Simple Summer Nail Art with MUA

Hi!

I've really been enjoying playing with the new MUA polishes I mentioned in this post. I've already shown you the blue, which I was really impressed with. Next up I have the purple (Frozen Yoghurt) and mint green (pistachio). I wanted to try these two colours together so I did some really simple nail art using a french manicure sticker, some striping tape, and a dotting tool.

I used a base coat, then painted each nail with an alternating colour. Then I added a topcoat to seal the base colour before doing any nail art.

For my index finger, I used two coats of the purple, a topcoat,  then dotted on 6 dots in a flower shape. I went over the middle dots with the purple. For my middle finger, I used two coats of the mint, a topcoat, then when it was completely dry, I put three pieces of striping tape down the length of my nail, painted purple over the whole lot, then immediately removed the tape. For my ring finger, I used a purple base and dotted on the mint. For my little finger, I used two coats of mint, then used a french manicure tip sticker across the bottom part, painted over with purple, then added purple dots. My thumb is just a copy of my little finger.

I'm really impressed with these polishes - with a topcoat, the whole mani lasted perfectly for 3 days until I wanted to change my polish. I have no doubt it would last longer if I hadn't wanted to swatch something else. The MUA polishes were opaque in two coats, and they didn't chip or wear. The picture below was taken on Day 3:

There's a minor bit of tipwear on the striped nail but nothing huge and nothing noticeable. For £1 each, I'll definitely pick up some more of this range at some point, and I'm looking forward to seeing new shades being added. You can find MUA at muastore.co.uk or in branches of Superdrug.




I bought these polishes with my own money, and did this post because I wanted to - I wasn't asked by MUA or anyone else to do it.
