NEW NAILS

 Hey guys!

What a start to the week, I feel so drained. I decided (with friends obvi!) to go on a Monday evening shopping spree after uni and boy, am I tired.

I picked up some amazing gems and cannot wait to show you guys in the next couple of posts!

Other than being tired, I'm in a great frame of mind and I'm looking forward to the end of January and the start of February, the year is flying by.

Now, onto the post.

I get my nails done on a regular basis and I've had pointy nails for the past 8 months so I thought, it's time to change it up.

I decided to get my nails squared up, I definitely prefer pointy nails but change is always good.

It feels weird to have square nails, they're so much harder to work with, it's going to take some getting used to.

They're also quite short, to get them this shape, I had to cut them down (which I was sad about).

I want them way longer so it's going to take at least two refills (4-6 weeks) to grow them out to the length I want them.

For the colour, I went back to black, I love the way black looks on my nails so it was only right to christen the new shape with some black polish!

That's all for now, hope you're all well and having a great start to the week!

Thanks for reading,

NEW NAILS

Hey guys,

Hope everyone had an amazing Christmas!

Boxing Day and days after until New Year's are usually my chill days and/or days to visit family.

Obviously, for Christmas, I had to get a fresh set of acrylics done.

I decided to stay with stiletto shape but I've decided that my next refill I'd change them to coffin shape.

I did what I usually do, in terms of design, I got all my nails painted in full and then did a leopard design on two fingers on each hand. A thumb is not a finger so on my thumb I got the design in a moon shape unlike the other three that were had leopard design all over.

Purple's my favourite colour and usually go for lilac on the nails but I prefer dark colours mainly because they compliment my skin tone quite well.

So this time, I decide to go for a very deep purple by Colour Club, I haven't actually seen this nail polish brand any other place than my nail shop so I decided I'd go with a brand I hadn't used before to see how it holds. I must say, it's doing better than most after all that Christmas cooking!

I'm going to enjoy having really long nails before starting uni again in the new year. 

Picking up pins with these are not easy!

Might do a little practice because I love long nails and don't really want to have to cut them down shorter. 

I'm excited to try a new shape so I'm looking forward to my next trip to the nail shop!

Hope everyone's having a relaxing Christmas break and you're all well,

Barry M Nail Paint - Lilac Foil 142

Hey guys, 

Day 7 and I bring to you a NOTD, I paint my nails every now and then and it's usually with the same colours over and over again.

Lilac is my favourite colour and when I saw this nail polish in my Barry M goody bag from Clothes Show Live, I was so happy!

 I woke up this morning and quickly put it on and I love it, I love the metallic effect and how quickly it dries.

I'm going to be wearing it a lot, lilac is definitely one of my favourite colours for my nails, especially during Spring/Summer.

This is actually the first Barry M nail polish I've tried and I'm impressed, can't wait to try out the rest I've got and I'm sure I'm going to be purchasing a few this season!

What are your favourite nail polish colours? Are you a fan of metallic nail polishes?

Let me know and thanks for reading!
