I've been trying to take more care of my appearance of late,
particularly my nails, which seems to have led to me developing somewhat
of an obsession with buying nail varnish. Two recent shades include Deep Sea Blue by George at Asda and a Blue Glitter by Barry M, which I
layered this week to match a necklace (that's right, I'm that type of
girl).
As both my mother and Zsa often tell me, I am like a magpie
when it comes to anything sparkly and as soon as I saw this necklace in
Dorothy Perkins I knew I had to have it, regardless of whether or not it
was my style. I decided to layer it over a white collared shirt and
black round neck jumper, paired with blue jeans to make the look more
casual, and I must say I am now very much a fan of this type of
ensemble. I'm already thinking of other ways to
create a similar look using different accessories and colours. My outfit
did get a few comparisons to the style of Caroline Flack over the course
of the day (I'm not sure if this is a good thing) which I suppose I can
see, must be my expertly dip dyed hair*.
Overall I was really
pleased with how well this varnish lasted, it went on easily and didn't
chip until the fifth day, however I must say it was an absolute bitch
to get off. As much as I love the look of glitter varnish I usually have
to resort to picking it off once it starts to chip as removing it with
cotton wool and nail varnish remover tends to create a mess - if anyone
knows of an easy way to remove glitter polish do share, you'd make my
life.
