Essie - Sole Mate 

Ciaté - Glitterball (ppm402)

Getting glittery with the in coming of spring.

Pretty much matches my mood at the moment after the most amazing weekend catching up with the girls and a super exciting new job which I am due to start tomorrow (wish me luck).

I'm not one for super sparkly, in-your-face nails so I usually only pant one nail in glitter which I've done here, but I have also included a full glitter manicure pic for those of you that want to see, or try this out.

This deep purple is my absolute fave from the Essie range, Sole Mate is one I have used on more than one occasion to feature on Street & Rail's Sunday Polish edit. The glitter on the other had is new, given to me as a gift for Christmas from my wonderful friend Sarah from Framboise Fashion and I love it. Thank you ;)

Doesn't it look Fab!!!

Kicking things off with a hint of silver sparkle, I hope you all had a spectacular end to 2014 and start to 2015.

I am so ready for a fresh start and go forward this year setting my sights and bigger and better challenges. I wonder what new and exciting opportunities await . . .

I am curious however, to know everyone's new years resolutions should you have one.

 Essie - Romper Room

New Look - Gold Glitter

Gold Nail Tape

Getting Glittery with this fun french manicure inspired nail.

The festive season is slowly (or not so slowly) approaching, and it's time to get ready.

A great nail for whats to come, not only pretty in pale pink but fun and flirty with a little gold and glitter.

 Nice enough, but doesn't quite reach the results I was expecting from this promising bottle. The creme formula is thin and streaky which I was already expecting considering the shade, but still disappointing, no?!  Unlike other Essie polishes, it is also kind of difficult to work with given that it isn't the best at self-levelling and requires an excess of about three or more coats. 

I recently reviewed Rimmel's Lose your Lingerie from Rite Ora which is very almost exactly the same shade and I must say, it was pretty damn amazing! So this is your alternative ;)

This is best achieved on day old or definitely dry manicures to prevent ruining your base.

I used gold nail tape (eBay) across the nail, cutting off the excess as I went. 

On the ring finger I layered the gold glitter polish painting it on in reverse, starting from tip to base but only on the end half of the nail. 

Wait for each layer to dry before doing the next and focus on the tip to get the fade effect.

Love,
