Getting Mixy: I Made Bleige!




Ok, all the new nail collections had got me thinking that maybe I could blend my own perfect colour. So, I got to it and found it isn't nearly as easy as I thought it might be, but ended up with a colour (only enough for one hand though! and I'll never be able to make it exactly the same again...) that I love. I was aiming for a blue based beige so I used a base of Revlon Grey Suede and added in drops of Chanel Blue Satin. This just created a kind of denim grey so I added in OPI's blue sparkly Absolutely Alice which blinged it up no end. The result is a blue grey with goldy/blue sparkles - it shouldn't work but it does. What do you think?

Love it! Such a pretty blue and really suits you. I used to mix new colours a lot in the past when I got halfway through a bottle and got bored of the shade although I haven't done this in ages.
