The Nails This Week - Glossy Multi Coloured Nails.

Today I wanted to so something out of the ordinary and mix up the colours I go for and try out some designs too. I saw a similar nail design while shopping for neon/ pastel polishes (naturally) and thought I knew a rookie way to create it myself.

DIY:

1. Applied base coat to nails.

2. Outlined boxes with Black nail marker 

3. Filled in boxes carefully with polish (a toothpick or dotting tool is very handy to spread out colour).

4. Re outlined the boxes with Black nail marker.

5. Applied top coat and to speed up the drying process I used I nail drying spray.

I think using similar shade of green and then adding either a darker or lighter shade gives it a fresh feeling. 

I messed up quite a lot but I'm quite chuffed I did something new and I can't wait to share my ideas with you all. 

Thanks for popping by,

Nails of the Week - Friday 7th March 2014

Hello blog lovers!

Hope you've all been having a great week. I did a bit of a vanishing act this week but I'm back at it so let's me share with you the NOTW!

This week I've been love the nude nails by Topshop.  When I said nude I really wasn't lying as this sexy, light wash of Brown is called Naked and it's number is 101! Coincidence, I think not as I didn't even have to use my trusty Barry M - All in one as base coat to pull off the flawless look but I did use it as a Top coat for extra added shine. The shade is quite light compared to my hands but I think the colour is very complementary to all. Naked reminded me of the colour Rihanna was wearing for the Loud album art.

It was super easy to apply to my nails, glided on with ease. I applied Two coats and then a top coat followed by a nail drying spray as it was taking a while on it's own.

As always, the packaging is cute and stands out from everything in my draw (it's the only Topshop polish I own) and after having it for over Six months, it hasn't turned into a gloopy mess as most of the polishes I own do.

I've been trying out a little nail art  this week so hopefully I'll start posting something other than NOTW.

Thanks for stopping by and have great weekend,

Nails of the Week - Friday 7 February 2014

 

Hey Folks, a quick little ramble about a new nail colour I picked up this week by Sinful Colors in the shade Dancing Nails.

I used All in One by Barry M as a base coat and top coat and the two coats glided onto the nail with ease, drying super quick so no need to use dry nail spray.

I adore this beautiful  Rose Gold colour teeny tiny flecks of glitter so small I think my eyes are playing tricks on me. Nonetheless it catches the light gently, adding a gentle pop of colour to an outfit.

Dancing Nails has been the colour of the week and with that comes all manner of tasks to be taken care of.
These two managed to hold it together fantastically throughout the week. I'm not say that I didn't have a few chips here and there but who doesn't, eh? Reapplication was always smooth and dried in no time which is the best for those last minute fixes. For the most part the formulas held to my nails as if I wasn't wearing anything at all.

Tell me what your favourite nail colours are in the comment box, I'd love to check them out. x


With Love

Dawn
