Golden Girl

Today I decided to treat myself to a copy of Cosmo. I always experience inner turmoil when it comes to buying a magazine that costs as much as Cosmo. But the fact that this months edition came with nail polish made it easy to decide!! the possible colours were pink, orange and yellow, so i searched for a magazine with the yellow polish. I have a few Missguided Nail polishes, all from previous editions of Cosmo and they are always good quality. I was disappointed when I saw that this polish was sparkly i was a bit disappointed as I do prefer matte colours...but after trying it out I decided I liked it. The colour is a lot more yellow in real life, it looks really gold in the picture :/

Peppermint Stripes

This is my first attempt at any kind of nail art. If I paint my nails it’s normally just one colour, nothing special. But seeing as I have been ill for a few days and haven’t wanted to take any pictures I decided I would try something simple with my nails.

I have wanted some white nail polish for a while but still haven’t been into town to get any, so I found this white polish from an old manicure set. It worked pretty well but just in case, does anybody know of a good brand that does a nice white polish?

Button moon is one of my favourite Collection 2000 Hot Looks colours so I wear it a lot. I love the minty colour and I thought pairing it with the white would look nice. Reminds me of a pair of shorts I must get when I get some money (though there may be no point with the weather we are having here in England!).

Happy Colours! NOTD

Button Moon//Hoola Hoop//Lemon Soda//Teeny Bikini//Fruit Loop

Today I am in such an excitable mood, so I thought rather than just using one nail colour I would use five. All of the colours are from Collection 2000's 'Hot Looks' range. I couldnt help buy them as they seemed to be on special offer everywhere! I picked up two from Superdrug for £3 and 3 for £5 from Wilkinsons! I wanted to use Mint Mojo (featured here) but couldnt find it so used Fruit Loop (which is the colour on my pinky finger).

Collection 2000 'HotLooks' in Mint Mojo NOTD

I originally planned to post this tomorrow but yesterday I went shopping yet again and bought three new ‘Hot Looks’ nail polishes! So I decided to try and put up nail posts more often so that I can start to try and do some nail art (trust me it won’t be pretty but I’ll give it a try).

I really wanted a mint green nail polish and as I’m all for cheap and cheerful I went for Collection 2000’s ‘Hot Looks’ nail polish in the colour ‘Mint Mojo’. I applied three coats on my nails to achieve this colour, and I do like it but I am a little disappointed, I was hoping it would be a bit brighter. My nephew said I had bogie fingers when he saw the colour...how lovely.

Pastel Perfection

being arty while the weather is nice :P

Hooray more pastel colours! Today while catching up with a friend and sifting through the shops in town I decided that other than new clothes I was also allowed to buy some more nail polish!

This morning while reading some other beauty blogs I saw Marie Loves had wrote about the colour ‘Button Moon’ from Collection 2000’s ‘Hot Looks’ range, I decided that I would add this colour onto my list of things to get. Lucky for me, Superdrug has a 2for£3 on Collection 2000 ‘Hot Looks’ nail polish at the moment so after much debate I decided on ‘Button Moon’ and another colour which I will feature next Wednesday.

I have wanted a light blue nail polish for a long time but could never decide on a shade and the fact that I rarely wore nail polish always made me decide to spend my money on something I would get more use out of. So far my late New Year’s Resolution is going well. The last nail polish I wore was only a little bit chipped before I decided to change it. Although I did get really stressed with work and bit my nails, so I’ll have to have a smack on the wrist and try again with not being so disgusting.

Sparkles Make Everything Better!

Now I’ve never been much of a nail polish kind of girl, true I have a large collection but its very rare that I ever use it and when I do decide to paint my nails it’s a complete bloodbath(especially when trying to paint my right hand). When my nail polish chips I rarely notice and when I do I don’t bother fixing it I leave the polish until it all chips off itself! Other than the nail polish I don’t take much care of my nails either, I am a serial nail biter(I know I’m disgusting). I never made a New year’s resolution but I have decided to make a very late one to try and treat my nails well. The fact that I have fallen inlove with the pastel shades for this spring have definitely helped make this decision.

Last week I treated myself to a few of MUA’s beautifully cheap products, among the products I bought was ‘U R FAB’ from their love hearts collection. After wearing it all week I decided to stick with this colour for afew more days, but I decided to add SEPHORA by O.P.I over the top. I bought this nail polish while I was in New York afew years ago and am glad it has not gone off because I really love it. I find with some sparkly nail polish that not enough glitter goes on with just one coat, but one coat over this really glammed up the colour.
