Nails: Raspberries

I'm pretty sure in my 10 years of nail blogging I haven't done raspberry nails, strawberries a couple of times. Also I really need to work of my top coat application!

26 Great Nail Art Ideas: Red and Pink - Smear for Smear

I am a little early with my nail art for the Smear for Smear campaign. However I think the nails also tie in with the pink / red themed challenge for 26 great nail art ideas.

The idea is during 22nd - 28th January it is smear for smear week, whereby people in the UK raise awareness for how important it is to get your cervical screening test done, as uncomfortable and embarrassing as it is. People who have a cervix need to get them checked! Sera worded the importance much better than I could (read it here).

Traditionally you smear your lipstick and post a selfie, me being a nail art person started with a light pink base and stamped some red lips on to my nails and then smeared those with acetone.

Nail Polish Battle 2016: Reds and Berries Polishes

Essie - Fiji // Barry M - Rose Hip // Barry M - Sugar Plum // Champneys - Pink // Barry M - Pomegranate // Essie - Shall We Chalet // Essie - Fishnet Stockings // Essie - Bahama Mama // Nails Inc - Piccadilly Circus // A England - Let Me // OPI - Let Your Love Shine

While there were a few different options to chose in this section I ended up with a Barry M, Nails Inc and A England. The first two are very much berry toned cream polishes and the last a holographic.

The winner is Let Me In, a berry holographic. It is very almost a one coater, what I like is how this is definitely a berry tone rather than leaning too far to either pink or red.
