Afternoon daaaaahlings!
A few weeks back I was lucky enough to attend the MUA Love Hearts event. In my goody bag was a couple of the nail polishes, I WANT YOU (orange) and U & I (yellow) that are coming out with the launch. I already have something similar at home so knew I wouldn't get much use out of them.
I set my artistic mind to good use to see what I could do about this, I thought about swapping with someone but I don’t think anyone would want to swap with me……….so I mixed the colours I had to make my own unique colour!
China Glaze by Peachy Keen
I found a container and got to work, I poured in mostly yellow polish then a little bit of the orange, using the lid of said container to mix the colours together came up with a gorgeous peachy colour. I don’t have anything like this shade at home so I was most impressed with it. I saw a lot of hype last year about a colour by China Glaze called Peachy Keen, I think it’s not far off that colour and maybe with a few more mixing’s I could have it bang on!
If you do this mixing malarky....be quick with your painting, because it starts to dry and go a bit gloopy. I'm so happy with the shade I mixed though. Defo need some more!
Do any of you mix your nail varnishes too?

Do you, I've never thought to do it before, I'll take a look at your blog hun x
DeleteThis makes me think of learning primary colours in primary school.
ReplyDeleteProbably the most useful thing I learnt at primary school now I think about it.
Love that colour. Going to see what colours I could mix later- not thought to do this before!
Me too, such a useful thing to learn for later on in life huh. yeah give it a go, thanks hun x
DeleteCheck you out mrs! The shade you made is gorge, so much better than the two originals on their own! Just saw your comment on my blog about Moroccan Oil - I didn't know you were a fellow greasy ha! Any shampoo recommendations for me to try for my greasy barnet? xxx
ReplyDeleteHello my lovely! That's what I thought, I badly want the other colours though, need to source out an MUA sharpish! Oh god yeah, I go through a can of Dry shampoo a week! I don't use anything too harsh on my hair, Pantene is a no no, I was using Aussie and that was ok for a while. For about a year now I've been using Alberto Balsalm, it's mega cheap at £1 each. I also only put conditioner on the ends of my hair and not the scalp. Hope this helps gorge xxx
DeleteWhat a fab idea Stacey!! love it I may try! xxx
ReplyDeleteOooh do, you got that gorgeous purple shade xxxx
DeleteI always wanted to try this to get the rainbow/mixture nails - saw on some of the blogs. The colour looks great! X
