This is Rimmel Lycra Pro - Ultra Violet, and is yet another 99p bargain which is still currently available on the site. I was planning to do a stand-alone swatch for this, but I had Crowstoes - Cheshire sitting on my table begging for an outing, so I added a quick accent nail, and added a teeny tiny bit near the cuticle on my thumb (don't ask me why, I think it looks a bit weird tbh!)
This is shown here at 2 coats, and the formula was nice and easy to work with. I know I've said it before, but I love the brushes in these polishes. They're fairly wide, not too long or short, and have a nice rounded tip for getting in near the cuticle. I am getting used to OPI's wide brush from using Nail Envy in every mani, but I still prefer these any day. They just work better for my nail shape.
Anyway, that's quite enough rambling from me today! I will be back tomorrow with Day 7 of the #33DC : D
Cheshire is lovely as well :)
ReplyDeleteWhat programme do you use to get your watermark curved? I've tried a couple in the past but can't seem to get away with them.
It is stunning!
DeleteI use GIMP : D And I have the python plug in aswell to get the other effects on the text. GIMP is a free programme, and it's pretty easy to use once you get used to it. (plus it makes me laugh whenever I say it) If you can't find a good tutorial for it online, let me know and I'll help. I watched 2 different tutorials on youtube, then just sorta smushed them together! One was for the text effects, and one on how to make it curved. xx
Ahh not GIMP! I don't get on with it, maybe I should try it again. It's been about six months since I last tried using it!
Deleteif you get the newest version, I can send you the commands I use in a sort of step by step thing. It is a bit of a finicky programme, but once you're familiar with it it gets so much easier. I think for me it was the layout - it's crammed with buttons everywhere which is pretty confusing at first : D xx
DeleteThat would be great, I think you are right about there being buttons everywhere! Do you have my email?
DeleteThe one from your contact me page alright? I'll put it together later this afternoon xx
DeleteIts such a pretty colour!
ReplyDeleteisn't it? I love purple (you can probably tell from my hair lol) x
