Nails of the week: pastel tie-dye
For my nails I don’t really obey seasons – people go darker for autumn and winter, but I just wear whatever colour suits my mood… and that’s why I decided to go with a pastel tie-dye.
Nails of the week: glittery lilac (Make Up Gallery Parma Violet)
You know when you fall in love with a nail shade? Yeah, that. I fell for Make Up Gallery’s Parma Violet the moment I saw it on the display.
Nails of the week: grey leopard print
During Vogue’s Fashion Night out, I was invited by the fabulous team behind Essie to have an even more fabulous manicure inside a Mini Cooper. Yes. A mani in a mini.
Nails of the week: bright green with ladybird
Ladybirds! I love ladybirds… but was too lazy to draw them on my nails sooo… I cheated!
Nails of the week: Green, yellow and blue heart tips (World Cup III)
The World Cup may be but I still have a little back log of WC nails going round! This is the third of four designs, so one more to go!
This is a design I did a few times before and love. It ended up being less out there than the others and many people complimented it as a “lovely summery” manicure!
Nails of the week: silver with colourful leopard print
You know when I say I obsess with things? Together with gradients, leopard print is a great nail obsession of mine.
Nails of the week: Green, yellow, blue and white “tie-dye” effect (World Cup I)
World Cup nails – that is what I’ve been calling them! They are however, a bit more than that: they are showing support to my team – Brasil!
I decided to put into practice the invaluable advice from Michelle Humphrey, the Maybelline nail extraordinaire, and try a “tie-dye” type of nails.
Nails of the week – multicolour gold/green/blue
This week I am wearing a nail polish I had been looking forward to trying on, as the colour is so vivid: Trendy, another Specialittá polish from the Marinoon Multigirl collection.
Now, one of the colours on this duochrome is definitely gold. The green part gets a bit complicated – I really loved the spectrum of colours on this: from the bright gold yellow, it changes to a subtle apple green, ending on a blue-ish, grey-ish green, with more or less variations depending on the lighting. Truly amazing colour! It is very shiny, the gold very yellow and intense.
The not so good bit is that application wasn’t that straight forward; although I just needed 2 coats (differently from the previous one from this range I tried, which was quite thin), I can still see the brush strokes marks, no matter how careful I was. Although to the untrained eye on a daily basis this is not noticeable, you can still notice in my pictures. This upsets me, I like my polish smooth and shiny, so a big let down. Drying time was slightly above standard but durability is very good!
Overall, love the colour, but a bit of trouble for what it is worth. The brush stroke marks are really bothering me, but a nice choice anyway.
