Polish up!

25 Apr

So firstly, I want to thank all my readers for giving me such wonderful support. I honestly never thought I would have such a positive reaction but we’re always trying to be better and I’m glad I can share some things with you that can allow you to do this!

So seeing as my beauty blog went over so well I’ll be throwing in a few here and there for you!

So, let’s talk nails! I’m a “change my polish once a week” type of girl. I’m down for trying pretty much anything because it can be removed.

I’m really into nail stickers. If you haven’t tried them, it’s a great and easy way to try different designs and they are instantly dry. Try Sally Hansen (you can find them at any drug store) and Sephora. Follow the instructions to use them but make sure you remove any residue from yor nails before you start by swiping with a bit of polish remover. After you are done applying them finish with a top coat for a longer lasting manicure. Try Seche Vite (beauty supply stores) as your top coat, because I’ve tried a ton and it’s amazing. My polish didn’t chip and it was shiny after a week!

So, Colours. Which Colours do you usually go for? Try something new this summer like a mauve (goes with almost every skin tone) or a beige. Beige is really subtle but if you have any sort of tan it will look amazing. Pink and red are great shades but they always seem to be a fall back for people who don’t know what colour to pick. I’d also suggest a plum or navy. These are dark colors but they look great with any outfit and are always in style. Always do two coats too, and wait until the first one is fully dry, your manicure looks better with two!

Blue is the new it colour right now. Although I’m a huge fan of experimenting with trends, blue nails are not for me (except dark navy) but try a tropical blue because it looks really springy. I’m not a fan for myself but I do like how lighter blue colours look amazing on darker skin tones. Try it!

Some of my favorite polish to buy: Chanel,Deborah Lippmann (they carry the best sparkly polish),Butter London, Sally Hansen, Essie & Opi.

What color will you be wearing this summer?
