August Nails

Wow, I can hardly believe it's the end of August already! Time is flying by and I'm starting my 3rd year of uni in a couple of weeks, eek! Anyway, here are my August nails...

First up we have Rimmel I ♥ Lasting Finish in Hot Shot, this is an old favourite of mine as it's just a simple, gorgeous hot pink. If I'm feeling a little down or under the weather when I use this it never fails to make me feel a bit better. The power of pink, haha!



Here I have another Rimmel offering, this time from the 60 Second range in the shade Mary Mary Quite Contrary. This is quite similar to Models Own Utopia I believe and is a lovely, subtle off-white lilac shade. I have also painted my ring finger with a top coat of Models Own Jack Frost to give a little glitter.



Lastly, we have Seventeen Lasting Fix in Mint Choc Chip. I actually spotted this in the reduced to clear section of my local Boots for £1 and thought I'd give it a go as I liked the colour. I was however, disappointed as this looks more like a china blue than a minty green in daylight. This wouldn't have bothered me but I already have two other pastel blues so didn't really need another! Another disappointment was that this chipped really easily (before I managed to get a picture!), even with top coat so only lasted a few days before I had to remove it.

April Nails

Just thought I'd share some recent pictures of different colours and combos I've had on my nails...




Rimmel 60 Seconds Instyle Coral with Models Own Jack Frost

My first attempt at watercolour nails! Using Bourjois So Laque Glossy in 03 BCBeige for the base and Rimmel I ♥ Lasting Finish in Hot Shot, Barry M Gelly in Greenberry, Models Own Lemon Meringue, Purple Poppy, Top Turquoise, Feeling Blue and Fuzzy Peach.



Seventeen Fast Finish in Ruby Gem with Essie Leading Lady (on ring finger).

So these are pretty much April's nails, I may start doing this as a monthly post so look out for May's nails as although some of them are on here! I have some exciting new things to try including 2 Maybelline Colour Show Polka Dot polishes and the new Barry M Nail Art Pens in black and white and some Essie nail wraps so I should still have plenty to show you in my May post!
