Bonjour my beauts! Hope you're having a
lovely weekend!
Today was a good day having returned
from a most blissful & hands down the best Indian Head Massage I
have ever had in my life. I booked the treatment through Wahanda &
I think I may have found a miracle worker within my own town no less!
Happy days!
Today's nails feature a spot o' bling
detail in the form of some pretty crystal stack rings, who doesn't
love a bit of sparkle eh? But more on those later. For this mani I
went down the vintage route leaving a half moon at the bottom
of the nail bare. I love this style of manicure, so chic!
For my base colour I used this
gorgeous minty turquoise crème polish from Cynthia Rowley which is sadly
nameless. I found this brand in TK Maxx & was intrigued to try &
I love it. Lovely crème formula & the shade is such a mood
lifter!
Using a hole punch reinforcer sticker
for the vintage half moon, which I simply stuck down on the bottom
half of the nail, I painted two coats of the minty green, removing
the sticker while polish is still wet. Don't worry if the edge isn't
neat, as it gets covered up later.
I then applied a few coats of this
divine polish Naiade, isn't that such a pretty name? This is actually
an indie polish that I picked up in a blog sale yonks ago! Naiade,
which in Greek mythology means flowing water, is a sheer turquoise
with opalescent glitter & flakies that shimmer oh so prettily.
J'adore!
Finally I reached for my nail art
wheels & picked some pretty pearls to go around the edge of the
bare half moons. Not only does adding rhinestones this way jazz up a
mani beautifully, but it also covers up the edge of your half moons,
so you don't need to worry about clean up for a neat curve!
Seal it all with a good few coats of
topcoat to secure the pearls & you're done :) Now going back to
those pretty rings, I find myself getting back in to the flow of accessorizing more, especially rings! I discovered the online
jewellery brand HugoSophia on Twitter & immediately fell in love
with their stunning pieces which include the most eye catching
necklaces & pretty rings, including this lovely set of Black
Crystal Midi Rings.
The set includes 4 metallic rings of
different sizes embedded with sparkly crystals. The different widths
of each mean they can be worn on different fingers in a manner of
different ways & I just love how they bling up the manicure! My
wishlist for HugoSophia is growing at an alarming rate! Unfortunately
the Black Crystal Midi Rings are currently sold out, but I do believe
the site is regularly updated. So if you're after some decently
priced yet stunning bling then I definitely recommend you check them
out!
Thanks for reading lovelies!
Lotsa love to ya!
