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!

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

The Zone

I cannot resist a glitter nail polish. When I saw Barry M 350 Diamond Glitter I just had to buy it. It's a beautiful mix of silver glitter with larger holographic hexagons. They catch the light so well and look amazing. I went for a thin coat with one or two hexagons on each nail which is still pretty but subtle. I'm planning to layer this up as it'll be perfect for pretty sparkling nails. Me and my boyfriend are going to a 50th birthday party next weekend so I'll probably do it for that.

I'm hating the dark for trying to photograph :( but I'm loving the approach of Christmas. I'm off to my first Christmas market this weekend with my boyfriend which I'm beyond excited for! I don't really know what to expect but I hope to at least get a festive feeling :)
I named this post after The Weekend's track of the same name featuring Drake. I am OBSESSED with it. I think The Weekend is really mysterious and it makes him more alluring. As always Drake is a babe on this and has the most perfectly worded rap.

Inside Your Love

My boy asked me the other day why I hadn't done any nail posts recently. It was so sweet he'd noticed. Anyway the reason is I've been pretty boring with my nails, either all the same colour and nothing else or it's a colour I've blogged about before. And I don't want to graze over old ground. So I decided it was time to get creative again and do something interesting on my nails.

Models Own: Lilac Dream, Soda Pop Pink and Smash-Up Black
I painted my ring finger and thumb nails pink and the other three lilac. I then used Smash-Up to create the crackle effect followed my a clear top coat. I love the Models Own crackle, I'd only used Barry M ones before and they aren't a patch on Models Own. I was lusting after a lilac shade while shopping in town on Friday but didn't buy one. Just as well as I have Models Own Lilac Dream. On a very happy update my local Topshop is finally stocking a little of the make up brand. If you've followed my blog for a while you'll have noted my frustration at only being able to get the make up range out of town or online. I prefer shopping in person for such items. They only have nail polishes at the moment but I am hopeful they will stock more. They had a lilac shade in Topshop and I so very nearly bought it!
I bet once the sunshine comes out I'll be more creative as I love wearing glitter during the summer because it catches the light so well. Here's hoping...
My blog post title is inspired by the Delilah track. Her voice is insane, almost slightly Adele at the start of this song. Plus it reminds me of my boy <3.
