Happy Red Nose Day!

Free Nails Inc polish with Marie Claire magazine

Just incase any of you weren't aware, there is a Nails Inc giveaway in Marie Claire's April addition - 

in the shops now. 

Sorry for the lateness telling you about it, I kept forgetting. 

I got three of the colours and then shared the magazines with my neighbours :-) 

Models Own Chrome collection

I recently bought a few colours from the 'Models Own' Chrome collection. I couldn't wait to try them, but I have to say that I was a little disappointed. Even though my nails were newly buffed and I used my fave basecoat, the colours still appeared streaky once applied. I found that the quicker you applied and the more polish you put on the better the result, but despite the fab wide brush, it still didn't look as I would have liked. This photo was the first time I'd applied them so I will try and try again, but this was my first experience of them. I haven't tried them for stamping, so will do that soon. Colours are from bottom to top - 'Chrome Rose'. 'Chrome Green', 'Chrome Gold' & 'Chrome Pink'.

Models Own 'Lilac Sheen' Spots with Soigné 'Ube'

Main colour Models Own Hyper Gel 'Lilac Sheen' Spots Soigné 'Ube' Finished with Orly Matte top coat.

Frozen style nails

Every child I come cross these days seems to be obsessed by the film 'Frozen', so I thought I'd have a go at 'Frozen' inspired nails. I quite like the finished product. I used a Matte Off White Nails Inc polish with a subtle shimmer called 'Dukes Yard' and then brushed on the streaks with a fine (well used) brush using Colour Club 'Blue Heaven' which is a pale blue holographic which works well in contrast to the white matte base. Here is the result.

PiCture pOlish 'Pirouette'

PiCture pOlish's 'Pirouette' is a micro holographic mid pink, it is gorgeous in any light where you can see tiny flecks of blue amongst the rose pink, but under a strong light or sunlight the jewel like holo comes to life. 

Here I have applied two coats which went on smoothly, I finished with top coat but then decided I actually prefer it without. This gorgeous polish is really wearable for every day, but would also be a stunning addition to any evening outfit.

Soigné 'Bleu de Gex' & Nails Inc 'Knightsbridge Place'

For todays nails I have used Soigné 'Bleu de Gex' as the base & topped off with the unusual Nails Inc 'Knightsbridge Place'
