This is what my nails looked like a few weeks back and the pictures really don’t do them justice. I’m wearing a beige/nude nail polish with a copper/silver glitter polish on top, and it almost made my nails look rose gold. The night I did my nails I thought it looked pretty, but this combo really grew on me and I love it.
So, it’s been three months since my last nail post, and as I mentioned here and here my intention was to do more nail posts, but I haven’t had much time to be very creative with my nails. I’ll do my best though to get ‘back on the nail track’ yet again. Anyhow, this is what my nails looked like about four weeks ago. The blueish green nail polish is rather new; it’s one of Rimmel’s 60 Seconds nail polishes and it’s in the colour 835 Bright Back At You. The silver glitter nail polish is by Filthy Gorgeous and is called rock chick.
The first month of spring has come to an end, and right now I’m enjoying my Easter holiday with my family, so this post is pre-scheduled. March was mostly based around exams and choir concerts in my case, so it was quite a tough month, but it ended with a holiday which was just what I needed:) Anyways, here’s 5 favourites from the month of March.
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Lightscapade: Oh dear, this highlighter is one of the most stunning things I’ve ever seen. I can’t believe it took me so long to decide to buy it. If you’re obsessed with highlighters like I am, and you don’t already have this one in your collection, you should go buy it immediately.
Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge: I’ve previously had a make-up sponge as a favourite, but that one was not good compared to this Real Techniques one. I love using the flat side to apply my foundation and the tip to blend out concealer.
Rimmel Metal Rush nail polish in 100 Pearly Queen: This is the first time I’ve had a nail polish as one of my 5 favourites which is mainly due to the fact that I usually wear a different nail polish each week. But in the beginning of this month I wore this nail polish two weeks in a row, because I just love they way it looks on the nails.
Maleficent (film): I absolutely love Disney films, and I’d been wanting to watch Maleficent since it came out last year, but I didn’t get around to it until this month. It wasn’t at all how I’d imagined it; it was way better! I’ve never been a fan of Angelina Jolie, but I think she’s brilliant in this film, and so stunning.
Disney Piano Collection by Hirohashi Makiko: I believe one of the reasons why I love Disney films as much as I do is the amazing music in them. A couple of months back, I discovered these incredible piano versions of famous Disney songs which I’ve had playing in the background while studying for my exams. They’re just so relaxing and beautiful. There are several more of these types of videos on YouTube, but this one has been the one I’ve been listening to the most. Enjoy!
Will you look at that; another nail post already! This is what my nails look like this week, or almost (I’ll get back to that in a second). I usually do my nails every Sunday evening, and last Sunday I cut my nails rather short, so I felt like wearing something neutral. I pulled out one of my favourite neutral polishes (H&M nail polish in the colour Nerd), and then I remembered that I had a matte top coat (from Gosh) lying around that I hadn’t used in ages. I absolutely love the way it turned out, but already about a day after applying the nail polishes the matte effect started to disappear. I don’t know if it’s because the nail polish is rather old, or if it’s just something matte polishes do. Please let me know if you’ve had the same experience, or if you have any recommendations for matte top coats/polishes, because I love the way it looks.
I was serious when I wrote that I wanted to get back to doing more nail posts and get more creative in the nail department, but I thought I would start out with something easy. Like throwing a confetti top coat on top of a coloured nail polish. So easy, and really cute, I think. I didn’t even think about the fact that wearing this top coat on top of a white nail polish would make my nails look like dalmatians, but I don’t mind. The nail polishes I’m wearing are Nail Paint by Barry M in Matt White and L’Oréal Color Riche nail polish in Confettis.
I haven’t done a nail post in a long time which is mainly due to the fact that I haven’t got that many new nail polishes since I left England. Anyways, I do want to get more creative with my nails, but for now I just want to show you a new nail polish I got on my gift advent calendar in December. First I’ll apologise for the application; I tried to remove as much nail polish from the skin around my nails as possible, but I find it almost impossible to get it all off. But about the nail polish; it’s from the Danish make-up brand Nilens Jord and it’s no. 688. It’s a deep, metallic purple as you can see, and I love the colour. It reminds a bit of one of my favourite nail polish colours from H&M called Fabulous Nails, Honey, just a more purple version.
