My First Tri-Polish Challenge!

Hello everyone!!

I hope everyone's day is going well! Posting on a Tuesday is weird for me, but today is my first time taking part in the Tri-Polish Challenge started by Debbie from The Crumpet!

I'll explain more below, but look at the nails!

Trippy clouds, right?! Haha

For anyone who doesn't know what the Tri-Polish Challenge is, every month 3 colors are assigned. For those 3 colors, you have to pick 1 polish to represent each color and you're only allowed to use those (plus black, white, gold, silver, and a glitter topper if you choose). You then create 4 manicures with at least 2 of the 3 mandatory colors and at least 1 manicure has to use all 3 colors. All posts are put up the Tuesday and Thursday of the 3rd and 4th weeks of the month.

Okay, that was a lot of talking, sorry! (acceptable ranting, I might add!)

Here's the colors I chose!

The colors this month are lilac, pink, and blue. I'm aware that my lilac is called Lavender but I don't think it's a lavender color at all so don't mind the name haha.

These were really easy! I just painted my nails with my lilac, and then using my dotting tool made clouds shapes with the pink and the blue! I then added a matte topcoat!

Funny story, the pink that I chose for this challenge is actually my ONLY pink nail polish! I have had a strong distaste for the color pink for as long as I can remember, but I'm trying to get over it for the blogs sake. But don't expect to see many more pink nails on here haha!

I wanted to start off simple as this is my first time being in any challenge. They remind me of some trippy colored clouds that you would see in a movie or something. I really liked how these looked and will probably do them again!

Also, I'm aware that the color balance is still off in these photos, but I'm currently trying to find a better light bulb for my light box. Until then, I will try to make the nail polish as color accurate as possible without discoloring my skin too much. 

Wow, ranting, sorry!

What do you think of these nails? Would you wear a trippy cloud manicure? Let me know!

Today's song:

Zedd feat. Hayley Williams - Stay The Night
Fun Fact: Hayley Williams is my favorite singer, SWOON! (:


Until next time!

(I think I did the inlinkz thing below right? Maybe, someone let me know if it's wonky!)

  1. I love the clouds design, it's cute. Despite the fact you only own one pink, it's really gorgeous one :)
