Another installment: Barry M Speedy's Full Throttle

The first Barry M Speedy (Pit Stop) went down so well, there just had to be another one to review as I did have quite a splurge in town when I bought these polishes! So next up on the list is Full Throttle, which is a pastel orange colour. This was certainly an impulse decision as it's not a colour I normally go for. But I saw it and needed to have it, surprisingly I don't regret it even when bringing it home or wearing it. If you need evidence follow me...

Simple Nail Art - Three Waves!

Nail art is making an appearance! Despite it being relatively simple, it's still a current favourite. It's been heavily featured lately on instagram (found here and here) as it's easy peasy and has a fabulous effect. Only ingredients you guys need is three polishes which have a curved edge (this makes it effortless, but if you only have flat edges you'll need an additional dotting tool) that are opaque on top of each other. Then all you need to do is copy the design below, there's no brains required. If you're interested take a further look: 

Lovely Muted Pastel: Elderberry by Barry M.

Despite the fact that the new ever so lovely autumn polishes have just been released by Barry M, today's post is a feature of one of the spring/summer release polishes. Elderberry has been purchased recently as there's been a hankering for pastel, supposedly because they are much calmer colours. It was a love at application polish, it appears so subtle and pretty. Here's some more photographs to prove it:  

A Different Textured Polish: Barry M's Atlantic Road!

It's probably well known by you guys that texturized polish was heavily doubted by myself until the discovery of the Sugar Coat collection by Sally Hansen which changed all perceptions of the textured effect. Making it unbeatable and unstoppable. Barry M just might have managed to catch up with this lovely blue pastel polish, that they admittedly released a while ago but it's come to Addicted To Nails... now. Here's some of the lovely looking swatches: 

A Fresh Bright Blue: Rimmel's Too Cool To Tango

Today is Saturday and this is going to be a swatch post, making this swatch Saturday! It's another Rimmel polish which was done by pure accident, it's not pure love and I promise some different brands next week for a change. Too Cool To Tango is a brilliant pastel blue with a slight edge seeing as it's a little bit brighter than a normal pastel making it perfect for summer. (Instead of the spring pastels.) Shall we see more of this lovely polish?

Another Cute Pastel: Barry M's Sugar Apple.

Pastels are just so cute, as they freshen up the nails from the normal bold and brave colours, as well as the occasional nude and natural colours.  Today's post is no exception to these lovely colours despite the fact it's now summer and not spring. Yippee!  Normally pink and blue pastels take priority in the colour collection, however it's a fresh new colour today as well.

Easy nail art: Three Waves.

It's no secret that nail art makes rare appearances on this little blog but today is an exception. This is a simple nail art combination which has been used by many nail bloggers so I can't sadly pinpoint where this design came from - it certainly wasn't me! Spring has come to a close soon however my colour choice radar hasn't realised this yet, they are still a great love so they are going to appear today:

Aren't they a cute combination!? Well they are all pastels so they were all going to match anyway. They are 702 Marshmallow Heaven - Rimmel, 100 Pink Blink - Sally Hansen Insta-Dry and Huckleberry - Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine.  So onto the base coat and then the design!

Polka Dot Gradient Design - Guest Post!

One of this year's new years resolutions was to stick to a posting schedule so that the lovely readers know what to expect and don't get confused, however today's an exception to this rule. The exception comes in the form of a polka dot gradient design created with the famous dotting tools.

In order to see this little rule breaker post with my little ramblings, you'll have to pop over to the brilliant The Sequined Nail and click on Guest Post: Grace from Addicted to Nails.... It's definitely worth your while as The Sequined Nail has been followed by myself ever since the beginning giving brilliant nail polish designs and inspiration! And finally this doesn't mean you'll be seeing less posts this week as an exception has been made. :)

Spring Colour Recommendations - Guest Post

It's spring finally so I've done a little post on colour choices for your nails this time of year, instead of the usual GOT challenge. Hopefully it'll brighten up your day as they are very sweet colours and there in skittle manicure formation!

Now today's full post requires a little bit of work on your half, as it's a guest post on Em's Little Corner in this lovely little post Guest Post by Grace from Addicted To Nails... so why don't you head on over?

GOT Challenge: Pastel

Hello, it's that time of the week again! But it's going to be rather a quick post seeing as I've got to go out again in just a moment - sorry. Today's theme is pastel which is quite surprising that it's gone so well as normally these colours aren't picked first when buying. However today has three very complimentary colours:

The names of these lovely polishes are; 503 Mind The Gap, Victoria by Rimmel 60 Seconds, 145 Porceline Pink by Maybelline Forever Strong and 320 Blue Sky by NYC in a minute. When planning this little post it was decided seeing as the last few that I could remember were basic colours, I'd add some spots on to the nails at the end!
