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: Kate Sapphire

Anyone who knows me knows that I tend to get a little obsessed about things. One of my recent obsessions is nail polish so I thought I'd do a little 'Nails of the Moment' series.

Yesterday I was bored and as we have crappy internet I decided to paint my nails. However, as it was fairly late at night my sister was asleep and therefore I couldn't borrow from her collection so I had only 3 colours to choose from that I'd brought back home with me from Uni. As I had plans to wear the other two over Christmas and New Year I was left with only one option, Kate Sapphire by Avon.

This was a limited edition for the Royal Wedding back in April 2011, hence the name. However, by the looks of it the colour is still available, or at least a very similar one, under the name Inky Blue.

When I first wore this for the Royal Wedding I wasn't too impressed, because the staying power was rubbish with it only lasting about a day. Since then, however, I have purchased a decent top coat in the form of Sally Hanson's Insta-dry and the polish seems to be staying put much better!

I absolutely love the colour itself but then I've always been a sucker for dark nail polish especially when you throw in some shimmer and make it Royal related (another of my obsessions)!
