.Mint Glitter Nails.


Finally got hold of Essie's Mint Candy Apple Green!

I was going to do some kind of Tiffany Box white bow creation (another time) before i remembered the gigantic pile of glitter that Goldleaf sent me so i grabbed a bag of Holographic Glitter* and sprinkled away! This photo honestly doesn’t do the glitter any justice - it’s so sparkly!!! Every time i move my hand it catches my eye and i say a little ‘oooo’ inside. It’s super super fine so you get a real shine with it and it looks really professional, the only problem is it gets everywhere if you’re a bit clumsy like me! May have to invest in a little pot to keep this one in.

Polish: Essie Mint Candy Apple Green & Barry M Silver Foil. The design i used was from Bundle Monster’s 212 plate and of course the beautiful glitter* was from Goldleaf.

You can get your mitts on a 40g bag of this glitter HERE for just over £3 delivered. Just remember to catch the excess glitter in something and a 40g bag will last you forever!

Have you tried Essie’s beautiful Mint Candy Apple Green - do you love it as much as i do?

.Model's Own Nyla Nude Swatch.


This is the first of three colours Model's Own sent me called Nyla Nude* and it’s a gorgeous orangey nude, perfect for summer. On their website it does look a little more beige (i struggled to find the swatch at first!) but this photo is a good representation of the final colour. Like other Model’s Own polishes i’ve tried this colour goes on really well as it’s quite thick - two coats is more than enough to get an opaque finish. It self-levels well too so don’t be concerned if it looks a bit streaky at first because it will dry to a smooth finish.

I’ve painted it with Essie’s Mint Candy Apple Green and Master Plan on the accent nail and i think it goes really well, such a lovely summery effect! This manicure also has a top coat of Seche Vite to finish it off.

What's your favourite nude?
