NOTD: Barry M Mushroom / Sally Hansen Time To Shine


Lately I have been a bit (more than a bit) obsessed with Instagram and in particular looking at the #NOTD tag on there and from doing so I noticed all the different ways girls are painting their nails now. Instead of just an accent nail painted a different colour which has been a trend as of late, I noticed girls painting two 'accent' nails or even including their thumb nail into the mix aswell and decided I wanted to try that out myself. 

L-R: Barry M in Mushroom and Sally Hansen in Time To Shine

I realise my thumb is out of the picture but I chose to stick to just two nails in a different colour and painted my thumb nail in Mushroom too. I'm not really sure how much I like this combo and as you can see from the picture Mushroom dries a lot darker on the nail than what it appears in the bottle (pictured is after I applied two coats) which I always find a bit disappointing. On a more positive note though, three days into wearing these neither of them have really chipped. 

I absolutely love all the Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear polish I've tried and wish they were easier to get hold of in the UK!

Sparkly NOTD!


Hey guys! Let me first apologise that I wasn't able to take this picture in natural day light, it's not even 3pm here but it's been dark and dreary all day.. Is it crazy windy where you are? It sure is here!

I don't wear sparkle or glitter on my nails too often but tonight the family and I are going out for a meal to celebrate my nephew's pre-birthday (his actual birthday is on Christmas Day, so we like to do something a couple of days before as well) and due to that and the fact that it is Christmas time, I wanted to do something more festive and sparkly with my nails. I know that red is the typical colour for Christmas but I'm saving to that to wear on Christmas day itself and instead went with Models Own Utopia with NYC's Gramercy Glitz on top. I put on two coats of each but definitely thicker coats of the NYC polish because I wanted to it be extra glitzy! 

I probably won't be posting again until after Christmas, so Merry Christmas everyone!
