Day 6

Violet Nails


*Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint - Prickly Pear.*
Which is the cutest name I've come across so far!

2 coats.


*Added Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint - Papaya. & Barry M Nail Effects Nail Paint - Gold Foil Effect*

This ^ was my final design. I just wanted something simple, but not so simple that it was boring! They were originally going to be diamonds but that took too long so I went with ovals instead. I actually quite like them, even though I can't get a good bloody photo of them! I don't know why, I blame the lighting. I'm going to make a lightbox soon :)

I loved the colours individually which is why I put them together, I know they're nothing special but sometimes you just don't have enough time!

I hope you all at least kind of like them, like I kind of do!

P.S: Here's a cute picture of my cat, who sat with me being ridiculously cute the whole time I was getting angry trying to take a decent picture of my nails! I never got one, but at least his face made me happy.


Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Hand and Cuticle Care


*Not a fantastic quality image - will update picture when I get the chance*

The Body Shop: Almond Hand and Nail Cream & Almond Nail and Cuticle Oil. 

I was recently asked on Tumblr:

"Could you do a post on how you do and maintain your cuticles please? Yours look so neat and I have no idea how to make mine look pretty!"

Truth be told, until recently, I literally did nothing. I very rarely pushed my cuticles back, only if I had hangnails and I never used creams or oils. Until I started work, where my hands and nails become quite dry and brittle. 

Because of that I brought these two products, that I have only recently started using.

First of all, they both smell beautiful! I love the smell, so that's always a bonus. Since I haven't been using them that long, I will update on them again later.

So far, they are both very nice products, keeping my hands soft and my cuticles, nails and skin all looking nice which is effectively the idea of the product - what more could I possibly want!

Day 5

Blue Nails


Revlon - Midnight Sapphire

I did these nails pretty quickly, since I haven't done any in so long I was just desps to do some!
I actually like how these come out on the middle finger and ring finger, the rest are a bit dodgy and I smudged the pointer by accident :(

I was inspired by this Cami top - which I'll probably end up buying when I get paid because I love it. I clearly love Topshop too much too, swear all my inspiration comes from there!

Anyway! I hope you like these kinda girly daisy theme nails!
