More nails! :)

Hey guys!!

I haven't posted on my blog for what seems like aaaages as I've been so busy! But I'm back now yey :) Was in two minds what to write about today as I haven't done a make up post for a while and I'm kinda getting withdrawls, but I decided on nails as I have just done mine and am pretty damn pleased with them, plus I wanna share with you all my bargain of the month :) enjoy....

Ok so my mum and a couple of friends have been wanting me to do them a french manicure for a while now but I lost my french white polish :( so I thought to myself if I see one cheap I'll get it just until I can afford a good quality one. Anyways I was in my local Bodycare getting some toiletry essentials when I spotted a stand with these little beauties in...


There was a white and the transparent nudey colour that goes over the top. I thought they'd be ideal for now so I checked the price thinking they'd be about £1.99...... 29p they were!! I couldn't believe my luck! So I snapped up a couple and tested them out on my mam that evening. Here's the result...





I had to do a couple of coats because it is quite a thin polish but for a total of 58 pence I'm pretty pleased with that to be honest! I do love a french polish!
I also bought some fakes for myself as I'm missing my nails at the moment but can't afford them right now, so  I thought I could just about manage £1.99 to make me feel slightly more groomed :) I've had them on for 4 days now and the white tips were chipping slightly ( well what can you expect for £1.99??) so I thought I'd do a bit of DIY and paint them.... I have a thing for painting the ring finger gold at the moment (or silver, depending on what colour I use for the rest), not quite sure why :/ but I really do like the effect. So here's a couple of piccys of my nails and the colours I used...





I used Barry M Nail Paint in Mushroom, and Barry M Instant Nail Effects in Foil. I hope you all liked this post :)

Until next time,

Raphaelle xXx
