The weekends here, so let it be grey, and sparkly

Trying to go out of my comfort zone again with this one, as I NEVER wear grey nail varnish. However, I am quite chuffed with the results.

I used two coats of Essence Got a Secret and one coat of Color Club Backstage Pass. Must admit I am quite chuffed with the results. Backstage pass is lovely, it is silver, purple and pale pink hexes in a clear jelly. Om Nom Nom!

I wish I was a pretty peacock!

So, challenges over, I get to do my nails the way I want to do my nails. So it takes me forever to decide.

But, I wanted to use one of my new polishes, so plumped for Essence colour n go shade 78 'blue addicted' this consists of a deep blue jelly with tiny blue glitter speckles and green and blue hexes. I really really love how this looks but for me it needed a very strong base coat. So, I have plumped for Models Own Emerald black, which is about the darkest green I have ever seen in my little life! But, to make the glitter stand out better I decided to use a matte top coat from Rimmel.

MSE Nail Challenge - week 2 - Orange

You would think I am all nail challenged out, and to be honest it was tempting to skip this one, but I didn't want to let down my lovely ladies over at MSE and not take proper part.

So here is my entry for week two.

Two new nail varnishes I have never used before. YAY

I used two/three coats on No7 Cheeky Chops for my base. It is a lovely colour and I had a few people comment at work about how well it it suited me, but it isn't that wonderful to apply and even though I had three coats on some fingers to stop the streakiness I could still see a bit of VNL ( Visible Nail Line) which I always think looks a bit naff. Maybe next time I will layer it over a similar colour, but one which is more solid to prevent it happening again.

Then, because I can't leave things alone I went for accent nails in Essence Special Topper Copperize Me. This is not a colour I would usually wear in glitter, but I thought it was proper lovely on. Trying to move myself from my comfort zone, so felt this did me proud. 

Now, I am going to go and put something on my nails that I want to do for me. Who wants to bet it will take me ages to choose because I have had a week of just doing what I was told!

Rainbow Nails - Day 7 - Pink and my latest haul

I have really really enjoyed my first nail  challenge and I am looking forward to getting into another one.

So, here are my pink pictures. I wanted something bright, bright bright so went for a base coat of a deep fuschia by  Miss Sporty 322, and topped it off with Models Own Magenta Divine. I love this Models Own nail varnish as it only takes two coats to be a really really heavy colour.

For some reason my camera didn't want to play ball so the pictures aren't as clear as I would like. But I am sure you will get the impression.
