I bought this nail polish years ago from Avon so it is discontinued now (but you can still buy it from ebay – the shade is Teal Waters). I remember being disappointed by the colour as it didn’t look the same as in the catalogue but it’s still a nice colour. My nails have been a bit stained from all the dark polishes I’ve been wearing lately so I decided to try and look after my nails a bit and go with a lighter colour. Do you like it?
When I painted my nails last week I was just experimenting really but I quite liked the end result so decided to keep it for a few days. I used four colours; a yellow from 17, Stand Back from the Stay Perfect No7 range and Purple Dream and Dark Purple Glitter from elf.
Which is your favourite design?
I’ve been a busy bee this week – my dissertation is due on Tuesday! Of course, I still made time to do my nails….. Nail Inc Victoria and Albert topped with gold glitter. Do you like it?
Sorry for my lack of posts over the last few weeks. My dissertation is due in in just over a week so I’ve been working non stop on that! Here’s how I wore my nails last week - Ink A Dink A Pink from Nicole by OPI topped with the Nubar Polka Dot top coat. I rarely wear bright pink nail varnish but I really like how bright and summery this looked. What do you think?
Just thought I’d show you my Easter themed nails….. The yellow blobs are supposed to be chicks but everyone seems to think that they are lions?!?!
This week I’m wearing a 17 crackle polish which I really like. A few weeks ago I tried the black 17 crackle with gold glitter but didn’t really get on with it. This one is much better and the crackles worked really well! I’m wearing it over an elf polish called teal and I think the combination looks really good.
I think this is one of my favourite designs I’ve worn, it’s so bright and summery!
I used my new yellow 17 polish for the base with Nubar Vogue Vert, Elf Purple Dream and Body Collection Crystal Suede in Midnight Blue on the tips. I topped the tips with Nubar Hologram Glitter. Do you like it?
Last week I bought two crackle polishes from 17 as part of the three for two offer in Boots. I don’t own any other crackle polishes so this is the first time I’ve ever used it and I managed to make a bit of a mess. The one I’m wearing this week (over Miners Plum) doesn’t have a name but is a black crackle with gold glitter. I’m not sure if all crackle polishes are the same but this one seems quite thick and gloopy and I don’t think I ended up applying the right amount to get good crackles! On some nails it didn’t seem to crackle very well at all! I love the shine this polish has in the light from the glitter but my nails don’t look great up close – I think I’ll get better at applying crackle polish with practice though! I took these photos on the second day of wearing the polish and there was already some tip wear which was a little disappointing.
What do you think of the colour? Is there a special way to use crackle polish that I’m missing?!
I realise that I’m pretty late to the leopard print bandwagon but here’s my attempt just the same! I’m not entirely sure I like the colour combination but I’m quite impressed that I managed to get the spots looking as neat as they do, although next time I’d like to get the spots a little smaller. My left hand isn’t as neat as the right (I’m left handed!) but I think with practice I’ll get better……
If you’re interested, the colour I’ve used are Nail Inc Warwick Avenue for the base with Miners Plum and No7 Stay Perfect Stand Back for the spots.
It seems like recently I’ve mainly been posting NOTWs so I’ll do my best to find the time to get some more interesting posts written up – who’d have thought I’d have so much work to do in my final year!!!!
Recently I’ve only been wearing bright coloured nail varnish so I thought I’d go for something a bit more simple this time. I’m wearing a Rimmel 60 Seconds polish called Ethereal. It’s a subtle pink shimmer which has peach tones in some lights. I’m only wearing one coat here but I really like it!
