Manicure Monday!

It is Monday which can only mean another Manicure Monday! yay!

 

 

This week I am wearing a new nail polish I got last week so this was the first time wearing it.  It is Cosmic Blue by W7.  I was actually quite disappointed with this at first, it was very thin and not much glitter.  With a lot of glitter type nail polishes this is the case but the colour through the bottle looked like it would go on better.  I applied 3 layers of it along with my usual 2 base layers of OPI Nail Strengthener and a top coat of it too.  I like the colour though.  I don't often wear blue but I think this looks very cute.

 

Last week I ordered a few things from E.L.F and was so excited to find they'd arrived at my parents today.  I will do an ELF haul blog tomorrow for it. :)

 

Also I am now on TWITTER and INSTAGRAM so feel free to follow me.

Manicure Monday!

I seem to have got myself into a routine.  Every Monday morning (after I've dropped my daughter off at nursery) I paint my nails, I have no idea when or how this started.  As I've mentioned in a previous post I love nail polish, however I am a nail biter.  I know, I know - big no-no but it is an anxiety thing.  I try really hard not to bite my nails, I even used that stuff you put on your nails that tastes horrible to discourage nail biting but it didn't work. 

 

I swear by the OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener.  Miracle worker for my nails!  I got it as part of a Minnie Mouse OPI collection my mum bought me last year.  It works from the first application and you can see a visible difference straight away. You start off with 2 coats to your bare nails and then put one coat on every day to maintain it.  You can also use it with nail polish which means you can still wear your favourite nail polish as long as you've put the first 2 applications on underneath it.  Amazon is selling it for £8.94 which is the best price I can find online for it, everywhere else I've found is selling it for £18.99!

 

So for this week I am wearing.....

 

 

It is Lilac Dream by Models Own.  I only bought this nail polish the other day and it is my first Models Own nail polish.  They are doing a deal at the moment that you get 5 polishes for £20 and at £5 a bottle that is basically buy 4 get 1 free! Bargain!  I was dying to try all the colours I ordered but decided on the lilac one.

 

I have bought quite a few things over the last week so I will do a haul blog possibly later today or tomorrow.

Nails of the Week

I am a massive nail polish fan, I feel weird not having any colour on my nails so I've always got something on them.  This week my nails look like this....

 

 

Note - I am not the best at applying nail polish, I do get it on my skin from time to time! hehe

 

This is the Nicole by OPI Kardashian Kolors, the shade is Disco Dolls.  It is a lovely gold colour with lots of sparkle.  I usually put 2 coats of it on.  I cannot find these in the UK anymore, I was lucky to buy a few of them a while ago.  I don't think they are doing them anymore as they seem to have nail polish in the Kardashian Beauty collection.  Of all the Kardashian Kolors I bought this one is definitely my favourite but it can be a pain to remove even when using 2 base coats and a top coat.  I need to soak my nails in the remover for a couple of minutes before wiping them.

 

In other news, my daughter has got her first mouth ulcer so my poor cookie isn't very well today.  There isn't much I can do for her either as you can't give bonjela to kids anymore so we are gargling salt water and when I say we I mean WE as I am having to do it too or she refuses. hehe
