Nude of the day........

Today's nail of the day is bought to you by L.A Colors (I just want to correct it to colours!!)

Sorry about the cuticles!!

Shade: French Nail Creme (NP356)

A very nice nude, very flattering. What you are seeing is the result of 4 shades but I think 2-3 is sufficient I just liked applying this so much. For those of you that aren't familiar with this brand it is simply amazing. Polishes are 99p(!) there is a MASSIVE variety of colors!!!

I've always bought mine at PAKS or afro-Caribbean hair shops but I have seen these in the Westfield in Stratford in a shop called Beauty Bay which is on the Lower Ground floor near Starbucks, Deichman etc (Impressive or plain sad?)

They also do make up, which I haven't tried yet but will eventually get around to...

What do you think of this shade? Have you tried L.A Colors

NOTD: Nicole by Opi - Its all about the glam

This was part of a limited edition Kardashian Kollection by Nicole for Opi. I wasn't too fussed when I first saw it on ASOS but as with all LE now that it is hard to find I want it! The colour is a milky white with a fine purple/pink shimmer that runs through. The bottle is different to the typical opi shape we are used to and the formula is sheer but buildable. It took four coats to get it to what you see in the pictures but it does dry pretty quickly between coats.This was an Ebay purchase from this seller  it is also available from this seller

 

I have my eye on kim-pletely in love which is similar to this but pink. Laura from Secret diary of a fashion journalist reviewed it here

What do you think of this colour? Will you be buying this?

Base: Opi nail envy
Polish: Opi Sparrow me the drama
Topcoat: Seche vite

I love this colour I tend to have a lot of bright pinks or pastel pinks this is somewhat different. This took 3 coats , the formulation is not the best I found it to be a bit streaky even after 2 coats. I can't vouch for drying time as I use SV.

What do you think?

NOTD

Barry M nail varnish in 279 Bright Pink

NOTD - polka dots

My first attempt at dotting. Didn't have a dotting tool so just used a broken biro as a sustitute. Didn't take me very long next time I'm going to try this with black & white or red & black a la ladybird. I am also thinking of trying out watecolour nails..anyway here's what I used:

BASE: BF Nail lacquer in 52 99p from Paks (any neon pink will do - this was a fab bargain!)

DOTS: Rimmel lasting finish in 080 Black cab - I love these varnishes ..the brushes are perfect and they are surprisingly resilient. I did buy this well over a year ago but think these are about 3.99 in Boots

TOP COAT: Seche Vite

What do you think of nail art? What colour combinations would you use?

NOTD (Sort of)

Just a quick NOTD...kinda my nails were painted like this but ended up picking it off so have patchy, sad nails .

The picture doesn't really do it justice.

I used Barry M 317 Blue Moon, Rimmel Lasting Finish 500 Disco Ball and Seche Vite top coat.
