Nail-Art-A-Go-Go - Day 7 - Primary

Hi guys, and welcome to Day 7 of the NAGG challenge.  This is the last prompt in the colour theory week of the challenge; Primary.  I struggled with this prompt at first, I had no clue what to do with red, blue and yellow, so I decided to keep it simple, and just use the blue and red.

The base for this mani is Gallery Colours - Electric Blue, and the stamping is Kleancolor - Metallic Red and MoYou London - Suki 07.  I adore this big swirly bit in the middle of this plate and the last time I used it my nails were pretty short, so it's nice to see how it looks on long nails too.
I was really happy with the way this mani turned out in the end, I think these 2 polishes play very nicely together, and I'm pleased it wasn't a total disaster.  I felt pretty out of my comfort zone with this prompt :)
The next week of the challenge will be the Art 101 week, and the prompts will be a lot harder from now on - I hope you're looking forward to it!  Also, tomorrows mani for still life is a wild (read:mis-) interpretation of the prompt, but I think it's pretty cool, so I'm crossing my fingers that I will be forgiven :D
Don't forget to check out all the other Primary mani's in the thumbnails below.

    Dang woman! Your nails look fantabulous!!!
    I think getting out of our comfort zone is the point of doing this. LOL

      :D Thank you sweetie! This is the first time in my life I have actually filed my nails by choice - I owe it all to Duri Rejuvacote though, they even bend when I knock them now, instead of breaking! *does a little happy dance*
      You've gotta hand it to Missy, this challenge is a real doozy (and so much fun) x

      I undercoat mine with Orly's nail mender. It's like armor! I rarely break tips or corners anymore & I only break at the nail line when my nails are nekkid & need their undies reapplied. I can't say I don't break nails using this, but I break them a lot less often.

      Missy is an Evil Genius for sure! <3

      I switched to Duri from Nail Envy at the start of the year, and so far I haven't had a single break, although I probably will now :) I'm pleased though, it's exactly half the price of Nail Envy, and so far, way better :D xx
