Hexagon of the Silver Screen.

I'm back after a little tiny break and as celebration I thought I'd sit down and actually spend some time prettifying my nails. I'm very pleased with these! I don't normally go for having a different thing on every nail but I've been inspired by some of my fellow bloggers who have done something similar. You are all very talented and awesome and below is my attempt to pretend I even come a little bit close to being as talented as you are.

So I've used one of my favourite polishes as the base, it's Nail Pop Shade 11, Dove. I have this shade and Chino which is the nude version, absolutely love them, they're long lasting, really glossy, quick drying and they give a great full coverage after two coats. Next I used a nail art brush to do the stripes and covered my ring finger in full with Revlon's Silver Screen and finished them off with my Born Pretty hexagonal pieces of glitter. They're still quite subtle but I love the shine of Silver Screen and it looks awesome in all kinds of lighting! More pics to follow;

And below Nail Pop's Dove after two coats. Love it!

Nail Pop; not nude, but wearing Chinos

I promised myself I'd let my nails breathe for the night and do this tomorrow but I couldn't resist. New polish, Nail Pop, I've got it in two colours so I'll try the other one soon too. I've just gone for the simple nude shade, or "Chino, Shade 7", because I'm working all next week so I need something that is understated and can chip as much as I like without me minding too much. So here's some pictures;

Three coats but it looked great after two, I just needed to do some patching up after my dodgy painting. My nails are pretty short right now too for reason mentioned above. It's quite a nice polish, quick drying, super smooth, no bubbles and glossier than some of my other polishes.

Haven't used a top coat, I might, just to seal it but I'll see tomorrow. Pretty pleased with this, my other shade is a light gray. I bought them to use as base coats for other designs but this one's nice for just an understated coverage whilst I'm playing with cameras next week.
