NOTD -my fair manicure

The other day I picked up Marie claire and recieved a Ciate Nail Polish in 'My Fair Lady'and was disspaointed that its 'full coverage' was actually very sheer. i then decided it would be perfect as a base to a french manicure  and so i have ended up with these nails....

To create this i used 2 coats of ciate my fair lady and then on the tips i used two coats of 2true french manicure nail tip white and then over the top to smooth everything down i used another coat of my fair lady (yes it really is that sheer!) 

until next time

NOTD - Summer Polka Dots

I really wanted something interesting and summery on my nails.. and after buying the nail varnishes i wanted to use them! so this is what i came up with.. not very original or neat but its only my first attempt!


For the Background I used 17 Lasting Finish Nail Varnish in Mint Choc Chip, and for the polka dots i used 17 Lasting Finish Nail Varnish in Pink Grapefruit

Until Next time

NOTD - MUA shade 5

I now own 3 of the MUA nail varnishes and considering they only cost a pound they are pretty good quality. Shade 5 is a light turquoise colour and I think it is just the perfect colour for summer, it brightens up just about anything! As for the coverage (as i have found with all three colours I own) they do take a few coats to get rid of any nail underneath.. however the coats dry really quickly so there's no time difference between that and a normal two coat nail varnish! Heres the picture:



Overall these nail varnishes are deifnitley worth more than the pound you spend on them and have super colour payoff.. i will definitley be buying more next time I'm in superdrug!

Until next time, Laura

NOTD - Collection 2000 Show Off


I love the collection 2000 Hot Looks nail varnish range, there are so many colours to choose from and cost less that £2.. however they do chip fairly easily and and go gloopy after a couple of months. having said this there isnt too much product in the bottle and you could use most of it before it goes gloopy, then just add a couple of drops of nail varnish remover to bring it back to life. The colour pay off is very good and you could leave them at one coat.. but I do two just to make the colour have more depth to it. Here are my pictures!




As you can tell its a very vibrant blue, sorry about the pictures they were taken last night, but you can still see the bright colour and the shimmer which is very clear. overall these nail varnish has a thumbs up from me.

Until Next time
