Pretty & Polished – Day Trippin’ *picture heavy*

Another beauty that I found on Etsy !

Colour changing polishes are pretty popular at the moment, and Pretty & Polished have a range that change colour depending on temperature. I already did a guest post for Gin Shivers about DolliPop that you can find here, and today I’ve got Day Trippin’ to show you :)

April Challenge – Day 23 – Caviar

The shoulder’s finally feeling better, yay !

Double-yay, I have a really special mid-week guest post for you! Sabrina from the Polish Alcoholic wrote one for me. It’ll go up tomorrow, and I can’t tell you how excited I am about that. Since I have been nail blogging, I have been reading more and more other nail blogs, and I have a lot of respect for a lot of nail bloggers. But when it comes to Sabrina’s site, it goes beyond that, I turn into a proper fan girl. So please check it out tomorrow :)

Today’s mani for the challenge is caviar nails. I love caviar manis! For this one I mixed up some purple & pink beads and paired it with a metallic polish for contrast. I went for a half-moon motif, because that’s just about the only mani style I could think of that isn’t already on the challenge list !

And I think it looked pretty great :)

April Challenge – Day 9 – Plaid (Tartan)

Hi ladies,

This one caused me a bit of hassle, on two counts – (1) I had to google ‘plaid’ to work out what we needed to do :) sorry, but I live in France, where a ‘plaid’ is a blanket. Actually, I think we are supposed to do a tartan pattern. I hope so, anyway ! (2) my nail art pens wouldn’t work – I just couldn’t get an even flow. So please excuse the messiness of this mani !

I used mostly models own polish – the purple and the blue from the kaleidoscope box set :)

Catwalk-Inspired Nail Art

Since I’ve been getting more and more obsessed with nail art, I’ve also started venturing into the world of girlie magazines – Marie Claire, Be, Grazia and the like. I can’t remember for the life of me where I saw this look, but it was a catwalk feature, and this was in neutral colours. I love how simple but edgy this is, and think it looks great in bright metallics, too !

Pre-Spring Challenge Day 12 – Stripes

I do love dark nail polish, and I realised that I haven’t had a very dark mani in this challenge yet, so I grabbed one of my Christmas Box Sets that my boyfriend got me from Models Own and my Models Own Pro in black and got to work with the striping tape !

I’m so happy with how this one came out, though I did do it at the end of a long night, so admittedly was a bit slapdash – as my cuticles will confirm :

Day 12 - Stripes

The polishes all have a bit of a metallic sheen to them, and I just love how the flash brings that out :
