's supply but then you got 12(which is still great 'cos they are so expensive!) I suppose for some people that is a year's supply...but not us..Lol!!

    I'm so jealous, I've just about bankrupted myself thanks to my Nails Inc. addiction! Haymarket is probably my favourite at the moment, it's bright but not tacky, in-your-face bright - love it!

    Really cute mani, and congratulations for winning your prize :)

    Congratulations on your win :)

    I love that a nail varnish a month constitutes a 'years's supply'! Still a great prize though!
