Nails of the Week

I'm so behind with this considering I wanted to post them at the start of every week but I have been so preoccupied that my nails fell into a right state. Polish almost all chipped off and several broken nails later I finally have gotten round to sorting them out and have a bit of a pamper day in the process - Ahh bliss. 

This week I have on Essie Liquorice. I did mess up a little bit but its not something that hot soapy water won't fix. I couldn't really make my mind up on what to wear this week so for me black is an obvious choice because as long as it's a good opaque colour and the application is okay then it can look really polished.

What do you think of this colour? What have you been wearing?

Nails of the Week: Essie and OPI

I really downplayed it this week, I felt like I wanted something more muted and natural so that's what I've gone for.

I used:

- Essie Vanity Fairest

- Essie Marshmallow

- OPI I Juggle Men

What do you think?

Nails of the Week: Mint Apple

I'm a little late with this post but hey better late than never. 

This week I have been wearing Sinful Colors in Mint Apple. I have actually been wearing this since Monday but I think that it actually works out because I can now cover longevity. 

So the colour is pretty much what it says - mint apple, it does carry a slight shimmer which isn't my favourite but I can live with it. 

The application was great! I used nearly 2 coats (1 and then topped up where necessary). The formula was nicely workable as it wasn't too thick or thin and I found that the opacity was pretty good too. 

After wearing this for a few days I have to say that actually it has worn so well. I will admit I have no base or top coat on (I know, sacrilege!) but it's holding up amazingly. The only signs of wear are where it has worn off on the tips but I do a lot of cleaning so I am really not surprised. 

Honestly I think I am really going to be on the hunt for more Sinful Colors polishes because they are only £1.99 from Boots and are pretty much always on BOGO Half Price. 

Have you tried Sinful Colors?

Nails Of The Week: Baker Street

I really want to get into doing a 'Nails Of The Week' series of posts. I used to be really into doing my nails and more specifically nail art (which you can see on my Instagram page - Kittysmurf1993), in fact I got to a point where I was doing my nails pretty much every day but then you get into a line of work where you can't paint your nails and it all just slips. I'm now back in a position where I can do my nails as often as I want and I think a nice way to start off would be to introduce a 'Nails Of The Week' post. I know it's already Wednesday but I think that I will be posting these on a Monday so the next one will come round quite soon. 

But without further ado, here are my nails for this week. Be warned, you WILL fall in love with this colour. 

I have been dying to get this colour for a looonnnnggg time! The photo doesn't even really do it justice, it is supposed to be a rich cobalt blue and it has instantly become my favourite polish colour of all time. I could quite easily wear this over and over and I am someone who quickly gets bored of a polish colour. 

This is by Nails Inc in the colour Baker Street and I believe the price is £11.00 so is a little bit more expensive than your average polish but absolutely worth every penny!

What do you think of this colour?
