Candy Nails

A few days ago I posted about a new O.P.I nail varnish from their Kardashian Kolor collection - Rainbow in the S-kylie. I absolutely love this super colourful and glittery nail varnish - it's full of sparkle and fun and I used two coats plus a few extra splodges to get a real kaleidoscope effect.

Unfortunately it only lasted a couple of days, as it chipped and peeled away really easily. I still love it, but it's definitely not tough enough to last you a week, so I recommend using it for a night out or a special occasion to really make an impact.

I did discover a fab new way of using it just now though. I applied two coats of my new Parma Violet nail varnish from 17 at Boots (a bargain at £1.99) and then I applied one coat of the O.P.I. The effect is a gorgeous candy colour which looks like it's been dipped in rainbow sugar. I am absolutely in love with it! I can't wait to try this out on my other new pastel colours...I think this will be my signature nail look this season!

I've put an image of both stages below. What do you think? Would you try a glittery top coat? Enjoy x

Hello from a very snowy London!

I hope wherever you are you are warm and having fun in the snow.

We had an amazing snow down last night and when we woke up this morning, it was a proper winter wonderland. Just so gorgeous!

Well, there was nothing really to do apart from snuggle up in bed, make lots of tea, watch movies and paint my nails with my brand new nail varnish from O.P.I. I got this colour on Friday when I popped into Westfield London. I've been trying to find Rainbow Connection from the Muppet collection for ages, but when I enquired at the shop, they quickly introduced me to this brand new shade. The varnish is from the new Nicole by O.P.I collection (as in Nicole Kardashian) and is a spitting image of Rainbow Connection, filled with loads of colourful glitter in lots of different sizes. Considering that I was on route to see Totem by Cirque De Soleil, I was feeling kind of theatrical, so I bought it!

I applied the varnish today, and I love it! I found that I had to dollop it on rather than spread it, in order to get the most sparkle. I did two coats and I might do another for even more impact, but the results are below. What do you think? Enjoy x
