Busy Girl Nails, Winter challenge - Blue

Week four is all about Blue in the Busy Girl Nails, Winter challenge.

 

I have a love/hate relationship with the colour Blue. It looks great on but wow is it hard work to take off. I was given a Nails Inc set for Christmas and inside was this stunning blue named Baker Street. Wow this blue is great, it gave great coverage in just to thin coats and its super glossy and smooth. very impressed - I cant wait to use the others that came in the set.

 

I added a thin layer of Models Own, Banger to add a little interest and excitement. I picked this little treasure up in their recent 50% off sale.

Busy Girl Nails, Winter challenge - Glitter

Glitter is this name of the this week.

I love glitter, I love seeing swatches of all the amazing indie glitters polishes and I'd love to add more glitter to my everyday life. I just cant seam to find a happy compromise with glitter on my own nails. Love the look, love the sparkle but I just hate taking it off!

I've used Models Own pro, Jack's Black for my base. This is the only colour that I have from MO Pro range. I like the smooth the application and glossy finish but it does have a strange smell that just hangs around in the air. I've used this little gem by Pretty that I picked up from a recent £1 shop! It's truly stunning because it has tiny gold glitter and larger gold hex glitter the finish it gives is amazing. The clear formal is thick but wow the shine is stunning.

Busy Girl Nails, Winter challenge - White

Busy Girl Nails, Winter challenge - White.

I love White nails but often find them hard to keep them plain. Its like a blank piece of paper waiting to be drawn on. For this reason I opted for nails studs to add interest without distracting from the white.

I've used Manhattan Quick dry, White. This has a super smooth formula and only needed two coats for an all over even finish. The drying time was fast so the clean up was a little tough - only because I waited too long! I used Seventeen nail studs which I found in my local Boots store for 50p.

please ignore my weird shaped pointer fingernail. it's starting to flake and peel a little bit at the edge. Not really sure why its starting to do this - I've always had strong straight nails but this little bugger decided to start flake :(

  

Busy Girl Nails Winter Nail Art Challenge - Teal

I'm joining in with another nail challenge, this one is Busy Girl Nails, Winter Nail Art Challenge.

I have started two new challenges recently but I've not been on time for either! This wasn't my intention, I had planned to have things in place and ready to go but this sadly just didn't work out.

This challenge is mainly on Instagram but I still wanting to post it here. Please follow the group and see all the other people's art. @its_linzi #busygirlnails

 

So here's my last minute entry, I know, I know, I know..... there's no nail art on my nails but there is teal, Totally teal. I had started to do a design but I just wasn't happy with it so I decided to go back to basics and keep it simple. this is two coat of No7 Totally teal. it's just perfect, it doesn't need a topcoat as it's super shinny and glossy without.
