Essie's 'Rock The Boat'

Hey there everyone!

Hope you're all ok. 

I recently picked up one of the essie summer collection nail varnishes called 'Rock the Boat' on a trip to Boots (haul to come soon!). It is a beautiful pastel blue/ periwinkle colour with shimmer (hopefully you can see that in the second pic). I'm not the biggest fan of essie because I usually find that they chip super easily and cost quite a bit, although I couldn't pass on this colour.

Overall, I am super happy with this colour. At the moment there is no chipping but I will more than likely go over it with a chip-proof top coat to make sure. It's such a summery colour, I can imagine this on a super sunny hot day at the beach would look AMAZING! 

Have you tried any of the new nail varnishes in the essie 2013 summer collection?

Lots of love, Lucy

Helloo :)

I found this Barry M nail varnish in Boots about a week ago and fell in love intsantly. This wine colour is one of my favourite for autumn and I've been buying lots of scarves and tops ad things in this colour and now have an amazing nail colour to match. It looks so good I keep wanting to lick it to see if it'll taste like raspberries  although i'm almost certain it won't so i'll give it a miss.

 

These pictures make it look more red that 'raspberry' but in person the colour is much more a 'purpley-red' nearer to burgundy. I absolutely love this colour for autumn and believe it will transition well into winter and I can imagine having it on at Christmas with a glitter top coat. 

Thanks for reading. I'd love to hear what your favourite nail colour is for Autumn.

Lots of love, Lucy xx

Hello Everyone :)

Just a quick NOTD for you :)

Base Coat, Vintage Boutique, Starry Silver Glitter

I think this combination is a little odd and I wasn't sure if it would work and tbh i'm still not sure but I like it haha. I've used Avon's Vintage Boutique all over the nail which is a lovely chocolate brown, great for autumn. But I wanted something over it to spice it up a bit so went with N.Y.C's Stary Silver Glitter over the top. This has small silver glitter, multi-coloured 'rainbow' glitter and bigger hexagonal pink and blue glitters. I think the colours go quite nicely together and the glitter jazzes up the nails nicely.

Thank you for reading :)

Hey guys,

I thought i'd do a 'Nails Of The Day' today because I have one of my new Essie nail varnishes on in 'Tour De Finance' and it looks just lovely!

I painted the nails in 'Tour De Finance' which is a lovely hot pink with a purpley shimmer to it (the pictures above do it no justice). I also painted over my index finger nail with 17s glitter top coat.

What nail varnish are you wearing atm? 

Lots of love, Lucy xx
