Pastel tuesdays

Iphone camera pictures only. 

I keep seeing pastel ombre nails online and they are my favourite! I was hoping mine to be the same but unfortunately these aren't my favourite.

I used: Sally Hansen nail strengthener for the base (didn't have OPI with me) OPI - My boyfriend scales walls, Barry M - Berry ice cream, Essie - Mint Candy Apple, Essie - Fiji and Sally Hansen - UV top coat.

I really like the idea here but it just didn't turn out right for me. 

First, bubbles!! Why the bubbles?! My white OPI never does this, I'm thinking it's because I let them dry in the sun for about an hour, could this be why? 

I'm not sure on the colours used, I did set out to use a fourth colour but it didn't come out too good so I stuck to the three. 

I'm not usually a Barry M fan, I only have a few of their polishes but it works really well on the ombre, shows up well on white so I liked it for this.

The next time I try this - which will be in the next month I expect. I want to get a pastel yellow, test out the colours more and maybe add some studs to it.

I didn't have my Nikon with me today so these pictures will have to do, which isn't too upsetting because the bubbles aren't too much on show!

I won't be posting for a few days because I have an exam friday but will be back shortly!

Monochrome moon

I haven't done any dark colours in ages so about time. 
For this I used: OPI - my boyfriend scales walls, Rimmel, Black cab, Sally Hansen, top coat and Born Pretty Store glitter.

I always use those french mani tape strips to do half moons but they aren't good, so gloopy and muck it all up. Go free hand guys. I have finally learnt my lesson. Mine are a bit messy because of this but hopefully it hasn't ruined the mani. 
This is the first time I tried out Sally hansen top coat, it is so good, I definitely recommend! 
I'm back from uni for summer pretty much and back on the blogging game.
Until tomorrow... xox

May mani

 Can't get enough of sparkling up any colour with the born pretty glitter! 
Today I went for my new Crabtree & Evelyn polish - it is called Peony/Rose Delicat. And of course I love it ... It is a pale pink. I could wear pale pinks and whites everyday, always a safe option taking into account unprepared outfit days! 
I started off the day with just the polish on. Then I had a lecture break so obviously spent my time adding glitter. Can I just mention, I finished my first year of uni today... which means... more mani time! Anyway, I saw this design online ages ago and whoever had done it, had done it well! It's hard to get look right. I'm not completely loving my version. My nail shape is a little crazy recently maybe that contributes? Or it just did a bad job! 
I think I will be using this glitter again very soon.
Sorry for lack of posts - assignments due, exam season and all that!

My first Chanel eeeeek

 After years of sneaking into my mum's polish box using her Chanel's I finally got my own! 

I have wanted this colour for so long and I found it in the airport so couldn't not. Do you blame me though? The colour is gorgeous.

As you can see it is called May 535, a barbie pink colour. I took a picture both inside and out because natural light changes the colour. I think my nails are getting a little long for me - I don't want to have any horrific breaks, so next post they may be filed short short!

Anyway, it's a good job I'm not going shopping any time soon - I've been looking at the next colour on my wish list!
