Nail Art: Polka Dot Time

Quick nail of the day from me today! I decided to put some polka dots over my Essie Watermelon polish. I recently spoke of my interest in nail art so I thought I should start off easy!

polka dotty :)

My first Essie polish!!

I finally achieved my goal of owning an Essie nail polish! I was strolling (I love to stroll) through Shaws yesterday and out of the corner of my eye I spied the Essie stand. I turned a very abruptly 90 degrees towards the stand. So abruptly that even another shopper turned to see what had got me so excited. She too spent ages and ages picking out polishes. Sooo many colours and they are all arranged by shade. Heaven!

Yes! It really is Essie!

Nails of the Week

This was my first nail colour this week. Purple! I got this in Penney's about 2 years ago. Glo Baby Glo. It's meant to glow under UV but I don't tend to venture near UV lights!

It needed to 2 coats to be classified as a deep purple. It doesn't look it here but it was a bit darker than Cadbury's purple.
The polish went on easy enough and wasn't messy. No doubt it was cheap enough so I can have no complaints here!

I was bored one night and when organising my nail polishes (might do a post on that!). I found my Rimmel - Flower Power. It's a very very very light shimmer pink. I decided to see what it would be like over the Glo Baby Glo purple.

Nails of the Week: Oldies

I wanted to try out some nail polishes I haven't used in a while.

First up was Barry M's Lemon. Mmmh, I know now why I haven't used it lately. It is so watery. I wasn't happy at all so then I decided to put H&M's Cracked Nail Polish over it to umph it up a bit. I think it did the trick. I love the colour of the Lemon but I'd rather a polish be thick than watery. I love other Barry M polishes but this one was just not up their usual standard.

Nails of the Week: Model's Own

Hello! I know I'm not very good at these nail posts but I promise to try and get better! Anyway here's what I wore this week. 

I won this bottle of Model's Own Hedonist from Saira at The Girl With The Green Nails. I have been a long time admirer of Model's Own and couldn't believe I'd finally get to try it out. I love love love this. The colour is so me. I love bright neony colours and this is certainly bright! You probably can't see the neon but trust me. I think it's the brightest polish I have ever seen. It has quickly become one of my favourites :) I only used one coat because it is very thick, which means being careful as is it did tend to get a little messy but believe me it's worth it. 

I know it's winter and we're 'meant' to be wearing darker, neutral colours but I never go with trends. I just wear what I want. This is more a summer shade but I do not care. I'm gonna brighten up our dark, dull winter with this blinding dose of colour!

Nails of the Week

In the past week, I have painted my nails twice.

The first colour is No. 23 from Bourjois 10 Days Nail Enamel Collection. I didn't think I was going to like the colour but after a few days I loved it. It's a soft pastel pink as opposed to the bright bold pinks I prefer. I also only wore it for about 6 days but I must say it did last very well.
