Nails: Top 5 Spring Polishes 2017

Barry M - Cotton // Barry M - Holographic Lights // Avon - Lilac Love // Nails Inc - Star Street // Barry M - Dragon Fruit

Spring actually began a few weeks ago so I am a little late in doing this post, but after missing last year I thought it would still be good to share my picks for 2017. You can see my picks from 2013 here, 2014 here and 2015 here. Of course you don't need these specific brands and colours but something along these lines are very Spring appropriate, if that is what you are looking for.

Then and Now Throwback Nails: Nautical Theme

I haven't done a then and now throwback nails for a while. It is interesting to look back at how much I have learned and improved upon over the past seven years of nail blogging.


Back in 2011 I did these nautical themed nails, looking at these I am pretty sure I freehanded the stripes as well as the anchors. Also these are that old I can't find the blog post I shared them in because I didn't tag things in a coherent way then!


Base Polish: Models Own - True Blue

Today I used striping tape to create a more straight line, although the top coat dragging is very frustrating! I also stamped both the the anchors rather than freehanding them.
