NOTD: A Little Zest

Hey Everybody. I am watching SuperScrimpers while blogging away. Who else loves this programme? Today I have a NOTD post for you.

I fancied a bit of a blank canvas on my nails with a touch of colour so I added a bit of zest. I started with one coat of my Rimmel base coat followed by two coats of the O.P.I. Nail Lacquer Funny Bunny. I then used the striper part of my StarGazer Nail Art pens in the shades Yellow and UV Green to add dashes of random zesty colour. It's a bit childlike, but it's a quick and easy way to add a little bit of quirk to the nails. I then finished off the manicure with my Elegant Touch Rapid Dry Nail Spray.

O.P.I. Nail Lacquer Funny Bunny ~ An off white shade that is a little translucent so needs at least three coats to be fully opaque, £7.45 for 15ml or $5.30.

StarGazer Nail Art pens in the shades:

Yellow ~ A bold primary yellow shade

UV Green ~ A fluoro green shade

The StarGazer Nail Art Pens can either be bought singular or in sets of the regular colours and UV colours. There are so many places to buy them so it's best to use your search engine to find the best deal for you.

What simple nail art do you like to do when time is of the essence, but you still want to add a touch of difference? let me know in the comments below.

Love to you all

NOTD: One Shade Of Grey

Well hello Beauty Addicts. I hope you are all enjoying a rather chilled out Sunday. I woke up with a banging headache, but it was self inflicted. Instead of our usual lunch time Xmas meal out at work we decided to go bowling. We played 2 games and had burger and chips included for just £15. It was so much fun, especially with the night time lights and cool tunes. A few of us girls then went on to a bar/club to have a few drinks and dance the night away. It's a shame the weather was so rubbish, but it was worth it. Did you all have a good Saturday night?

I painted my nails and took photos, but with the evening light the photos didn't come out to well so I took some more this morning for this NOTD post. Please excuse the slight chipping as that's the trauma of bowling :)

I applied one coat of my Alessandro Pro White as a base, followed by two coats of this Barry M Nail Paint in the shade Grey (293). As with all Barry M Nail Paints I always get a very finished manicure. With two coats the job is done. No streaking, no fuss. I finished off with one coat of my Nails Inc. Kensington Caviar Topcoat that I received in my November GlossyBox. As you can see this manicure lasted very well through two games of bowling. You can pick this Nail Paint up for £2.75 in this link.

Are you into any shades of grey for your nails? Do you have any Barry M favourites? Let me know in the comments below.

Love to you all
