A cop out today I'm afraid. Wore my work clothes (boring) then my dance clothes (boring) then my PJs (boring) but I did put on my dressing gown for a bit so thought I'd feature that. I love it, it's so fluffy and it's animal print!

A little OPI splurge

I had a little splurge on some new OPI nail varnishes today. I absolutely adore OPI and I love my new purchases have completely excited me.

Here are my new purchases from today. They are from left to right: The Spy Who Loved Me, The Man With The Golden Gun (more about this later), Skyfall, Goldeneye and Thanks a Windmillion.

The first four are from the James Bond Collection, I already had Live And Let Die and The Living Daylights which has given me a lovely 6 from the collection. Aren't they beautiful?

This rounds out my OPI collection to a lovely 7. I think I'm getting there....

I recently upgraded my make up case to my nail varnish as my collection has become so huge. The case has perfect storage for my Nails Inc varnishes with my accessories, OPI varnishes and other brands in the base.

With these new additions to my rather epic nail varnish collection I decided to do a new manicure today. I had to use the The Man With The Golden Gun, this is a top coat which is made up of flecks of real 18k Gold. How could I not use it?? It will probably be the only bit of real gold I'll ever own!

I decided to use Skyfall as a base on all fingers except my ring finger and cover it with the The Man With The Golden Gun. On my ring finger I used Goldeneye. 

I am loving this!! I was a little impatient so I didn't do a great job, which you can particularly see on my little finger! However, I still absolutely love the real gold flecks....it works so well!! What do you think?

Blue nails not blue shoes...

I wanted to try a five finger nail art manicure, where I created a different look on every finger. 

I used a base coat of Baker Street by Nails Inc on all of my nails. 

Thumb: I used Floral Street by Nails Inc and a nail art brush to create a gradient of spots that started very dense on the top right of the nail and faded in the bottom left of the nail.

Index finger: Using Princes Street by Nails Inc and the nail art brush again I did two stripes to the left of centre of the nail.

Middle finger: I used nail glitters in a similar shade to Baker Street all over the nail. 

Ring finger: I filled in half the nail on a diagonal using Royal Mews by Nails Inc (which appears to not be available anymore)

Little finger: Again, I covered the nail in glitter but this time in a lighter shade to the middle finger.

What do you think? I love the variety and how they all fit in the same theme.

My right hand was worse, as is always the way, but I did the same 5 designs but changed which finger they were on. 

Still obsessed by nail art

So I may have been a bit quiet recently but my obsession for nail art continues. Here are some highlights.

Glitter I got some nail glitter for Christmas and have used it for both full set of nails and ring finger accent. I prefer the ring finger accent.

Ring finger nail art Using the Models Own nail art pen I created some ring finger accents. With all 3 designs and used a different colour on the ring finger as well as using nail art.

The first is a tribal design using a grey on 4 of my fingers and white with a black design on the ring finger. 

The second is 2 shades of blue with black stripes and spots. Simple but effective. 

The third is my favourite and really simple. A grey on the 4 fingers and a gorgeous Nails Inc silver on the ring finger with a simple heart in the corner.

Marbled nails These were my marbled nails for Easter. I love the colours.

Shattered nails I shattered four of my fingers over a red shade and on the ring finger I just used a black varnish.

Nail stickers These were super cheap in Superdrug, can't remember the brand. I like them but I don't love them, they didn't look great close up and came off quite quickly. Good fun though.
