NOTD - Max Factor Mini Nail Effects Prussian Blue

Hey Lovelies!

Today I am wearing Max Factor's Mini Nail Effects "Prussian Blue". Prussian Blue is a deep blue creme leaning towards a deep green. It is completely opaque at two coats and is very shiny even without topcoat. Application was a breeze.

This was the polish I used for the base colour to my previous leopard manicure.

I am really loving the miniature bottles they are really cute and there are some gorgeous shades (expect to see some more posts featuring them in them future!). They are available from
Boots and Superdrug at £3.99.

NOTD - Leopard Nails - Max Factor Prussian Blue and Barry M Gold Foil

Hello Lovelies!

For today's manicure I have experimented with stamping once again! It will come as no surprise to most of you that I love leopard print and so the stamping plate I opted to use was Konad's M57 plate with the leopard print design! For the base colour I used two coats of Max Factor's Mini Nail Effects "Prussian Blue" which is a deep dark blue leaning towards the green side. At two coats it was completely opaque and very shiny. I then used Barry M's "Gold Foil" for the stamping polish and WOW it is just perfect for stamping! Shows up really clearly against the dark base! I stamped the leopard design onto each nail with ease and this has restored my confidence in stamping! So watch this space for more stamping mani's in the future.

Overall, I really love this mani as I think the colour combination works well and of course it's leopard print so how could I not love it?

NOTD - Models Own Vintage Pink

Hello Lovelies!

Today I am wearing Models Own's "Vintage Pink". Vintage Pink is a dusty rose pink creme. I was surprised to notice that it only required one coat for full opacity, however, I still applied two out of habit! The formula was great and easy to work with too.

Vintage Pink is the perfect name for this polish. I love this shade it looks very elegant and ladylike.

Models Own are available from their online store and Boots priced at £5 for 14ml.

NOTD - OPI Red Lights Ahead ... Where?

Morning Lovelies!

Today I am wearing OPI's "Red Lights Ahead ... Where?" from the new Holland Collection 2012.

Red Lights Ahead ... Where is a bright coral red creme. The application was amazing nearly a one coater too but I used two for full coverage. The formula on this was flawless!

I absolutely adore this and think it is the perfect colour for Spring! It's so bright and beautiful I love it!
