AW14 Nails

I'm a massive fan of changing up my nails in the winter months and always switch things up and go with completely different shades to what I wear in the Summer and Spring. I thought I would share with you the top 5 nail varnishes I shall be using for the next few months.

Nails Inc - Kate Spade Noir
This is my favorite black nail varnish as it comes out in such a nice dark deep colour and doesn't chip that easy so it's my go to varnish that I can partner with all my outfits. Nails Inc is available at Boots for £11.

Essie - Bahama Mama
My favorite thing about this product is the name it's so catchy and I always find myself repeating it throughout the day! It's a lovely deep burgundy colour which I tend to wear as an everyday varnish, I find it last's for ages and I only need one coat with this product to get a nice shade, it's available from Boot's for £7.99.

Barry M - Mango Gelly Hi Shine
This shade is quite a bright shade for AW but I love wearing it on nights out as it has the Gelly Hi Shine added it goes well when I need an outfit brighten up. The product has a good wear off around 3 days and looks great after just one coat but to get the nice shine effect I would always suggest two coats. It's available from Boots and Superdrug for £3.99.

Technic - Ruby Slippers 
This is my go to product for around Christmas time, it's a gorgeous glittery red which looks amazing with a Christmas jumper as it's fun and colourful I love wearing it. It's really easy to remove unlike most glitters and it lasts a good few days, you can buy it online from around £1.99

OPI - Super Bass Shatter
I love this polish in winter as it's a really deep dark purple but with it's shatter effect it puts a great effect onto the nails to spruce it up either for daytime wear or evening wear. I find it doesn't last as long as I think it should but it's such a good effect I can't really complain. It's available from Debenhams for £11.50.

I hope you liked this post let me know what varnishes you will be reaching for this AW!

OPI Nail Lacquer Super Bass Shatter Review

I was given this product in my Secret Santa box this year and am pleasantly surprised with how well it worked and the end results. I was at first stuck with what polish to place under the purple so I had a mooch online and saw that people were using a pink so I went for my Barry M Bright Pink and also used my Orly Base coat as I would be applying quite a lot on my nails so I wanted to keep my nails nice and protected.

So I painted my nails and waited for them to dry and then painted them with the Opi nail varnish which at first looked like normal nail varnish and then began to crack and create a shattered effect on my nails. It looks great and works really well over the pink, it also reminds me off mini eggs the design you sometimes get on the eggs!

The paint lasted around 2-3 days on my nails so it wasn't a great formulation but if I use a top coat next time I'm sure I can push it to 4-5 days. The price was £10.95 but as this is from the Nicki Minaj range and they no longer stock it you can find the range now on Amazon and Ebay at £3.95.
