Carnival Nails


Finally, a nail post! It's been such a long time since I've done one, mainly due to lack of inspiration and the fact that I seemed to be rocking variations of the same combos over and over, but finally, I have come up with something that makes me happy.
If you can excuse the less than perfect manicure ( this was taken on day four!), I have gone for a bit of Miss Sporty nail polish in gold (shade 312), and then a good dose of 'Rio Glitter's World' glitter polish, by a random brand called Hit. The polish contains turquoise, orange, pink and purple flecks and I love the contrast between these colours and the gold. To me, this look just screams 'party', which is very fitting for the festive season, although the colours themselves are not traditionally Christmassy ones.
I do think I could have layered on the glitter a bit more, but this time it wasn't the look I was going for. I'm quite happy with the way it turned out and will be experimenting with this combo again.

What's on your nails this week?

    1. Me too, now that you mention it.
      There are so many lovely glitter polishes about at the moment, I'm sure there must be at least one to suit you! They are a pain to take off though. xx

    1. I've had a hard time letting go of pastels myself, they just look so good with glitter, don't they!I'm gradually giving in to darker shades for the winter, but glitter is a must to liven them up a bit!XX
