NOTD: My Favoute Ornament and My Vampire is Buff

My Dogsled is a Hybrid: NOTD Comparison

NOTD: Rose of Light and My Vampire is Buff

After just getting back from holiday my nails needed a bit of tlc, and fresh manicure. My Vampire is buff is an off white cream, and looks great on all skin tones, especially of you have a tan, and Rose of Light is a mixture of yellow and rose gold circular glitter, with small squares of iridescent, holographic glitter, it's beautiful! 

It's just what my nails needed after a week away. 

What have you got on your nails now?

Summer Nail Polish Picks

Summer for me means bold and bright colours, so in summer I tend to stick to neons and creme finish polishes rather than glitters. Here are a selection I plan on getting a lot of use out of this summer!

NOTD: OPI Life Gave Me Lemons

This is my first foray into the world of yellow nail polish, and a daring one at that. Life Gave Me Lemons is from this year's OPI neon collection, which I currently only have in the mini's but after testing them out, am planning on buying a fair few of them in the full size. This yellow is a bright neon, highlighter yellow, though it does have a slight lime green undertone in certain lights. I was worried this wouldn't suit my skin tone, but I am so happily surprised by how this looks! I'm in love!

For those not in the US or North America where OPI is fairly easy to get your hands on, I would definitely suggest looking on Amazon and ebay, it makes them so much easier (and cheaper) to get your hands on!

NOTD: You're Such A Budapest

OPI You're Such a Budapest is a light periwinkle purple with very subtle shimmer in it. It's such a flattering spring shade which looks amazing on both the hands and feet.

Hope you're having a great day.

Spring Nail polish picks

Spring means it's time for pinks and purples. Out with dark colours and in with the bright.  Here's a few of my favourites for this spring.

NOTD: Chasing Rainbows

I recently treated myself to a new glitter polish, OPI's Chasing Rainbows was a polish I knew I needed the moment I saw swatches to it, and it didn't let me down. 

It's a dupe for Rainbow Connection from the previous Muppets Christmas collection, and is packed full of multi-sized rainbow coloured glitter. 

I applied one coat over OPI Live.Love.Carnaval from the new Brazil collection and I love it!

Valentines Day Nail polish picks

Even if you don't have any special plans for Valentines Day there's always the time for nice nails, and nothing says Valentines better than pink and red nails, and here are my valentines nail polish picks.

OPI Innie Minnie Mighty Bow

This is a frosted red with a silver shimmer throughout and is opaque in only one coat. 

OPI Live.Love.Carnaval

This is a bright pink coral, perfect for valentines day and one that will be perfect for the spring and summer. 

OPI Kiss Me I'm Brazilian

This polish is a bright, almost neon pink, which applies evenly in only two coats. 

OPI I Theodora You

This is a sheer milky pink colour, which applies evenly so it can be worn in a thin layer, or opaque with three coats, for a subtle, elegant look. 

OPI Steady As She Rose

This polish is a unique rosey lavender cream polish, which looks very natural and flattering on the nails. This polish is discontinued but it is fairly easy to find on Amazon or Ebay. 

OPI You're Such A Budapest

This is one of my favourite OPI nail polishes, and as a light lilac with very, very subtle shimmer in it, and is an amazing spring and summer colour which looks amazing on both the nails and the toes. 

Essie Splash Of Grenadine 

After my favourite OPI comes my favourite Essie polish. Splash of Grenadine is a magenta, fuchsia pink which I think is flattering on a lot of skin tones, and looks amazing throughout the spring and summer. 

Essie Watermelon

This polish is exactly what the name says, it's a beautiful, bright Watermelon pink/red. 

Happy Valentines Day

My Perfect Christmas Nail Picks

This Christmas I have found the two perfect festive glitter polishes, both of which I have been wearing almost non-stop this month.

The first is from OPI's recent Mariah Carey Holiday collection. My Favorite Ornament is a white gold, small cut glitter, which is opaque in two or three coats. This polish looks even better on than in the picture, and I catch myself staring at my nails every time I wear it, and it lasts for almost a week with minimal chipping on me.

The second nail polish was from last years winter collection. Essie's Leading Lady is a red glitter with a darker red base. The only down side to this polish is that the jelly-like base of the polish can lead to it peeling and chipping after a few days on the nails.

I hope everyone is having a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
