Starry Pink Friday | Scrapbook Nails

I'm not usually a baby pink polish fan, but I love this colour! It's really opaque for a creme shade, and only took two coats for full coverage. It's not streaky at all, but the formula is quite thick.

I added chunky purple stars in a diagonal line across all nails to liven it up a bit, but even on it's own this colour is beautiful.

After wearing this for a day, I mattefied my nails. The colour matte looks luuuush, it almost makes it even more girly. I also think the matte top coat helped to keep the stars on too. It's a bit thicker then your average topcoat, and as the stars aren't flat, the extra layer helped keep 'em in place!

I think this colour would make a great base for a glitter sandwich. That might just have to be done...!

I used:
Base coat - No7, So Smooth
Base colour-  OPI, Pink Friday (Nicki Minaj collection)
Top coat - China Glaze, Fast Forward Top Coat
Matte top coat (added day 2) - Topshop Nails, Matte Top Coat




^^ Here you can see how far the stars come off my nails. Love the 3D feel of them!

Candy Cane Nails

So my candy cane nails didn't turn out how I'd hoped, but I still think they looked quite nice.

Instead of the ring finger being different, I had my pinky nail different, adding a layer of glitter on top of a solid red base.

I used:

Base - OPI, Alpine Snow

Stripes & pinky - RIO, metallic red nail art pen

Glitter - OPI, I Lily Love You

I decided to add a matte topcoat.

Boots, No 7, Stay Perfect Matte Top Coat

Matte black with a splash of colour

This is one of my favourite looks. It was a simple black base with colourful stickers put on top, then the whole lot mattified.
