I’m absolutely in love with this shade for spring, I’ve worn it for like 5 days in the photo (as you can probably tell) and would happily continue if it wasn’t chipped. This never happens, I usually get bored after a day or two!
It’s Rimmel Lycra Pro Nail Polish in ‘Peppermint’ and it applies beautifully.
Now all I need is the matching bike…
… ah well, a girl can dream :’)
Models Own SunKissed… after this I wore Zest-A-Peel for like 5 days and forgot to take a photo that entire time - it’s beautiful! Will add one soon :)
Models Own Sun Kissed with Barry M black shatter polish. The ring finger has a coat of Boots 17 Fury as well before the crackle.
I wasn’t totally sure about this look BUT then my partner said it was “very Ke$ha”, aahaha I love that crazy woman. So then I liked it more :)
Another shot of Max Factor Max Effect Fantasy Fire over Me Me Me Wild. Natural daylight.
Getting back into the swing of nail art things a little bit with… PANDAS! Kind of in honour of Edinburgh’s newest celebrities Yang Guang and Tian Tian, I finally got to see them last week :3
I used…
- Barry M Cobalt Blue
- Barry M Cyan Blue
- Rimmel London 60 Seconds Sky High
- Barry M Spring Green
- Collection 2000 Hot Looks Spangles (discontinued)
- Rimmel London I ♥ Lasting Finish White Clouds (discontinued)
- Maybelline Express Finish Onyx Black
once again forgot to take a photo of this cute skittles mani until it was all chipped. Sorry! I kinda loved it though…
thumb to pinky:
- Models Own Edamame
- Models Own Zest-A-Peel
- Models Own Blue Lagoon
- Models Own SunKissed
- Boots 17 Spring Petal (the names of Spring Petal and Juicy are swapped around on the website, haha! Trust me, petal = pink!)
Shaky attempt at v-gap nails - we all have to start somewhere! I actually loved this, and my teenage goth past self would’ve loved it too. But then she would have a lot of questions for me about my nail polish collection containing orange and gold and generally anything other than black, red and purple :)
Models Own Indian Ocean over Blue Lagoon. Guess who broke her little fingernail and also has gross cuticles?! But don’t look at them - look at the pretty!
OMG SPRING! Haha, I go a bit nuts when the sun shines here in Scotland, it doesn’t happen all that often so please forgive me…
This is Models Own Edamame (which I L♥VE) with blossoms in Boots 17 Spring Petal and Rimmel London White Clouds. Also used a 17 black nail art pen and Rimmel matte top coat. I just wish my nail art pen didn’t always smudge when I apply a top coat, it’s really not that noticeable in person but is in photos!
I am all about these fresh, fruity spring shades right now! I also got Zest Appeal in my most recent Models Own shop and I’m a bit torn between how much I want to wear that and not really wanting to take these blossoms off yet - haha, what a great problem to have :)
What’s the weather like where you are? Does it make you want to wear different colours?
Max Factor Max Effect Fantasy Fire over Me Me Me Wild. I’ll stop spamming your dash with it now! ;) Seriously though - it’s awesome.
Max Factor Max Effect Fantasy Fire… okay, believe the hype! This stuff is beeeaaaauuuutifuuuul :)
This is 2 thin coats over 2 coats of Me Me Me Wild (a nice bluish violet creme).
Having some fun with bright spring shades! I used all my purchases from this post -
- Boots 17 Juicy
- Boots 17 Spring Petal
- Boots 17 Orange Soda
- plus
- Rimmel London Lycra Pro Ultra Violet
- Black nail art pen
The thumb and little finger nails are both ‘Juicy’ but it looks different on my thumb because I messed it up and Juicy is super sheer and I didn’t have time to do 4-5 coats again, so just layered it over a coat of Rimmel London Lycra Pro in Peppermint. It worked out a different, but still beautiful colour I think!
