MUA Love Heart polish mix up!

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?

  3. This makes me think of learning primary colours in primary school.

    Probably 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!

    1. Hello 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
