MANICURE MONDAY 02

WINTER WHITE EDITION

Maybelline Color Show in Winter Easy
H&M glitter polish in Jo is in the house.
Reading the news recently I wasn't surprised to see a story that there was going to be heavy snowfall in the UK. The same story comes around every year, the whole population freaks out, and then there is barely a flurry to be seen. It's funny because if even a centimetre of snow falls, the entire country comes to a standstill, with people panic buying bread and milk.

Anyway, inspired by the snowy news, I picked up a winter white nail polish from the Maybelline Color Show line, to mix with a bit of glitter to create snowflake, frosty nails. I would love it if the white was more opaque, but I do love the little sparkle of the glitter over the top. Perfect for party season, don't you think?


I have a few Color Show polishes and the are reat value for money for just £2.99 - £3.99 a piece. They go on super smooth and dry to a lovely shiny finish. You are better off with 3 thin coats as opposed to 2 thick ones, to keep the look even, instead of streaks. Here are some of my party favourites from Color Show, all available at Superdrug...

1) Dazzle.
2) Cool Blue.
3) Love Lilac.
4) Ocean Blue.
5) Tutti Fruiti.
6) Vinyl Black.


Can you tell I'm favouring a certain colour palette for the winter season? What have you been wearing on your nails for manicure monday?

  1. I kind of love how ridiculous we get in this country when it snows, it's like our weird British tradition! These nails are so pretty, I really love white and silver together. Tutti Frutti looks like a gorgeous colour too! And YES, I'd love to send you a card as well, I'll DM you on Twitter xx

  5. I'm in love with this Gems! So stunningly pretty. The snowflake effect is just so iridescent it's unreal. Beautiful.
    Seriously I think we all need to hail the queen of nails ;) You will most definitely be the belle of any ball rocking this gorgeous mani :)

    I agree, last winter I remember everyone got all panicky about the snowfall and there never was the slightest drizzle o.O To be honest I really hope it doesn't snow this year, it really causes so much hassle. Fingers crossed hey?! <3

    I've been going for berry tones and dark reds :D They are my fav and are perfect for fall! Cant' wait to start wearing green and red together in December.
