METALLIC NUDE FRENCH MANICURE

I'm not a huge fan of French manicures.  The old pink and white look just doesn't appeal to me for some reason.  On the rare occasion that I do decide to wear this classic look I always give it a little bit of a twist.

Orly Rage

A quick nail post about a polish that I just can't get enough of recently.  Orly Rage is a gorgeous metallic rose gold.  I can't think of anything I don't like about this polish.  The colour is beautiful and I love the pretty foil finish.

Pantone Colour Of The Year 2013

So Pantone has announced that their colour of the year for 2013 is emerald.  Not one of my personal favourites but I think it could make for some interesting and fresh make up looks for spring and summer.

1. Midori Pressed Eyeshadow Sugarpill  -  £8.95
2. Metallic Liquid Eyeliner Barry M  -  £4.79
3. Powder Mono Eyeshadow Dior  -  £21.50

What do you think of Pantone's choice of colour?  Love it or hate it?

On Wednesdays We Wear Pink - Week 1

I decided to do this to brighten up my blog a little. I love pink and have lots of various different shades so I thought it would be fun to see how many weeks I could do this for!

For my first week I decided to go full on neon pink with Purple Crush by Orly. Although there is purple in the title I wouldn't consider this to be a purple at all. It's a hot, hot pink with a blue base. I'd say its maybe between cerise and fuchsia.

(Apologies for the naff little photo.  I couldn't get the right light at home so I ended up taking one on the way to work on my phone!  ^_^)
