GOT: Lilac

I was trying to go from large to small dots, not sure it really worked. I used ELF's Lilac from June 2010. As for the dots I used Models Own Red Black from January 2011.

Nails: Monkey See, Monkey Do - Lilac French Animal Print

When I first saw this over on Colores de Carol I was completely inspired to have a go myself. All I did was swap the light blue for light purple.

Nail Polish: Battle of the Pastels

Collection 2000 - French Tip White, W7 - Polar White, Barry M - Matte White, Sally Hansen - Lavender Cloud, Revlon - Cloud, W7 - Sheer Lemon, Angels Delight, Sally Hansen - First Kiss, ELF - Innocent, Eyeko - Rain, Eyeko - Vintage, ELF - Mint, ELF - Lilac, Sally Hansen - Delphinium

So first round we have to get 14 polishes down to just four. Me being me I don't particularly have a preference for light polishes! I adore Sally Hansen's Lavender Cloud, it is opaque in two coats and is perfect for those winter nail designs.

However I seem over the past year to have used an awful lot of ELF's Innocent and that is why it is making it through to the next round.

The winner of the battle is Barry M's Matte White, and while I have used a lot of Innocent Matte White wins (just) because it is good for stamping as well as a base for nail designs!

Swatch: Barry M - Chameleon Lilac

This a polish which when you paint a topcoat on it changes colour. In the photo I painted French tips on with a top coat. So you start off with a base coat and then a coat or two of the metallic finish polish.
