My red nails for Day 1 of the challenge aren’t too adventurous as I wanted to keep it classic to go with the red polish. I went through a phase when I was crazy about this polish, Rimmel Heart on Fire, but it’s been sat in its drawer unloved for a few months. I was very glad to dust it off and give it a whirl today.

1. I started with a base coat of OPI Nail Envy and waited for that to dry before applying hole reinforcers to mark off the half moons near my cuticle. 

2. I then painted the rest of the nail with Rimmel Heart On Fire and removed the sticker straight away. Fragrance Direct currently has loads of Rimmel Lycra Pro polishes for 99p including Heart on Fire! 

3. When it was all dry, I added on the accent lines in Barry M Gold Foil with a nail art brush.

4. Finally I topped it all off with two coats of Sally Hansen Dries Instantly.

I did a pictorial for half moons over at Divine Caroline if you’d like to see the process in a bit more detail.
