Grand Slam Nails...China Glaze

Wow I haven't blogged for ages! Bad Nicola!

So to ease myself in I thought I would do a little NOTD. Its Six Nations Super Saturday and Wales are surely due the win today so I thought I would go for a bright sparkly red to help them on their way.

China Glaze polishes aren't up there with my faves but there is always an exception and I just adore the iconic Ruby Pumps. It's not just for Christmas, it's for life

yes I know I need to oil my cuticles!

Yes it needs at least 2 coats and yes I know it will have chipped by the end of the day but who cares. Its sparkly and cute. What better polish to wear whilst admiring some rugby skills*?

Happy St Patrick's Day. Happy Super 6 Nations Saturday. Go the Grand Slam and good luck to the Welsh who truly deserve the win.

Until next time .....xo

*for skills read thighs and bums....yes I'm superficial

Bright and beautiful....neon China Glaze nails

Hello!

finally I am back! easing in gently with a little NOTD....

I have been wearing a lot of dark nail colours recently - my staples being OPI Eiffel for that Colour or a mix of OPI Yoga-ta Get that Blue and Essie's Midnight Cami:

mmmm shiny....

But today being Friday and, well, a little sunny, I decided to brighten up my life via my nails.

I have loads of nail varnishes I never use. Majoring in this list are China Glaze polishes. The colours are always beautiful BUT the formulation is so dire. Thin and streaky, takes ages to dry, and always chips soon after application no matter what top coat I apply. Aye carumba I am wondering why I bothered now as I type this! However I decided to risk it for the biscuit!

I applied these two bad boys:

l-r:  Flip Flop Fantasy and Orange Knockout (Neon)

I layered the pink over the orange and got these super bright results:

being neon the pictures dont quite reflect the POW POW BOOM colour but they still look pretty fun 

How long they last - well thats another matter. But I always think bright nails are a little like inappropriate men - you know they won't be around forever but they are fun while they are!

Until next time.....
