Nails of the Moment: Camden Lock

For the past few days we've been treated to some lovely Spring weather here in Bangorland so I was wanting to pait my nails a nice light colour. Unfortunately 99% of my nail polish collection is dark winter colours so I decided to crack out Camden Lock by Nails Inc. and give that a try.


I first used two layers of Barry M's Matt White and then put 1 or 2 layers of Camden Lock over the top. 1 or 2, what? Let me explain. While Camden Lock starts off really sparse, which I actually quite liked, as I moved along, for some annoying reason the glitter got denser and denser so I had to go back an put a second layer on some of the first nails to even it all out. It really was a pain in the backside to apply compared to other glitter polishes I've used.


To be honest, Camden Lock was a little disappointing. I don't hate the look but I don't love it anywhere near as much as I wanted to.

Nails of the Moment: Milan & Privileged

Merry Christmas Eve everyone! Only one more sleep to go!

Anyway, onto the actual post...

Last Friday I had a party to attend so I decided to get my nails into the Christmas spirit.


I started out with 2 coats of Milan by Nails Inc which was a limited edition for Coca Cola and so unsurprisingly it's a coca cola red. Shocking, I know! 

To make my nails that little bit more Christmassy I layered Privileged, again by Nails Inc, on top which is a flakey green glitter overglaze which looks so much better than my rubbish description! Unfortunately, this too was part of a Limited Edition Gossip Girl Duo. Blame my sister, they're her polishes...


I absolutely love this look for Christmas, particularly as from far away it just looks like you've gone for a classic and simple red and then it isn't until you get up close that you see the awesomeness of the top coat!

The staying power of this look has been pretty impressive. It's four days since I painted them and they still look near perfect! Let's just hope they last until tomorrow.

I hope you all have a lovely day tomorrow and I'll see you on the other side!
