Love Is In The Air...

Sorry for the cheesy title, I couldn't resist!
For todays post I have a cute little valentines day inspired mani, I'm not a big V-day lover but I actually quite like how this one turnd out. Unfortunately, I don't have the time for a tutorial so I'll just list the polishes I used :-)

As always, I hope you like it :-)

OPI - Germanicure from, yup you guessed it, the Germany collection as the base colour,
Unnamed Black for the first layer of the 'cloud'
Essie - Mink Muffs the top 'cloud' colour,
Essie - Lollipop for the little hearts.

I Gots Feathers On My Nails!

So, it's been an absolute age since I last posted due to moving house and no internet but I'm back briefly to show you this awesome mani! I LOVE putting feathers on my nails. It's surprisingly easy but always gets tonnes of compliments. For this I used an ESSIE colour (the label wasn't on it so I don't know what it's called) and just some plain brown feathers from a local craft shop. You literally paint 1 layer, let it completely dry then paint a 2nd and whilst it's still wet apply the feather, using small scissors and a file to adjust the shape after. You have to use a very thick top coat for them to stay on properly! I use one that I've had for yeaaaars and it's so gloopy it's perfect. So, there we go. I hope you like and I promise it won't be so long for my next entry!
