AUTUMN PICKS: Nails

Hey there lovely people, Hope you're all having a nice week :) Anyways, I thought I would just quickly share a few of my favourite fall polishes. As stated in my 'Autumn Post'  I do lean towards both opposite ends of the spectrum, either a sophisticated nude or a more vamped burgundy. 

Manicures Of The French

Now I'm not all to sure if the french manicure actually originated from the french but it does seem a tad strange if say, the Portuguese discovered it and named it 'french'. 

However I'm pretty sure that when it comes to the humble manicure, the French manicure will almost always certainly come out on top. Nowadays, I find that acrylic nailed white tips can come off a tad too fake what with just about every girl caked with make up, dangling extensions, topped off with the over sized fake nail somewhat giving the once sophisticated manicure a negative impression. Don't get me wrong, I think acrylics can make such a difference but I do suggest not going over the top and choosing a size and length that do not match your hands.

I love love love nail art but I haven't really had time to do anything jazzy to my nails recently. This design is quite tame compared to my usual designs but I thought it went perfectly with the neutral base shade (which is still by far one of my absolute favourites!) 

This design just involves:- BARRY M Gelly Hi-shine in 'Lychee' and a Nail art pen in white

                                                                                                                      

 (from ebay) 

If you are looking for nail art pens then I highly suggest purchasing them from Ebay, you can get a bulk load of colours for a bargain-ous price! 

Love 

NOTD #1

After the miraculous weather change that the UK has been having recently, I have, of course, taken advantage of the sunshine and bagged myself quite the tan

 So in order to enhance my newly bronzed skin I decided to paint my nails in a bright Coral almost orange toned red shade, perfect for the summer! 

I used Barry M's 'Coral'. I have always been a fan of Barry M nail paints and I remember it being the first vanish I bought and now in fact makes up the majority of my collection. 

So I highly recommend this shade for summer for that bright, almost neon pop of colour and just Barry M nail polishes in general!

Love
