Nail of the Day | Autumn Berry

I can’t help but feel Autumn coming upon us in full force, and I love it. Clothes are getting darker, thicker and fluffier, and full on smoky make-up looks are now absolutely okay to wear on a daily basis. After a short break from the old polish to give my nails some breathing time, I decided to let my nails reflect the colder weather that I love so much, and the winter fashion that comes with it.

One thing I love about the Autumnal months is the gorgeous berry colours that flood into the shops. If I could pull off these colours all year round, I absolutely would. But there’s something quite nice about waiting until it starts getting colder and darker to bring those plum tones out. This week I’m finally bringing out an old favourite of mine when it comes to nail polishes, with a metallic plummy purple base. And it wouldn’t be a nail done by me without a little bit of art thrown in there now would it?! So I’ve gone for a silver and black floral style pattern on my ring finger to add a little bit of something different.

I really like how this has turned out and cannot wait to keep on showing off those berry tones both through my clothes, and through my nails too.

Nail of the Day | Geometric Metallics

20140918_150302   20140918_150340

I know I’ve already posted today. But I’ve just painted my nails and simply couldn’t resist sharing my nail of the day with you all!

After giving my nails a few days to breathe after removing my previous dark blue nail, I replaced it with a more metallic, slightly geometric number. Being right handed made painting this design onto my right hand a bit of a mare, but with a pretty steady hand I think I’ve just about managed to get it all looking nice and even across both of my hands!

To create this look I used Rimmel London Metal Rush in 60 Royal Blue on the base (sadly I don’t think they sell this anymore), then used one of my nail art polishes in silver to create the geometric pattern. I love love love how this has turned out.
