Spring has sprung!

Well, now its officially spring in the UK, I decided to update my nails in to more of a spring look. I really like how simple this mani is, it took me about 10 minutes to do and it looks so pretty!

I used Revlon - Lime Basil (which the Boots website says has been discontinuted, but I know for sure is still in stores?!) as a base, and then created flowers using the Barry M Nail Art Pen in White, which you can purchase here. I then used my Orly Dotter Duo and Barry M Silver to do a small dot in the middle of the flowers. I, of course, used Sally Hansens Double Duty bottom coat as this is by far the best one I have found. And I finished the look off with Seche Vite.

Do you have any favourite bottom or top coats that I should try? 

Essie - Spin The Bottle

Well, it's official. I have a new favourite nude polish. I don't often wear nudes as I find they look a bit weird on my skin tone. However, the new offering in Essie's hide & go chic collection really stood out to me so I picked it up to give it a try! 

It's the best nude I have used and, unlike other nudes, doesn't make my skin tone look yellow.

The only negative I have to say about this polish is the consistency of it. It's quite hard to work with which is unusual for an Essie polish. It took 3 careful coats and even then it was running on to my cuticles. 

Overall, I love this colour! What's your favourite nude? Should I add glitter to this?
