Day 15 - Your favourite nail polish and your collection

I've only started to paint my nails about 3 years ago and I'm still not amazing at it. I dont think I really have a favourite polish but I do prefer bright colours. I never really have a plan about how I'm going to paint them i just pick the first polish that jumps out at me and i never match it to my outfit! Here is my collection
these are my nail art pens,the first two are primark
 and £1.50 each the other models own and about £6

these are barbara daley for telco

the rimmel polish was free with a dorothy perkins order  last year
and the gosh is from superdrug

these are all 17 from boots

these are barry m the top ones are the crackle effect
and the bottom just solid colour

Nails of the week

It's become a bit of a ritual for me to paint my nails on a lazy Saturday while the mr catches up on tv. For years I bit my nails,I only stopped about 3 years ago and it was a hard habit to break. Today I decided to do sort of a coloured manicure. I used sally hansen hard as nails as a base and top coat, I really can't recommend this enough my nail used to be weak and brittle and now are strong and smooth. Even if I'm not wearing a colour I make sure I have two coats of this on.
The polish I used was 17 from boots the pinky colour is number 27 and the blue number 46 both from the lasting fix collection. It claims 5 days lasting wear so we'll see how it lasts with all the typing I do.
Do you have any lazy weekend rituals?
XOXO

It's all about the matte

I love this product, it's nail xtras matte top coat from 17 at boots. It was only a few pounds and works really well. You apply it over your chosen colour and it turns it matte,drying really quickly. I have put it over Barry M 262 bright red and I love the result. What do you think have you tried any other matte top coats?
