Nail Of The Day: Chanel Ballerina

Ballerina by Chanel is a very sheer creamy colour. I bought it after seeing someone else wearing it and thought it looked really pretty.

After using the polish myself I think the lady that I saw it on must have used quite a few coats of it as it didn't look this sheer on her nails. It does give your nails a nice healthy look but I don't think that it is worth the money I paid for it and they have gone up since then! I think they now retail at £18. If it was a slightly less creamy colour it could be great for a french manicure or if the formulation was slightly more opaque it could work as a nude-ish colour, but for me, it's not a colour I often reach for!

Do you think this is worth the £18 price tag?

Olympic 2012 Nail Art

It's the opening day of the Olympics and I have gotten into the spirit of things by creating a nail art design inspired by the 2012 logo and the Olympic rings!

These are the products that I used:

And here is the video if you would like to see how I did it!

What sports will you be watching this Olympics?

Nail Of The Day: China Glaze Sunset Sail

When I bought China Glaze's Sunset Sail I was after a nude polish, something like Essie's Topless and Barefoot but I was in Sally's and they don't stock Essie Polishes so I decided on this colour instead.

I would say it has a slightly peachier tone than Essie Topless and Barefoot and isn't a creme polish either with a  very sublte shimmer to it. Although I generally prefer flat, creme polishes, the shimmer in this one is so subtle I barely notice it's there and I feel like it just adds a bit of extra glossiness to the overall finish. I also think this is probably a better colour for me than the pinkier toned Essie colour and I love wearing it so much as I feel it makes my fingers look lovely and long! :)

What's your favourite nude polish?

Black Studded Rock Chick Nails

So I know that these aren't the most summery nails for this time of year but it has been cold and raining all day where I am and the dark colour fitted with the weather!

These black studded nails are really easy to do, just a tad time consuming...so if you're short for time, why not make it a ring finger manicure instead?!

4th of July Nails

I know I already did a video of an American flag last year but the quality of the video/lighting wasn't great so I thought I would film you all a new one :) I created a new design for this year.

These are the products I used: 

Hope you have a great 4th of July if you're in America!
