Orange, blue and purple mish mash

Lol - couldn't think of anything more suitable for this manicure than mish mash - it's another 90's tastic concoction, a bit MTV, a bit tribal:) 

 I really couldn't think what I wanted to do, so I made this up as I went along; I selected three of my favourite colours and then - hey presto! 

All the colours are Barry M - Block Orange, Bright Purple and Cyan Blue. I love how juicy the orange looks, makes me feel like summer is already here! 

Pink and gold leopard print mash up

Happy Easter peeps:) I hope you've been enjoying lots of chocolaty eggs and time with your family. I have:) I'm not a big Easter person, so didn't bother doing any special Easter nails, instead I went with my traditional favourite mani - leopard print! Honestly, I'd do it everyday if I could. So here it is...........again:)

The gorgeous pink is Elizabeth Street by Nails Inc. I got it free with Glamour magazine a while ago, thought "oooh that's pretty" and then ignored it! I'm so glad I stumbled across it again the other day, it's beyond amazing - delicate and sugary, like a yummy sugared almond.

The glitter is Barry M gold Glitter, a total star.

Have a brilliant Easter Monday guys x

Grey and purple stripy-ness!

Ahhhhh, I love it when a plan comes together! I decided to simply pick two of my favourite polishes and go where the mood took me; this is the result:) 

The above are my current favourite polishes; Rimmel Grey Matter and Accessorize Electric Purple. Both give a dense, full colour, ideal for this manicure. I painted the stripes over with my fantabulous Models Own nail pen.

Happiness is a stripy manicure:)

Black and white stripes over Blue My Mind

Hey hey, sorry about the rubbish title for this post, couldn't think of a better way to describe my latest effort:) This design is nicked from the WAH Book of Nails, I've been wanting to do it for ages, and I'm so chuffed with the colour scheme.

The blue is Blue My Mind by H&M, the white is Matt White by Barry M and the black is my trusty striper from Models Own. Is there any design that this blue doesn't look good in? 

Swatch - Accessorize Bumblebee

Hey peeps - urgh, I'm hanging, so I'll keep this short and sweet. I have for your delectation today a gorgeous  orange polish: I never thought I'd type that, orange is hardly my favourite colour to have on my nails. But this Accessorize speckle polish is lovely, really warm and delicious looking. The name Bumblebee is adorable as well.

This was a very sheer colour, so I popped it over a base or Barry M Block Orange, but afterwards I wished I hadn't. Block orange is very bright, whereas Bumblebee is a delicate, pumpkin-y colour. Next time I wear this polish I'll wear it on it's own, even if there is VNL - I love it that much!

The polish is spliced with matt black glitter, and creates a beautiful speckle - hence the name:) 

speckly:)

Swatch - 2True Glitterati - Shade 5

Ahhhhhhhhhhh 2True - you are too good to me:) Whilst perusing the MASSIVE stand of polishes in Edinburgh Superdrug (shout out!) I found this baby - eeeeeeeeep! lol:) It's a clear polish filled with various sized blue and green glitter hexes. I really love it, even though it's a really simple polish. 2True: you've done it again! 

I really love how good this looks over Models Own In the Navy, a gorgeous polish in it's own right. Like Shade 5, it's easy to apply and dries quickly:) 

Swatch - Sally Hansen Gem Crush - Big Money

I'm going to make an odd confession - I fell in love with the shape of the bottle before the colour of the polish:) This was another Edinburgh find and was staring at me as I walked in the shop. 

I love the combination of gold and lilac, it's so subtle yet so striking. It's incredibly dense - this is three coats, and there's no VNL (always important to moi!) so I'm happy. The gold glitter is very fine so the lilac hexes mix and intersperse well, meaning you don't get clumps of purple. 

Oddly, this is a subtle polish - the lilac needs to be seen up close really, but gives a pinky glow to the polish from afar, very pretty. Enjoy the rest of your week peeps x x x
