Dreamy frozen nails

This has become a nail polish essential!

This week I have opted for much lighter colours on my nails as they were looking rather stained last time I stripped my dark pink polish off (perhaps it is time to invest in a base coat...)

I started last week with Revlon's nail art set in Silhouette, which has a lovely nude base which looks great on its own, but I decided to put the metallic top coat on too. A lovely chic start to the week!

It was quite refreshing to have neutral nails after so many bright looks. They always look smart and this polish really doesn't chip much. I also LOVE the moon candy range Revlon brought out - the dark green is too die for. I like that it's a little different from just glitter.

The colour looks more duck egg here, but it's a
real baby, sky blue

Then once the Revlon worn off a little I opted for Barry M Blue Moon. It is a very light blue and requires a few coats, but once on it is very pretty. Again it looked neat, smart but not boring!


This morning I felt like jazzing them  up a little. I have a work event this evening and wanted to make them a little more special without losing the base colour as it had lasted so well.

As you can see the Rose Quartz is well loved!

I added my favourite glitter top coat, Barry M's Rose Quartz. As the blue base is so light I decided to try doing the trapped / frozen glitter effect. Instead of putting a clear top coat on I put another very thin coat of the Blue Moon over the glitter. 

The final effect is lovely,  a much more muted glitter look. You need quite a lot of glitter to make sure it doesn't get lost once the blue coat is on top and it's really brought out the pink colour in the glitter coat. It's a little more grown up and understated.

I think I prefer my glitter to really sparkle, but this look has made a nice change!

So pretty!
