Glitter Stripes Nail Art with Color Club


Some more stripy nail art today. Stripes are so simple to create with a bit of tape but I think they give a great effect. I've been wearing this mani for a few days now and I really love it, plus it involves my favourite polish brand, Color Club.

Nautical Nail Art - A First Attempt

Nautical nail art with stripes, using Rimmel White Hot Love nail polish - www.hairnailsetc.blogspot.co.uk / ig@amyforsythe

Negative Space Nail Art with Models Own Colour Chromes

Negative Space Nail Art with Models Own Colour Chromes: Gold, Silver and Rose - www.hairnailsetc.blogspot.co.uk | instagram.com/amyforsythe

I knew when I first tried the Colour Chrome polishes that I wanted to use them together for nail art. Since 'negative space' seems to be having a bit of a moment right now, I thought it would be a good opportunity to combine the two trends for a modern and grown up manicure.

Collective Boots Beauty Haul

Boots UK Beauty Haul - My Current Picks from the Drugstore

Another haul post. I know, I know, but with all the sales and promotions it was just too hard to resist! My only excuse is that it didn't all happen at once, some were gifts and my makeup bag was in need of a refresh.
