NOTD: Blinging Mint

As you know, I very recently did a nail of the day post but a mix of bordum and a touch of heavy lifting left my changing up my blinging french manicure for something less sophisicated but still as bling worthy. Im still loving 'Razzmatazz', a nail polish from TopShop so I wanted to encorporate it into another post.

This time I decided on a solid colour base and of course my eyes were drawn to 'Jade Stone' by Model's Own. It is a gorgeous mint green colour and a nice dupe for Essie's Mint Candy Apple in my opinion. I then topped this with a coat of Razzmatazz. 

'Jade Stone' with 'Razzmatazz on top

What I love about Razzmatazz is how densely packed the glitter is. Too often I find a gorgeous glitter polish to apply it and you are left with a barely noticeable coat of glitter. This polish is jam packed with lots of blue and silver tints to it. Unfortunately when you picture this look the camera picks up the blue in the glitter meaning the base doesn't look as green as it should be but I assure you it is a gorgeous minty green.

As you can also see my nails got a good chop this week. I love my nails long but as I have short nail beds my long nails curl in slightly when they are getting very long. Its nice to have them short for a change, but you do miss the length when you have an itch :)

What is your go to summer colour?

    1. Sorry for only replying now! Yes it is £6 which is a bargain really as I have seen more expensive glitter polishes with a far bigger price tag!
