Summer Blues Nails Inc Of The Day

Hey there petals, are we all still enjoying the glorious sunshine? And of course complaining about the humidity and such! You know you're all doing it :)

Me?  I'm loving the long summer days but feel my wardrobe is totally unprepared for such tropics! See there I go now... never happy us Brits!

Well not strictly true as I'm pretty ecstatic about this nails polish. 

Such a gorgeous colour for you guys and dolls today. It's blue which seem to where my heart lies these days... but hey I'm a Pisces, a little fish, a water sign and my birthstone is aquamarine so obviously its beyond my control that I own so many blue polishes!

This particular blue is St James Square and it's brought to you by Nails Inc. I love this shade, so much so I actually reapplied it within a few days of removing it. UTTERLY UNHEARD OF! It's such a flattering colour and seriously lushty teamed with a white vest top and statement necklace. 

Let your nails do the talking!

I added Nails Inc feathers in Brigton just to give it a lil kick and some matte stripes across one nail as I was in a faffy fettle and like to keep mind occupied whilst watching big brother of a night time!

I know the stripes are somewhat wonky but I blame the fact I had a nasty little fright as I was painting them...

Ok so picture the scene, in jarmas, curled up on sofa, surrounded by nail stuff, cup of tea in the Katy Perry mug and big brothers bit on the side on the telly and then BAMBAMBAM  my eyes are assaulted by Rylan's new gnashers. 

I literally recoiled in horror! And every time I've seen them since it's like the first time!

(Still love him like!

Honest Rylan it's not you it's the chompers!

Focus Kate! Back to the topic!

Soooo I have the entire Nails Inc Feathers Collection and after muchos deliberation I think that Brighton with its yellow blue and turquoise flecks is my current fave. 

I'm easily lead though so flash hot pink feather polish under my nose and we can perhaps renegotiate favourite status' ok!

All the rings I'm wearing are from shopdixi and I've had loads of comments about them. I cannot get enough of midi rings right now. Cuteness yes?

Oh and before I go remember I said I wore this polish twice in week? Well I wasn't lying and here's the photographic evidence! I actually think I prefer this look? 

Its the Royal Mews Holographic that swings it for me, it glistens like ocean (tenuous water theme link there!) and it looks different in every light.

 I played it safe and just went with an accent nail but I'm thinking it's so gorge I need to show case it properly!

(Sit tight for holographic jazz hands!!)

What's the colour that you just can't put down? Any thoughts?

Baby Shades Jessica Nails Of The Day

Hello all :) What we like? Getting excited for the bank holiday weekend? I am! Even though I've no plans other than transforming my house into a something worthy of gracing the pages of beautiful homes magazine... I'm seeing clean lines, soft fabrics, a Moroccan vibe, vintage pieces...  That's the vision anyway!

Speaking of visions, when it comes to my nails I've been lacking in inspiration over last few days... even resorted to 'baring all' and just slicking on the nail envy! (SHOCK)  So today I thought enough is enough and thought I'll paint em purple. That didn't happen though, for some reason I was drawn to some pastel shades and I decided to pick a beaut baby pink and baby blue combo... Don't know why maybe I'm broody???

So pretty even if I say so myself

As i've banged on about mentioned before Leighton Denny and Nails Inc are where it's in terms of nail products for me (and i think our Leighton just edges it) but I do have plenty other brands in my stock, OPI, Essie and Barry M to name a few. Today though it was a Jessica Mani that I fancied...

L-R Shake It Strawberry & Barely Blueberry

 How lovely are these colours though? I stumbled upon them by accident really, I had charged into Fenwicks one day like a lady possessed in desperate search for OPI's Mod About You, that wasn't in stock (cue mini melt down) but I when I clapped eyes on Strawberry Shake It I thought it was a close enough match (PHEW)... It worked to pacify me anyway!

BUT of course I couldn't just pop that into my basket, oh dear god no, never buy just one of anything, always at least two (and emphasis on the 'at least' part!) So to prevent it from being lonely I paired it up with Barely Blueberry (and if my memory serves me, also some nail art pens and some benefit make-up... I was in Fenwicks though,  so what's a girl to do?).

Oh and of course I ordered OPI's Mod About You online later that day... And YES they are practically identical, as I already knew but once I set my mind on something I become obsessed and psychotic determined to make it happen... I lose the ability to apply logic to anything! I have insight though so it makes it ok! Doesn't it?

I really love this look, massive fan of opague varnishes and Jessica polish glides on so easily the smooth, glossy finish feels effortless. Also can't complain about the drying the time and only needed two coats for full coverage. And boy oh boy I can whinge so me being unable to complain is almost unheard of!! 

And because I had a spare five minutes and dotting tool to hand i added a few blue spots on my ring finger just to bring it all together :)

TAAADAAA

And Eeee just noticed my nails match my blog too, how's that for coordination??? Also please try and ignore my smudgy thumb... My 2 year old son Indie saw my nails and was like "oooh can I touch them Mammy?" ... Evidently we are still working on his understanding of the word NO! :)

My poor smudged thumb... Naughty Indie!

Do we like? What colours are you loving at the minute?
