Rainy Day Nails

Hello lovelies! 

The weather here is DIRE. It's July. And it's raining. ALL. THE. TIME. 

Now this sucks, but I decided to make the best of it so here we have: rainy day nails! :) 

The lovely, beautiful Marnie from my polish birthday club sent me Girly Bits - January Morning in my birthday package! I was soooo excited. I've wanted January morning for ages. So for this mani I layered January Morning over China Glaze - Elephant Walk from the China Glaze Safari Collection (which I LOVE). On the accent nails I put China Glaze - Snowglobe which is one of my all time favourite glitters ever. I love the different coloured glitter and the way the colours shift in different lights. It really does look like a snowglobe and it looks fab over any colour. On the other nails I did some clouds with China Glaze - White on White and Collection 2000 Hot Looks - Angel Wings for the accents on the clouds and the raindrops. I love the way January morning just shimmers and sparkles in the background. It makes me almost like rainy days. Except when I have to go outside in them. BOO!

 

See the shrinkage on my accent nails... UGH I did that nail TWICE to try and stop it, and both times it did that. Is that just Seche Vite? Or is it something I'm doing wrong? I'm using a new base coat - Essie Nourish me... could that be causing shrinkage? Or is it just too many layers of polish. Anyway.

What do you think of these? Is it raining where you are or are you one of those lucky ones who live in sunnier climes? If so can I come and live with you please? I'm FED UP of all this rain :)

Thanks for looking

Mismatched muted mani - My favourite things!

So after my awful splatter fail, I did a mismatched mani which basically consists of all the things I like to do best on my nails - Bows with little heart rhinestones, pink with gret, one glitter nail and stripes! This is my nail zen.

Ahhh that's better :)

I used:

Thumb:

China Glaze - For Audrey

Forefinger:

A-england - Iseult 

A-england- excalibur

Middle Finger:

Chick Nails - Gr8 Grey Owl

A-england - Iseult

China Glaze - White on White

Models Own - Pink Blush

Ring Finger:

China Glaze - Full Spectrum

Little Finger

Zoya - Cho

Models Own - Pink Blush

I used Full Spectrum from the CG Prismatics collection which I 'accidentally' bought all of... whoops. They're AMMAZING! When I have time I'll try and do swatches of all of them.

What do you think of this? I like the muted tones. 

Thanks so much for looking
