MANI-MONDAY! Bubblegum Glitter!

Hey everybody,

How was your weekend? Mine was busy but I had a great one with good friends! I hope your weekend was good too!

Anyway, onto business!

So, it's just another "Mani-Monday"... :)

I may or may not have mentioned this before but I only paint my nails once a week because I'm very conscious about damaging my nails so I tend to limit painting them to once a week.

So with that being said, I've started a weekly series called "Mani-Monday". Please excuse the quality of my photos. I'm camera-less at the moment and I'm using my phone!

The nail polish that I've used this week are; NYC Quick Dry Nail Polish in 264 Lincoln Square Lavendar. Then on my ring fingers I have Catrice Ultimate Nail Lacquer in 40 I'm Dynamite.

What's your go to colour for this time of the year?

NOTD: Glitter Heaven!

Hi there!

So, like I mentioned in my Makeup Haul blogpost, recently I bought the NYC Expert Last Nail Polish in 105 Lights-Camera- Glitter and Catrice Ultimate Nail Lacquer in 107 Genius In The Bottle.

I was very eager to try both of them out together. In the bottle, the Catrice Nail Lacquer looks like an iridescent colour with blue, green and gold tones in it. I thought that it would be an interesting colour on the nails but when I tried it out, it just applies as a gold colour. I'm disappointed that none of the other colours made it out of the bottle! It is a pretty colour on it's own but it's just not what I had expected it to be.

So, with that on my nails, I paired it with the NYC Glitter polish. I'm really liking this! The polish itself looks clear but when applied to the nails, it comes off as a silver colour. There are small particles of glitter that are pink and blue. There are bigger particles of blue and pink glitter too. I would only use this as a top coat. When it's paired with a colour underneath and after two coats of it to the nail, it looks so pretty!

One of the claims with this polish is that it makes your nails 50% stronger within 7 days. It also claims that the polish lasts up to 7 days but that's a bit presumptuous though! 

And here's what they look like on the nails!

What's are your favourite nail polish at the moment?

NOTW: Ink Stain!

So, here we are. The first weekend of 2014 is nearly through. Did you make any new year resolutions? Did you keep them? I'll be completely honest with you, like I mentioned in my last post, I did make resolutions like eating healthier and exercising more frequently, but I haven't exactly started yet! There's always tomorrow, eh?! :)

OK, so back to business! Right now in Ireland, the weather is even more depressing than usual. So, my nails of the week reflect my mood! Oh summer, where are YOU?!

I'm a big fan of NYC makeup products and I've been really impressed with their nail polishes recently. The one that I'm wearing this week is NYC Expert Last Nail Polish in 115 Ink Stain. It's a beautiful midnight blue, inky colour. I prefer wearing colours like this on my nails during this time of the year, opposed to a flat matte black. It still adds a little bit of colour but it's still perfect for the season too.

(Apologies for the poor quality of the picture! I'm using my phone until I can get a new camera! :) Please excuse the polished cuticles too!)

What's your favourite colour for A/W?

NOTD: Beige Style! 💅

Now that winters made it's debut here in Ireland, I usually love painting my nails darker colours. This year though, I'm leaning towards nude colours.

The colour that I'm loving at the moment is Rimmel Lycra Pro in Beige Style. 

What are your favourite nail polishes for Autumn/Winter? Any recommendations for me?
