#33DC - Day 7 - Art featuring your oldest untried.

 Hi lovely people.  Today is Day 7 of the #33DC and the prompt for today is art with your oldest untried.  As crappy luck would have it, my oldest untried was a sheer wash of nothing for french mani's.  It's by Revlon and it's called barely peach.  I have never done a french mani on myself, I used to get pink and white acrylics at the salon for years, so have no interest in having them again.  On a sidenote, I was paying £10 more a set for "UV Gel" nails, but was being ripped off by the salon who were still using acrylic!  They just grabbed a different pot, and told me it was gel.  The nerve of some people eh!   Anyway, I digress.................................

So, as you can see in the picture, I decided to pair it with a really, really old polish of mine.  I got it when I worked for asos, and had a staff discount : D  It's not technically untried, but I havn't used it since I learnt to do more than paint a gloopy mess on the ends of my fingers.  It's called Mary-Kate, and it is a black polish laden with gold shimmer.

I put just one coat of barely peach on, and when that was dry I marked off the half moons with some cheap paper hole reinforcers.  I had to work really quickly with these, as I needed 2 coats of Mary-Kate for opacity. Then I just grabbed some gold acrylic paint, and freehanded some leopard print, then added a line around the half moon to hide the fact that they were a little scruffy.

This was actually a pretty quick mani to do, and I liked the end result.  You can see, I had a little bit of smudging of the black polish into the half moons while topcoating.  I think the black was still pretty wet, but that's hardly surprising when you don't let it dry between layers : D  I don't think I did too bad considering what my untried was, but I'd love to know what you guys think!
