Nails of the week - Friday 14 February 2014

Hello Amigos! This week's Nails of the week is all about Claire's nail polishes, more specifically Galactic and Metallic Lavender. 

Metallic Lavender is a cross between a gentle Mauve shade with a splash of silver. I like my nail colour to be quite strong so I used my trusty Barry M - All in One as a base coat and followed up with two coats of Metallic Lavender and All in One as a top coat. This nail colour is perfect pastel shade to add to an outfit that consist of bright colour blocking.

Galactic injects fun and sparkle into a muted nail colour like Metallic Lavender. I would recommend that One coat of nail colour is needed if you plan on having a glitter polish on top as it chipped two days after application.

Earlier this year I fell in love with Matte nail polishes so I was really excited to try the Matte Top Coat from Claire's. The formula wasn't thick or difficult to work with and I felt my nails actually dried quicker so I didn't need to use a nail drying spray. Sadly after a month the consistency of it was stiff, thick (ha ha) like syrup.
My nails kept up for two to Three days before I had a chip which isn't the best but If you like change then it works to your advantage.

Claire's has a great selection of colours, polish effects and tools for producing nail art from the simple to complex. Price starts at £2.50 for polishes.

Link some some of your nail art or recommendations in the comments if you have any.
