Current favourite nail polish colours!

Last Week I spoke about how due to the current situation, I now have a lot more time on my hands to do things I love but often don't have time for.  One of those things is painting my nails, especially now I have had time to get a sun tan haha! 

I have always loved getting my nails done or doing them myself to save a bit of money and over the past few weeks I have found it relaxing and also a good way to take my mind off things. So, I thought I would share with you some colours I have been loving! 

For a good 5+ years I have used Barry M nail polish as I find they have a good array of colours and the brush is great for applying with a just a few strokes.  Depending on the colour depends on how many coats you need, but I have found 2 coats does the job just fine! 

1. Cotton - This is by far my all time favourite colour nail polish to wear all year round.  I just think it is a great colour that will go with any outfit and now I have a nice tan, it looks even better as it stands out!  

2. Damson - This blue is a great colour to brighten the day and really did cheer me up during these uncertain times.  I started with this shade on my fingers and have also tried it on my toes and it looked equally as good!

3. Berry Sorbet - This one os again another colour that looks amazing with a tan!  It is a great summery colour that I think comes out a lot brighter than it may look in the bottle, especially after the second coat! 

4. Kiss me quick - I must admit, I was a bit sceptical as to whether this was true or not but I was pleasantly surprised at how quick it dried!  The colour is gorgeous both with a tan and without and similar to the shade cotton, I found this colour worked great with all outfits.  

I would love to know what shades of nail polish you are loving right now, make sure you leave a comment below! 

Nail Colours I've been loving

I have always loved having painted nails. I love that you can change the colours and make them fit any occasion or season. I will admit I don't always have the longest nails and I am no pro nail artist! But I I thought I would share with you some nail colours I have been loving recently. 

I buy most of my nail  polish from Barry M however recently I have branched out to Essie and am loving their polishes! They are both easy to apply and depending on the colour, only need 1-2 coats. 

My all time favourite colour is white. I think it is one of those colours you can wear all year round and it looks good. It works well with the pale skin I have now and when I have more of a tan in summer so I LOVE it! 

Another colour I am loving right now is Essie cocktail bling. It is a pale blue with grey tones to it and to me it looks very soft and cosy - perfect for this colder weather we are having! 

This next colour is one of my favourites when I have a tan and I am trying to still make it work despite having paler skin now. Let me know whether you think it still works as I am not so sure... might have to fake tan when I wear this one! I also want to note the different background as the colour didn't really show in the lighting I used for the rest of the colours. Annoying I know, but hey ho. 

I am trying to be braver with my colour choices and step out of my comfort zone. So, I decided to try this forest green and have fallen in love. The more I wear it, the more I like it! I think this works well for the autumn/ winter months with the changes of the seasonal colours and the lead into christmas tree season (yes, I am already mentioning christmas!). 

These next two colours are very similar, however one is slightly more darker than the other. Both are very in keeping with the autumnal season at the moment, however I also love this deep purple/red for smart events. This first one is the slightly darker of the two, Essie soul mate: 

This is the lighter of the two, Barry M Crush. I would say this one has more pink undertones whereas the Essie colour above has more purple which makes it slightly darker. But both look stunning! 

I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know what nail colours you are loving right now!
