52 Week Challenge: Inspired by a Book

This week's prompt is 'Inspired by a Book' today's nails are inspired by Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne. The bubbles on my thumb are from the heatwave we had in the UK, although I think it works with nautical themed nails.

Nail Art: Diabetes Awareness - Patchwork Blues

November is Diabetes Awareness Month and so every Friday to raise awareness I am doing blue nails.

Nail Polish Battle 2020: Blue

Barry M - Berry Sorbet // Essie - Mint Candy Apple // Barry M - Sour Candy // Barry M - Ocean Blue // Rimmel - Danny Boy Blue // A England - Skinhead // Tonic - Dragons at Dusk // Danglefoot - The First Avenger // Nail Artisan - Witching Hour

Danny Boy Blue is a true colbalt blue, quite vivid similar to the original Sally Hansen Pacific Blue or Nails Inc Baker Street. No mistaking this for black or even a white, certainly a blue.

Dragons at Dusk is a beautiful duochrome polish, changing from blue to purple, there is also some teal in there too which is nice.

Which means the winner is The First Avenger which is a beautiful metallic primarily blue but a duochrome changing to purple on different angles.
