Quick French Manicure!

Hi Everyone!

I haven't posted for a few days, because I haven't been online much, due to it being SO hot here that it's hard to sit with a laptop anywhere near me for too long!!

I like hot weather but I hate sleeping in it...or should I say not sleeping in it.. Isn't it funny how when I go on holiday somewhere hot it doesn't bother me at all but here it just completely knackers me!

I shouldn't complain really, I'm sure the rain will soon be back :)

Anyway I haven't done much with my nails the past few days because as I said in my previous post, I've been giving them a bit of a breather! Tonight though I went out with some friends and just couldn't resist doing a quick french manicure before I went!


I chose BarryM's mint green because I'm in love with it at the moment :)

You can see some of the yellowness of my nails....eurgh! Drives me mad.....

This was 2 coats of base, 2 coats of BarryM mint green and then a top coat of a glitter polish that I think came from Debenhams originally.

As I said, I did this in quite a rush so it's nothing exciting really, but perfect for a summers evening out, I thought.

I can't take any pictures in the sunlight as I plan to take this off after I've finished writing this!

I have been shopping SO much this week but not bought myself any nail polish at all!! Scandalous! I, unfortunately, had to be sensible and buy clothes for once because it was getting to the point where all I had to wear out was nail polish and makeup ;)

I'm going for a long weekend in London soon with a few of my friends and I have been frantically searching for some comfortable but pretty shoes. I have the most sensitive feet in the world, I get blisters just walking to the car!!! I have really high arches which apparently doesn't help. I just don't want to be the one moaning every 2mins about my feet! Any ideas that would help would be appreciated!

So that's all for now! I'm off to stand by the fridge for a while!

BarryM Mint Green

Today's choice of nail polish was decided purely by a package I received this morning. Joyce from MarbleNails sent me a fantastic nail art pen (picture right at bottom of this post) and I wanted to wear a colour that I could use the pen on. So I thought it'd be a good opportunity to try out BarryM's Mint Green.

I've been seeing this colour on lots of other people's blogs and I almost didn't bother getting it because it's not the type of colour Iusually go for but I have to say I LOVE it!

It's such a pretty, summery colour. The application, as always with BarryM, was really good and there was hardly any clean up needed. There are 3 coats in these pictures.

So more and more I'm learning to try out things I wouldn't normally consider :)

Then I got to try out my new nail art pen. As you can see from the below pictures I didn't exactly go mad but I'm easing myself into the nail art thing gently (artistic is not my middle name!)

I think it turned out ok though. Simple but cute :)

Don't I have the wrinkliest palms?! I hate them. They've always been like that from childhood.

Below is a picture of the nail art pen Joyce sent me. Thank you so much Joyce!

As always don't forget to click on the pictures to get the full effect!

Hope you guys are all having a fab weekend!
