What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #42

Fearne Cotton - Burnt Out

I was wearing this back in June, but I'm tempted to get it back out again for Autumn. It's the perfect shade to wear with dark greens & reds at this time of year.

Leighton Denny - Coral Reef

One of my favourite shades! I swear I say this in almost all my nail art posts but it's true! This colour has lived on my toe nails this Summer.

Orly - Harmonious Mess

Ah again another of my favs. The perfect blue for a warm sunny day.

Barry M - Gold

& my latest nail polish of choice. I'm not a massive fan of wearing bright oranges on my nails, but love golds or darker oranges & this one is simply stunning.

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #41

Fearne Cotton - Cotton Candy

How pretty is this shade? Seriously. I love it so much.

Marks & Spencer - Blue

Another classic that I've added to my collection recently. A baby blue is never far away from my nails.

Fearne Cotton - Lemon Drizzle

Yellow is one shade that I never used to like wearing, but as soon as the sun comes out, I always crave painting them a bright colour. Again, I think it's quite 'marmite' & sometimes I look at them & think they are horrible, but sometimes I love them! I really have a love / hate relationship with yellow nail varnish!

Fearne Cotton - Lemon Drizzle & Marks & Spencer - Silver Mix

Again, I was going through a 'they look too bright' stage & decided to add a bit of glitter & instantly fell in love with them again! What do you think?

How has May been for you lovelies? Sorry again for the lack of posts but I'm actually enjoying sitting & blogging when I feel like it, not when I have too. I'm lucky to say this is still a hobby for me, so I can take or leave it when I chose, which is how I like it to be.

What are your plans for the weekend? : )

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 #23

 

Primark - Un-named

First off is this bargain of a polish from Primark. Unfortunately it doesn't have a name, but was only 80p! The only thing I've found with Primark nail varnishes is they are a devil to remove, but this one wasn't too bad! Lovely colour to add to my collection.

 

Sally Hansen - Blue-Away

This is another new addition to my collection. It's such a perfect shade for Spring & is very long lasting on the nails. It's advertised as being a 'quick dry' polish & it really was! Perfect if you're in a rush for a night out.

 

Fearne Cotton - Coral Island

If you've been a follower of my blog for a while now, you know I can't resist a nail polish by the beautiful Fearne Cotton. Her range of colours are gorgeous. This coral colour is showing up a lot redder in the picture than it is on the nails, but it's a perfect shade for the warmer months.

 

Sinful Colors - Pink Forever

One of my absolute favourite shades. I decided this would be the perfect nail polish to wear on my nails (including toes!) when we went away to the Carey's Manor Hotel last weekend. (you can read all about our adventure here if you like!) It's a Barbie pink that lasts forever on the nails! Love it so much.

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #22

 

Fearne Cotton - Cotton Candy

Another gorgeous shade from Fearne's range. I love wearing pastel colours in the Spring / Summer & this one is the perfect shade. I was obsessed with lilac last year & it seems to have carried over into this year!

 

Orly - Harmonious Mess

Ah this colour, what can I say? I always feel like I've had a professional manicure when I wear this. It's such an effortless finish & looks beautiful on the nails.

 

Sinful Colors - Easy Going / Barry M - Nail art pen in pink & white

This was a spur of the moment nail art, but I like it. Can never go wrong with flowers in Spring time!

 

NYC - Mint Macaroon

& finally another favourite of mine. I used to wear this shade constantly & after rediscovering it a few weeks ago, it hasn't left my nails! I always find that the NYC polishes are a complete bargain, they last forever on the nails, even after two coats. Mine only slightly chipped after a week.

Nails #21

 

Fearne Cotton - Lady Grey

This polish is so beautiful. I feel like I'm a mermaid when I'm wearing it. It's very long-lasting on the nails & you only need a few coats to achieve this shade. I find some polishes like this take about 200 coats to achieve a non-watery consistency, but like I say, you only need a few coats of this one.

 

Fearne Cotton - Burnt Out

Another gorgeous shade from Fearne Cotton's collection & slightly more out of my comfort zone. I do wear all different colours on my nails, but orange is one I struggle with. This one is simply stunning. I can't say no to a sparkly polish!

 

Barbara Daly - Purple

This one is a proper stable colour for work. Our colour scheme is purple with a black & white uniform, so this does perfectly for every day wear.

 

Primark - PS Love Fashion Nails

Now, these are my first ever false nails. Yup, that's right. I've never applied false nails before, I've always done my own nail art. I bought these well over a year ago from Primark (along with some bright pink sparkly ones..) & they've finally seen the light of day! All thanks to Easter. So there we go, my first ever 'fake' manicure. And I love them. I've written a full post on these nails which you can read here if you're interested : )

  

I also wrote a post about my Easter adventures, which you can read here if you like. Our first lambs were born & we ate the biggest chocolate log you can imagine! : )

 

Hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend!
