Back To Barbie!

Call me crazy but I've gone backwards! Don't get me wrong it's fun to be all quirky and trendy but I've been chanelling my inner Barbie with my latest beauty choices with a full head of blonde highlights and baby pink nails!

Having spent 4 hours in the beauty salon on Tuesday I came out revived and ready for yet another style change. Keeping up with the street-chic grunge looks can be quite depressing and, truth be told, I was hoping the baggy beanies and slouchy sneakers would be left in the Winter months along with the snow and fluffy socks.

Anyhow, I chose OPI's Pink Friday for my main colour then OPI's Pussy Galore for that cheeky nail that everyone decides to mix up:

So, who was in my Nail Look Book this month? A very eclectic mix, I can tell you! From Katie Price to Blake Lively I'm loving everyone and anyone blonde and pink at the moment:

 

It's not just me gettin' my Barb on, either, as it seems the colour pink is making the fashion rounds at the moment - even HRH The Queen rocked up to the Races in a pastel pink ensemble:





 

Barbie never looked so good!

Natural Nails

After disgracefully taking off ALL of my acrylics over the weekend in true unladylike style I decided to get a fresh full set all nice and natural!

THIS is my new look:

 

 

I love the pale, creamy look that I've got! Perfect for pretty much most outfits - I'll never clash with my nails! The polish is from Misa Nail Lacquer in Snow White.

 

This is my mini lookbook/ inspirations for the new mani:

 

 

I love the way a natural mani can look classy and stylish even when you're trying to dress up. Don't get me wrong, I'm not about to wear my embellished turquoise underwear as outerwear like Blake, or match my nails with my 1,000,000,000 carat rings, but the pearly finish dresses up my fingers quite delicately!

Spring Pastel Mani

Got my nails done today - wayyy overdue as the other ones were cracking off all over the place!

 

Loren Ridinger Tweeted THIS:

 

 

Which I simply ADORE - the layered design, the pretty pastels, the dainty shape: It is all so perfect for the Spring transition.

 

I decided I wanted something like that - but with a bit more attitude.

So I got THIS:

 

 

A combination of:

 

Essie Castaway

 

Orly Snowcone

 

& Technician's own Gold polish

 

I LOVE to mix up my nails art every now and then to add a little pizazz to proceedings! I'm so glad to have them cut down too - I couldn't even do my shirt buttons up this morning!

 

What other nail trends are there at the moment? Has anyone tried the nail wraps before? I may experiment with them in the future.

Bring The Sunshine!!

Yes, it IS snowing and yes, it IS below zero degrees... BUT bring a little warmth to your look this week by rocking bright nails!

The trend of the moment is supposed to be embracing nude and simple nails... Yet I'd prefer not to pay £25 for a boring high-shine, colour-free look that wont get noticed by anyone!

I've opted for this Essie polish in the lovely vibrant shade of Capri! It reminds me of my impending Dominican Republic holiday... I say impending... It is actually in September...Sighhhhhhhhhh...

At least my nails will shine bright this week... Even if I'm slipping and sliding all over this ice and snow! What are you wearing?

Happy painting!
