Spring Nails

So it may not have been Spring weather in the past fortnight but my nails have been looking very Spring like. I always get so many compliments on my nails and they've definitely brightened those dull grey days.

As soon as I got my hands on the Barry M Gelly paints in Greenberry and Dragon Fruit I immediately had to use them. They are such an amazing product, so glossy, dries quickly and such vibrant colours. They also lasted longer than usual, which could be an improved formula for Barry M.

Barry M Gelly in Dragon Fruit (pink) and Greenberry (green) £3.99 each 

 I went for something different by painting my hands opposite ways. I've become really bored of all one colour nails and like to paint my thumb and ring finger a different colour to the others. As I was trying out these colours I thought it would be nice to do them opposite ways. The pink is lovely for a more subtle look whereas the green is much more in your face. 

This week I really wanted to go for an Easter inspired theme. It took me ages to choose the order of these colours as I never want blue and green next to each other, or pink and purple because they're so close. I intended to add a glitter top coat but had a mad week at work and they've worn down so I'll change them tomorrow. I'm so looking forward to my time off!

 Models Own: Jade Stone, Lilac Dream, Lemon Meringue, Beth's Blue and Soda Pop Pink £5 each

I love this combination! Its so pretty and girlie and perfect for so many occasions. I saw one of the Saturdays pictured with neon colours on different nails. It looked so good I can't wait to re-do it. I bought some more Models Own this week which I'm excited to try. My boyfriend wanted to pick for me but I have so many it was hard! I got one from the scented collection and one of the Ice Neons but I'd like more...

Happy Easter everyone! Hope its full of family time and of course plenty of chocolate on the side

Parma Violet Girl

The first ever Models Own colour I wanted was Beth's Blue. I saw it in Company and lusted after it for well over a year. I found it in my local River Island and didn't buy it. When I returned to get it they had all gone (it was day 1 of their summer sale and I suspect it got reduced). Models Own then did their 50,000 likes on Facebook to get 50% off online. I think I got it then as I remember it was top of my list and I didn't order until a week after the code got released and I was surprised it was still in stock. It has sadly sat unopened and unloved in my box until this week.
It is the prettiest shade, and is a mystifying in-between shade of pale blue and lilac. I thought it looked like Parma Violets which made me crave them so I bought some but the sweets are a much paler shade.

This is such an unusual shade and one I love having in my collection.
