Sunshine silver

First of all, sorry for my lack of posts this week, I've been working on a new exciting nail related business idea.
The products I used for this design was; OPI - Natural Base, Essie - Mint Candy Apple and LA colors. I used striping tape purchased from ebay to create to perfect line. 
I really like this design, the colours work well together and I think it is quite subtle but turns a plain mani into a little bit more of an arty one. 
As for the polishes; this Essie colours is amongst my favourites in my whole nail polish collection (a fair few) it dries really quickly with an even coat and is the perfect pastel colour for the summer months. I am also liking this LA colors silver more and more. I was unsure at first because it wasn't the most expensive polish but it works great and is pretty easy to remove - always a bonus with glitter colours.

Celebrate with Sally

 I have finished uni for summer! Yay! 
So, I decided I wanted I do a very bright summery colour. However, of course in sunny old England, it rained. Photographic evidence below. 

For this simple mani I used: OPI - natural base, Sally Hansen - Kook a mango, Sally Hansen - top coat. And the born pretty store glitter. I am also trying Sally's Vitamin E Oil. So far so good with it - it has a lot in the bottle so worth the price.
As you may or may not know, I'm not a fan of red polish typically but this one is an orangey red and is very pretty. I don't like the brushes on Sally's polishes, they are way too big for my nails which ends in a lot of clean up. Nevertheless, the finish of the polishes is great. The colour also looked great against my tartan shirt. 
I am doing some work experience over the next few weeks so my mani's will be mostly swatches and simples. Acrylic paints will be out as soon as!

Purchase your born pretty store glitter in the link below to create this look.
