Lately I have been painting my nails quite regularly to brighten up my day (damn this depressing weather!) I wish the sun would come out and shine properly or that it stopped raining!
Anyways so yes I have been trying out more of my nail polishes lately because:
1. I am trying to make use of the colours I have as I continuously keep purchasing colours to my collection :S
2. I like to experiment with different combinations and looks :)
I have bought quite a few nail polishes recently through the various offers that have been on and vouchers I have received. Below is the collection I have purchased within the last 2-3 months. I have tended to sway towards more pastel-summery colours. I also took the plunge, after being wowed by designs on the 'Wah Nails' website I bought the 'Models Own and Wah Nails' Nail art pen in White ( I felt I would use white more out of all the colours available).
L - R: No7 Cheeky Chops, So Simple, Rimmel 60 Seconds Princess Pink, Rimmel I Love Strawberry Fizz, Misty Jade, Miss Sporty Electric Blue and Models Own/Wah Nails Nail Pen in White.
Cheeky Chops is a recent purchase after I had 2 No7 vouchers and was unsure of what to purchase as I had already stocked up on my absolute favourite lip liner in Nude. I reviewed it online through a number of blogs and thought it was quite a pretty shade. I have yet to try it so will update when I have.
So Simple is a re-purchase and honestly the perfect nude nail colour. It has such a subtle shimmery finish which you barely notice and is lovely for day to day wear.
Princess Pink was purchased to use a natural manicure shade. I usually opt for a peach shade for a natural manicure but I was keen to try pink. It is quite pretty on and really enhances your nails.
Strawberry Fizz reminds me of Barbie pink :) I used it 2 weeks ago to do a manicure and I love it. It is vibrant but not the tacky kind as it has more of a pink pastel base.
Misty Jade is an amazing colour in the bottle and on the nails ( that is after about 3-4 coats). I am not impressed with the formula and consistency of this polish as it is quite watery and very streaky. I painted my nails with 3 coats and it could have done with one more but I decided not too. Such a shame but it is a gorgeous green and will look fab on tanned skin :)
Electric Blue was a recent purchase afte many a time I picked it up and popped it into my basket and then decided not to purchase at the til. Yes indecisive I know! It wasn't until I read an old post on Bubblegarm's blog and saw Muhsine's swatches that I knew I had to buy (Thank you Muhsine!). It looks really amazing on and it really is a different kind of blue again with a more cool toned pastel base. I have yet to try on properly so will update when I have!
Nail Art Pen - so I had been umming and aahing about whether or not to purchase this as nail art does take time and I didn't want to buy and then it takes place in the back of my drawer :S After looking at Wah Nails website and some nail art blogs online I decided to buy and I have been enjoying using it so far. It is quite easy to use there is pin type nib for fine and intricate designs and then a paintbrush in the bottle which is for thicker line designs. I think it is because I have finished my studies and because I have not secured a teaching post for September I am pretty much free, there fore I have A LOT of spare time!
Okay so moving on below are a few pics of the nail polishes/design I have used within the last 3 weeks. I am still currently wearing Rimmel Misty Jade with a 'Ring Finger' nail art design :)
