I don't often attempt a French Manicure because I know it'll end up in tears.
However, festivities got to me and I decided I'd give it a go, but with a Christmas twist. An earlier post saw me desperate for a metallic nail varnish - I thought I found 'the one' when I searched on Amazon, but when it arrived it was just a boring, plain silver. Not really what I'd hoped for. After weeks of sitting aimlessly in my drawer, it suddenly became useful.
I used my Accessorize nail polish for the base and the 'boring, plain silver' for the tip.
I am pleasantly suprised with how it turned out; subtle, chic and pretty. It's festive...but not too festive (red, green, gold, pine needles sprinkled on top sort of thing)
On another Christmassy note...
- The tree is up and decorated (although I was blissfully unaware that the tree had fallen over until this morning...).
- After anticipation, it finally decided to snow today. Not too happy about this however, it's ok for a day, but then it turns to slush and it's not pretty anymore.
- Elf was on the T.V the other night, one of my favourite Christmas films!
What is everyone doing to get in the Christmas mood this year? I'd love to hear :)
I know, I know...I'm behind with the whole 'nude nail craze', however it never appealed to me having nail varnish that looked like...well, nothing.
When I paint my nails, It has to look obvious. It has to look like I have something on otherwise I feel bare. I am aware that that is weird.
So when I picked up this baby from Accessorize, I was reluctant to give it a go, especially considering it is practically my skin colour.
However, I have decided I like. Although not completely sure of what to call this colour.
Lasting power? Check
Opaque in two coats? Check
*cue bad description*
Definitely effortless chic, it looks as if I have been lazy with my nails, yet makes them look naturally amazing.
I'm going to buy myself a couple of bottles because I know this is my new staple nail colour.
Dwelling on the past....and suffering from the summer blues, especially with the bi-polar weather we are suffering from here in the UK.
I went on an American road trip in the summer, visiting L.A, Santa Barbara, Las Vegas, Pheonix, Palm Springs etc. It was amazing and I want to go back!
Before we flew out, I felt the need to get in the American spirit...
I got these acylic nails which the technician and I just made up as we went along, but thankfully it turned out ok! (Apart from the fact that my bum went numb after sitting down for 2 and a half hours...ouch!)
I'd love to have acylic nails all the time - wouldn't we all? But they are expensive and do damage the nail. Which is a shame because they look amazing!
