Manicure Monday #4

This week's polish is NYC's In A New York Color Minute Quick Dry Polish in 228 Chelsea with Essence's Colour & Go in 112 Time For Romance over top of the ring finger! Both of these retail around the €1.99 mark, and can be purchased from Sam McCauley's Chemist & Primark stores around Ireland.

The NYC polish is a red shimmer with some pinky undertones. It reminds me of a candy apple red, as the shimmer element is not overly noticeable! The formula is thin, as it's meant to be sheer, but it is a buildable shade. The Essence polish is a deep red glitter. The formula is a little gloopy, but it works well as a top coat!

What polishes are you loving this week? How do you feel about the accent nail trend? 

Until next time,

Manicure Monday #3

This week's manicure is all about nail effects! I went for two polishes, Barry M's Instant Nail Effects Nail Paint in 319 Foil and KIKO Cosmetics Sugar Mat Nail Lacquer in 635 Wisteria. The Barry M polish retails at €5.99 from Boots, while the KIKO polish retails at €3.90.

The Barry M nail paint is a silver foil effect, and the KIKO polish is a lilac 'sugar mat', which basically means it has a textured matte finish! Metallics and pastels are very on trend this season, and what better way to wear them than on your nails! Both of these polishes are super fast drying, so are perfect for 'on the go' manis, or for those of us with very little patience!

Have you tried any nail effects polishes recently? What are your thoughts on them? Be sure to let me know in the comments!

Until next time,
