NOTW: Orange It's Obvious

As I painted my nails (or claws as my Mum so kindly likes to call them) with Essie Orange It's Obvious for the hundredth time I realised I had never done a post on it. It is definitely my most worn nail varnish of all time and one of the cheapest. It's available for £2.95 from Cheap Smells and there is even free delivery. Bargain! As the name is suggests it is a bright orange that is perfect for all seasons. Even with Seche Vite on top it chips really quickly but the unique colour is so worth it.

Also a family friend said I could be a hand model the other day which I think is hilarious. My face isn't good enough to be modelled but my hands are! Keep your eyes out for these mits in up and coming hand cream adverts! How cool would it be to be able to say " You may recognise these hands from such adverts as Nivea Hand Cream and Cuticle Care 101" ?!

NOTW: Sephora By OPI - Go My Own Way

Hello!
So today I thought I'd show you my nail varnish of choice. When I decided to paint my nails it was grey and rainy, as usual, so I picked out a  dark wintry shade. Go My Own Way seemed good enough and even though I got this a year ago when I was in America it is the first time I've used it. As you can see it is a metallic dark blue shade with a gorgeous subtle shimmer. What I love about it is it looks a different colour in every light. It definitely needs two coats to get a good colour. Unfortunately the application is pretty streaky but it isn't too noticeable. 

I know they're a bit messy but life is too short to worry about having perfect nails!

NOTW: Blue Sparkle

I'm pretty poopy at nail art and way too lazy so I get jealous of all the pictures of beautifully painted nail art. My solution? Glitter!

A glitter top coat hides messy painting and easily makes your nails look more interesting than just colour. I always get lots of compliments when I use it.  I know this is usually on trend at Christmas time but nail art has no rules!


I used Revlon's Blue Laguna which I actually picked up in Poundland for, you guessed it, £1. What a bargain! I love getting make up from Poundland because lets face it who doesn't love a good bargain? Plus it makes me feel way better about treating myself to more expensive make up with the money I saved.

The glitter topcoat is from 17. It actually came free in a gift set you get when you buy three products.

This is a really cheap and easy look to create. Goes to show you don't have to spend lots of money or time for nice nails.
