'Tis The Season Of Glitter


The month of December is the month for wearing as much glitter as you can. However if, like me, you aren't one to stand out from the crowd and prefer a much more subtle display then nail varnish is the way to go. Like many in the winter months my wardrobe is pretty monochrome so sprucing up your nails with a glittery topcoat on all nails or just one as an accent nail is the way to go. I won't lie to you I spent about 5 minutes standing in front of the Essie counter trying to figure out which of the four glitter shades Essie have released this year to purchase. As you can see I went for the deep gold version. So far I have only used it over darker colours on on my ring fingers as an accent colour but as the weeks go by and Christmas gets closer I'm sure I won't be able to resist and glitter will be everywhere. For if not at Christmas time then when can you? I am dangerously close to purchasing the silver alternative to balance my options out, I'll keep you posted.

Going Darker


As soon as the long sunny days of summer cease the bright nail colours of summer are replaced with much darker versions. I much prefer a darker nail polish, for some reason it brings an element of chic to an outfit and can really bring your outfit up to the next level. It's such a simple statement and I have two favourites to achieve this look. Of course they both come from nail varnish royalty Essie which I am yet to find faults with, apart from maybe the price when I'm feeling particularly stingy.
