On the ball City! Football nails

Good evening lovelies

Much to the surprise of many people... I am actually a keen football fan. I am luckily enough to live in a city whose football team is currently enjoying a spell in the English Premier League.

I designed these nails for a friend of mine but of course had to test them out on myself first :-)

For this look I started with two colours from the NYC In a New York Colour Minute collection - the stunning green is called High Line Green and the bright yellow is called Lexington Yellow. Both colours applied exceptionally well especially when you consider this range is available at £2.49 for two polishes.

Using my gold hex glitters from the Born Pretty Store I then applied NCFC to fingers before using my black nail art pen to write the now famous slogan... On the ball City on my thumb.

These individual glitters are so pretty and could make any plan manicure look fantastic :-).

Good Luck for the rest of the season Norwich City Football Club

Jelly Glitter Sandwich

Creating a jelly glitter sandwich has been on my to do list for a while. When I first purchased this very sheer but pretty nude polish I knew I would save it for this very occasion. Here is a picture of the finished jelly glitter nude sandwich.

To create this look I started with two coats of Barry M Nude. This polish is a sheer jelly that would not build to a full coverage no matter how many coats you applied. Other bloggers have described this polish as your-nails-but-better and I have to agree. It evened out the discoloration I have from constant wear of brightly coloured polish and made my nails look shiny, healthy and natural.

To create the sandwich filling I used a clear based glitter polish which contains a mixture of gold hex glitters and lots of micro fine glitter particles. It was part of a set from Primark (of all places) and whilst it smells very strongly of chemicals I really love how it looks.

To complete the sandwich I then turned back to Barry M Nude and added another two coats on top of the glitter. This creates a really pretty but subtle look as it stops the gold glitter from looking quite so bright.

What do you think of my finished jelly glitter sandwich? Is this a look you would go for?

Thanks for reading
