What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #39

Barry M - Atlantic Road

I can't stress to you enough how weird this feels on the nails! This is one of Barry M's 'concrete' polishes from a few years ago. The best way to describe it, is grainy & rough to the touch, almost like sand paper. Ok, I've made it sound horrible, but it really isn't. The colour of this polish is what drew me to it immediately, but I knew I had to purchase it just to see what it felt like!

Barry M Quick Dry - Lap Of Honour

This shade is bae beautiful. There is no other way of describing it. I love the quick dry polishes Barry M do. Like the name suggests, there's no waiting around for these shades to dry, 5 mins after applying them, you're good to go.

Primark - Pink & Barry M - 334 (limited addition)

Now I can't really decide if I like these nails or not.. To be honest I'd completely forgotten I even owned this Barry M confetti polish (sorry for the Barry M overload, I had no idea until I started writing up this post how obsessed I'd been with this brand this month!) but I thought it would go perfectly with a pink base coat. What do you think?

Ciate - My Off Duty Nude & Barry M - Pomegranate
This combo though. I love it! Bit late I know but wouldn't these nails have been perfect for Valentines day? Ah well, there is always next year..

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #38

Ted Baker - No Name (sorry!) / Studio - Silver Glitter

Ok, so you can clearly see I was not over glittery nails in January.. isn't this just the most beautiful combo though? I'm in love!

Models Own - HyperGel Pink / Barry M - Silver Glitter

These were my birthday nails! Every year, I'll have some form of a pink sparkly combo on my nails & these were one of the brightest yet! I love the Hyper Gels from Models Own, they last for such a long time on the nails & are extremely glossy.

Ciate Mini - Tweed & Tails

Ok, help me out here. Nay or yay? I really don't know. I always try every nail polish I own at least once, because I find some look totally different on the nails than in the bottle, but I'm just not sure.

Ciate Mini - Tweed & Tails / Ciate Mini - Caviar Pearls, Shooting Star

& of course, because I thought they looked a bit plain, I jazzed them up a bit with some squiggles. Again, still not sure about this colour, but it looked slightly more creative when I'd added a top layer of Shooting Star.

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #36

Models Own - Aqua Violet Beetle Juice 

I re-discovered this nail polish when I was having a sort out the other week. Isn't the most fabulous colour? It looks like a normal blue shade, but you can see glitter running through it when it catches the light. So perfect for these colder months.

Barry M - Silver Foil

I remember purchasing this after seeing Patricia reviewing it on her YouTube channel many years ago. It's still one of those polishes that I reach for, as people always comment on it.

Ciate Mini - Gold Digga

This shade just screams Autumn to me! It's the perfect colour for wearing on those cold wintery nights, wrapped up with a hot chocolate.

Ciate Mini - Gold Digga & Models Own Nail Art Pen - Silver

Ah & these were my Halloween nails this year. You might remember a few years ago I did a mixture of designs, but this year I went for spiders & webs. Sometimes I think the simplest of designs are the best for nail art.

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #35

Fearne Cotton -  Coral Island & Golden Touch 
I love how you can see my nails transitioning from Summer to Autumn in this post! With this first nail art design, I tried to do an ombre glitter effect. It honestly looked better in real life! I used a sponge to get the glitter stronger at the top of the nail & worked my way down to the base.

Ciate - Island Hopping
As you can see, I was still craving glitter in my life at this point, so I used one of my Ciate Mini polishes I got for Christmas last year. I love this shade. I never used to wear orange on my nails, but definitely warming to it this year.

Rimmel London - Berries & Cream
This colour is the definition of Autumn. I'm obsessed with it. I do tend to wear this shade all through the year but it comes into its own in the colder months.

Essie - Ruffles & Feathers / Models Own Nail Art Pen - Gold

& finally my favourite design that I've done over the last few months. I might even go as far as to say my favourite ever Autumn nail art. It took me ages to do the leaves but I was so proud of this one when I'd finished. I'll definitely be doing this again next year!

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #34

Missguided - Misschievous

This is such a summery shade, I love wearing it with a bright red lip & a little black dress in the evening. It's one of those polishes that looks so expensive but I actually got it free with a magazine a few years ago!

Natural Collection - Black Cherry & Ciate - Caviar Pearls - Shooting Star

If I'm honest, I have no idea how I came up with this nail art! I just envisioned it in my head & went for it. I love the nude base colour here, it's one of my all time favourites.

Marks & Spencer's - Blue

How gorgeous is this baby blue? I'm obsessed with it as you can probably see from me using it twice in one post!

Marks & Spencer's - Blue & Collection - Sparkle Top Coat

I thought it looked lovely on it's own, but couldn't resist adding a bit of glitter. I really want to try it with a matte top coat as well as I think that'll look beautiful too.

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #31

Ciate Mini - Twilight

You know when you just feel like a change when it comes to your every day nails? This mini polish from Ciate that I received for Christmas is the perfect 'night out' shade for your nails. I love how it has subtle gold glitter running through it & how it shines in the light. Definitely one of my favourites.

Easter Nails - Barry M, Models Own & Accessorize Nail Art Pens

I'm so proud of these nails, they took me ages! The chick was actually the easiest to do & turned out to be my favourite design, which one do you like best?

Bourjois - Innovation

This is my go-to nail varnish when I want something quick & easy. It's got such a lovely pearly pink shine to it, despite looking quite plain, it adds the perfect sophisticated edge to an outfit.  

PS Primark Nails - 09 Lilac 

I was so impressed with this nail varnish, it cost me 80p from Primark & as it claimed to be a quick dry nail varnish, I was keen to see how speedy that actually was. I'm happy to say it was very quick & most importantly, lasted about a week without chipping, which is amazing for my nails. I'd highly recommend this shade, it looks gorgeous on the nails.

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #30

 

146 / Models Own Nail Art Pen in Gold

I absolutely love wearing nude & peach shades on my nails - it makes me feel tanned, even at this miserably time of year! These little nail polishes were a birthday present from my friend Ricka & I absolutely love them. She bought me the most lovely shades.

 

Rimmel - Berries & Cream / Barry M Nail Art Pen in White

These were my Valentine's nails this year. I wanted something simple but cute & these fitted that description perfectly. They didn't take me any time at all & I loved how they turned out.

 

106 / Models Own Nail Art Pen in Gold & Acessorize Nail Art Pen in Turquoise

Ah I haven't done an Aztec design for ages! Sometimes I find with nail art I need a picture for inspiration but these literally just popped into my head & onto my nails! I'm loving the gold stripes this year as you can tell!

 

Ciate - Rollarcoaster

& finally this beautiful blue sparkly nail polish is one of my new favourites. It looks quite dark on camera but looks so bright & sparkly in real life.

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #24

Models Own Nail Art Pen - White

 I absolutely love doing my version of the French manicure. It is so easy to do & looks so chic. 

Ciate - Caviar Pearls Shooting Star

This is one of my favourite nail varnishes to wear in the summer. It's a very subtle pretty shade that just goes with everything.

No7 - Lucky Lilac

I simply adore this polish! I've nearly run out of it because I wear it all the time. Like, literally ALL THE TIME. No7 is also a fantastic brand if you want to grab yourself a bargain when there's an offer in Boots. They do some beautiful shades.

Barbara Daly - White & Accessorize Nail Art Pen - Dark Blue

You know when you just feel like being creative & doing a nail art design but have no clue what to do? I always start with painting my nails white as a base colour & I was sat scrolling through Instagram for inspiration & decided on polka dots. You can never go wrong with polka dots! : )
