Summer Sorbet

27th March 2012

Leave a comment

I normally avoid pastel polishes like the plague but the recent flux of summer weather has me buying them left right and centre! It’s not that I have a particular dislike for pastels but my disposition lends me to darker, moody colours.

I picked up these two BYS polishes today in the £1 bucket and I wasn’t expecting to love the peach as much as I do. I only picked it up to push myself out of my comfort zone a little and now I might not return there until the weather turns bad. The brighter colour, Purple Rain is one I’ve had before (many years ago) and I wore the hell out of it until it was a globby, unusable mess and I had to bin it so I was chuffed to find a bottle in the sale.

Hit the jump for more pictures. There are a lot today!

Here are some swatch pictures of BYS Pretty As A Peach. This is 3 coats with a top coat of NYC In A New York Minute.

I’m not used to wearing such pale colours and I just fell in love with this on my nails so I had to snap a few pictures.

Would You Believe Me?

3rd February 2012

If I told you I haven’t worn nail polish for four whole days?! Well it’s the truth, and that’s definitely the longest I’ve gone naked-nailed for at least 3 years! The main reason I never leave the house without polish on my nails is because they were so stained from years of wearing it daily. I sat down on Sunday with a buffing block after witnessing the removal of yellow staining using the buffing method and I finally got rid of all the yellow. My nails are now stain free and ready to see the sunshine.

I’ve been doing some decorating this week (the reason for my long absence), alongside neglecting my nails for a few days so they’ve taken a bit of a battering and I’ve been forced to cut them quite short but I actually really like having super short nails!

I Try

Well today’s been busy considering I had a lovely lie in and didn’t wake up until the afternoon! I spent most of the day tidying and cleaning so I’ll be in love with my bedroom for a little while until it starts getting messy again!

I filmed two YouTube videos this evening but my computer is rejecting both of them. They start playing but at a certain point, the software just gives in and shuts down. This has happened with 2 videos I filmed in the past as well which leads me to think the videos are corrupted. It’s très frustrating and I’m thinking I might have to get a new camcorder 🙁

This is a design you’ve probably seen from me before but it’s one that I wear all the time because it’s so simple and elegant, yet it always gets so may ‘Ooooh’s from people!

You may know that Cult Nails are running a nail art competition at the moment (details here) and I entered a mani I did a little while back. It would be great if you could vote for me by clicking here. All you have to do is ‘like’ the photo and you’ll be entered for the chance of winning a prize too!

12 Days of Christmas Nails: Day 5… This Old Thing

10th December 2011

1 Comment

Today’s Christmas nails are inspired by the always favourite tacky Christmas jumper! Enjoy!

I used Barry M Raspberry as my base colour then shuffled through all my plates to find some Christmassy designs and settled on Bundle Monster plates BM205 and BM14 stamped with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Whirlwind White.

I used white acrylic paint for the little details and also to colour in a few of the stamped designs to make them ‘pop’!

I have a job!

1st December 2011

Leave a comment

I started a new job this week as a retail assistant in HMV. For my first day, I painted my nails to match the uniform and I thought I’d do a quick post to show you!

From a conversation I had on Twitter, I gather that HMV definitely exists in Singapore, Canada and obviously here in the UK, but there are no stores in the USA so apologies if you don’t recognise the imagery!

I used A-England Lancelot* as a base. For the lettering and logo, I used white acrylic paint and Nails Inc Shoreditch. The lettering was all done with a dotting tool. My pinky is a stamp from Bundle Monster plate BM225 using Sally Hansen Chrome Anemone.
