NAILS OF THE WEEK

I could easily blog about nail polishes for the rest of my life, and I'm not even joking. Nail polishes are a huge love of mine and I'm always buying new polishes and testing out different colours and styles. 

One style that has been very popular lately, and a love of mine, is block colour nails with the glitter on the ring finger nail. I recently reviewed NYC Lights Camera Glitter! where I spoke about my love for glitter nails, so it was inevitable another post featuring it was going to follow! 

Summer nails to me are usually bold block corals, oranges and pinks but I decided to have a change. This week I've gone for pastels and glitters, one of my favourite combinations.

I started with Essie's Full Steam Ahead on all my nails but my ring finger. I applied two coats and a top coat to achieve the perfect amount of colour. I then used Bourjois So Glossy in Taupe (two coats) and three coats of NYC Lights Camera Glitter on my ring finger. 

I really love the combination of these three nail polishes. The shimmer in Essie's Full Steam Ahead goes really well with the block glitter that NYC LGC, especially over Bourjois Taupe. I really think pastel nail polishes are underrated, and lilacs polishes in general, so I hoping this post will open your eyes to the beauty of pastels with glitters!

Would you wear a nail combination like this? What do you think about pastel nails?

NYC Lights Camera Glitter

Barry M Gelly Hi Shine in Blueberry

As I'm sure you're aware, I have a love (more of an obsession really) with nail polish, my collection is unbelievable! I've been getting really bored with just block coloured nails lately so I decided to jazz them up a little!

I simply started with Barry M's Gelly Hi Shine in Blueberry, which by itself is a beautiful colour don't get me wrong but let's be honest it's just a blue nail varnish. When I was in Superdrug the other day I couldn't resist picking up this NYC Lights Camera Glitter nail varnish! 

It's basically a clear nail varnish with sprinkles of silver glitter and a few hexagon shaped holographic blue and lilac glitter thingys- great description I know!

 It's so pretty and glittery and girly and I just love it! I would say it takes about two to three coats (depending on how much glitter you want) to properly see the glitter. One thing I adore about this nail varnish is that it doesn't chip and when you apply it, it has like a top coat kind of finish.

The only issue I have with the NYC Lights Camera Glitter is it is a PAIN in the backside to remove! I had mine removed by the technician in the nail shop because I was getting my infills and even he struggled so unless you're happy to scrub it off with plenty of remover then I wouldn't advise it! Buttttttt then again, that isn't going to stop me wearing it!

Have you tried any NYC nail varnishes? Would you recommend any other glitter nail varnishes?
