Hello! Nails...

If you have ever seen Kath & Kim, you'll know the saying Hello! Nails......

Aaaanyways. I'm a little obsessed with nails.

I love having them different colours, whether they go with what I'm wearing or not, I won't lie though, they normally do, but it's not an intentional matching.

The last few weeks I have had........


This is OPI 'Rumple's Wiggin' & China Glaze Nova & a cute nail decal from ebay.

Blue Glitter Gel courtesy of my sister!!

White Barry M with a £1 multi glitter over

I've also been wearing Red Wine Barry M, but I just can't seem to take a remotely acceptable picture of it?!

I love doing my nails when I'm bored or going out....or staying in...it's just a time passer, and I like to play around with glitter and patterns and decals and things. here are a few of my faves:


From L-R top row:

Pixie by Hara - Matt White by Barry M - Shade 1 by MUA - Red Wine by Barry M - Lincoln Park After Dark by OPI - Nova by China Glaze - Rumple's Wiggin' by OPI - Lady In Black by OPI 

From L-R bottom row:

Shocking Pink by Barry M - Bright Pink by Barry M - Red Glitter by Barry M - Dark Green shimmery one?? by Barry M - Turquoise by Barry M - Mint Green by Barry M - Silver Foil Effects by Barry M - Teenage Dream by OPI (Katy Perry) - Carnival by Technic

So, those are some of my favourites at the minute and I have moustache decals but need wayyy more, I want some crosses too. My sister just ordered some white 3D bows, so I  might let her try them out on me when we get back from holiday

Any nail polishes or colours you can't live without??!

Nails


Nails are currently one of my favourite accessories at the moment.

I am obsessed and never leave the house without having done my nails. This is a fairly new development, as I used to paint them and leave them to chip away...yes, I’m a scruff, but now I love painting them or wearing false ones or using nail stickers.

I love reds, blacks, pinks and glitters. I’m wearing ‘Red Wine’ by Barry M today, but I love ‘Lincoln Park After Dark’ by OPI and I also have a rainbow glitter one that I love but I’m not sure who that is by...I’ll check that out, I think It only cost me £1 as well which is pretty good!

I’ve found that Primark do some awesome nail things, I’ve been using their french manicure false nails if I’ve gone out or had an occasion where I didn’t want too much colour, the glue isn’t amazing but I found that once I filed lightly over my nail to rough it up a bit, they stuck much better! They actually stayed on for about 4/5 days which you cant complain about because they were £1.
I’ve also just bought some gold Aztec –ish  nail wraps from there for £1 which I can’t wait to try out!



I do love a good bargain!! £1 for nails is a definite must. Even if it turns out they’re not for you, they’re still worth a go and you’ll get pretty nails for a day/night out of them and you’re not really losing out when it comes to the price.

My sister is a nail tech but I never get my nails done. Ever. I don’t know why, she always offers to do them for me but I can’t function with acrylics and I’m a little bit allergic to gel, which is a bit rubbish because I’m in love with shellac and rockstar nails! So I just find things I can do myself and I like to be able to change my nails everyday if I want to.

OPI are my little guilty pleasure though, whenever I buy an OPI it always feels like a treat!!
I love their collections and the little sets and mini’s make great gifts for friends or family!
I think my favourite celebrity collaboration so far is Katy Perry’s , Nicki Minaj had some nice ones too!

Well, I’m gonna go try out these nail wraps!
