Before we get to the good stuff I just had to share this amazing diagram I found on Pintrest yesterday. And the best thing about this is that it works! I used the technique it depicts when I did this manicure and proceeded to paint the neatest job I have ever managed to achieve… See ~
And that’s before the tidy up!
Top Tip: For the best tutorial on cleaning up a manicure that I ever come across go here.

On my nails:
~ BYS Polish in Matte Aqua
~ Konad Plate m80 & m40

I am really loving solid cream polishes at the moment. This lovely blue by BYS is more of a sky or bluebird blue rather than an aqua ~ so it’s a bit misnamed in my opinion, but it’s still a gorgeous colour. And as always, any excuse to add a bit of sparkle to my nails in the form of these tiny deco gems is more than welcome!
I really enjoy creating nail art ~ there is something about the small, temporary canvases that are your finger nails that holds a strong appeal to the artist in me. I am not sure whether it’s the limited space, or the myriad of different colours you can use, or the multitude of looks that you can create, or the fact that you can start anew any time you like.
Either one of those reasons are good enough for me ~ I like to give myself a manicure whenever I can{which isn’t always as often as I would like these days!} It is somewhat of weekly ritual now, so of course my polish collection is slowly expanding! I am keeping my eye out for a good light purple polish, because I don’t have one yet. I am really craving lilacs and duck egg teals, and of course you can never go wrong with fairy floss pink. Pastels are great for spring and I think they work really well with a vintage wardrobe as you can see from this delightful 1950s Revlon ad.
What are your favourite colours to splash on your nails?
