Nails ... Nails .... Nails ...

Just a a short one today with a few little pics of my latest adventures in nail painting. First up I decided I wanted to try out something really bright so bought a NYC quick dry from the local chemist of all places in High Line Green. 

I used this on both my fingers and toes. It looked really cool, bright and a funky clash with most of what I was wearing.  I wore this down to a family birthday but to mix it up a little for the meal out I decided to add a black crackle top coat. 

I was't sure how it would look but it turned out awesome. The picture kinda blows out the colour, it wasn't quite as grunge in person. My mum on the other hand wasn't quite as keen she thought my nails looked a bit mouldy :s but hey I liked it. 

Just to combine a couple of posts, as you may r may not know we have joined Bannatynes and as such we have been going swimming a lot. Swimming, long nails and nail varnish do not mix, here is the result of two trips to the pool ... eeek! As a result I have taken my nails a tad shorter then I would usually keep them to try and stop them bending as much when they are wet and soft. 

So aside from psychedelic green I have been sporting a few other looks recently a couple of weeks ago I went natural and did a light french manicure just using my sparkle white and top coat, I dont like pink bases as they can look a bit fake. 

I love this look but the white can tend to crack after a few days and get strange dark lines through it. I love how this look just enhances your natural nails which for me is great as my nails grow quite long. 

Next up I borrowed a Nails Inc colour from my friend.

Not the best paint job as I was in a bit of a rush but this is there leather effect. I'm not sure how leather it looks but it was kinda cool. I love the grey colour and kinda like the dull effect it has. One thing I did discover about this sort of textured varnish is that its really distracting hehe I kept feeling up my own nails. Sitting at work running my thumbs over them and running them across my lip. This was also surprisingly easy to get off, I was expecting it to take ages like glitter but it didn't which was good. I hate having to spent ages trying to get your varnish off. 

I have also bought a couple other new colours recently first up was a little pot of dark gold from H&M sale which I picked up because it looked cute and shiny hehe my last new colour is shade 13 from 2true at superdrug. I finally found the light grey I wanted woop woop. 2true is really nice as its not too expensive like the NYC ones so you can mix it up with a new colour without having to spend a fiver to find out you dont like it. 

Thats all from me on nails for the minute but I will keep you updated if I try out anything else new or buy anything awesome hehe
