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 #13

 

Hello lovelies!

 

I thought we were over due a nail post, so here are a few I've been wearing over the past few months.

 

Top left: Sinful Colors - Pink Forever & Barry M - Silver Glitter.

Now these were my birthday nails! I have to admit, I go over the top with pink & glitter when it's my birthday.. & not just on my nails.. I mean everything! I love doing the 'dip-dye' effect with a glitter polish, just adds that little something extra.

 

Top right: NYC - Mint Macaroon & L'Oreal - Confetti.

Not sure what the occasion was for these nails but I think they are perfect for Easter. They remind me of a speckled egg!

 

Bottom left: Accessorize - Blackberry.

Not very appropriate as we're coming into Spring & now the weather has transformed here in the UK, but I can't seem to get enough of this shade.

 

Bottom right: Barry M - Silver Glitter.

These were my nails for Dave & Debbie's wedding last month. I had a dark red dress with silver accessories so this varnish matched perfectly. It's one of my favourites. Unlike most glitter polishes, it's so easy to remove. You don't have to sit there for hours soaking & scrubbing your nails in varnish remover! Perfect as I find that one of the most frustrating things ever!

I'm about to go have a rummage in my collection for some pastels now as the sun has come out! : )

Recent Nail Art #4

NYC - Mint Macaroon & L'Oreal - Confetti

Confetti is one of my favourite topcoats at the moment. It's so beautiful & goes on top of any base colour & makes it look stunning. I get so many compliments & questions about it, it really is such a unique polish to have. 



Barry M - Peach Melba & Models Own Nail Art Pen - White

Ah, yet again more polka dots & seeing as it's Spring, pastel polka dots! This shade by Barry M was massive last year & I think it'll stay a statement polish for this year too. Adding the polka dots just makes it more feminine & cute.



Accessorize (no name!) & Models Own - Ibiza Mix

This was such a random combination, I wasn't sure whether to include it in this post as I only kept it on for a couple of days! Ibiza Mix is such a pain to get off, despite being so pretty! What colour do you use as a base coat to style multi-coloured glitters?



Jessica - Sky High

And finally my current nails. Last Christmas, my boyfriend bought me a voucher for a classic manicure at a local beauty salon. I'd been saving it up for Spring so I went in last Thursday & got my hands & fingers totally pampered for 45 minutes. I can't rave about this shade enough, it's beautiful. I obviously have blues in my nail polish collection, but none like this. It's an absolutely gorgeous pastel blue & so far I've only had a slight chip on one index finger. I've been trying to preserve it as much as I can so the boy can see it now he's back from Africa!

Hey lovelies. : )

 

If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you'll know I paint my nails alot. I love coming up with designs & themes, so I thought I'd put together some of my recent nails for you to see.

 



NYC Mint Macaroon & Models Own nail art pen in white



I love polka dot nails. There's something so simple & elegant about them & they are so easy to do. I love the pastel colours, especially as we're now heading into Spring, so I picked up this green the other day along with a clear top coat from NYC. I've never really looked at their shades before, they do some quite pretty ones.

 

No7 Me! Me! Me! Barbara Daly White & Models Own art pen in white & pink

Now obviously these were themed for Valentines day! The original plan for these nails were a red base coat & white polka dots, but sadly I found my faithful Barry M red had complete dried up & died over the Winter months, so pink it was. (Matched my toes, so I couldn't complain!) Again, I used polka dots as they are just too cute & a heart, for obvious Valentine reasoning!



Models Own Utopia & Primark glitter top coat

These are my current nails. I love Utopia, it has to be one of my absolute favourite nail varnishes I own. Any sort of glitter goes well as a top coat but it looks stunning by itself as well. The glitter top coat I'd forgotten I had.. I got it from Primark in a set of four for Christmas (I've thrown the box away & there isn't a name on the pot - sort it out Primark!) It's a gorgeous glitter though, made up of blue & pink sparkles. I can already tell it's going to be a pain to remove though..
