China Glaze 'Pink Voltage'

Hello! Today I have a quick China Glaze swatch to share with you. I recently got my hands on a couple of their older neon polishes - thank you to Timea (@rampartnails). They have been sat in my swatch pile for a few weeks now, and with the end of Summer is approaching I decided I needed to wear at least one. I went for 'Shocking Pink'.

Cadbury Inspired Nails

Hello lovelies! Today I'm off to Cadbury World with my boyfriend for his birthday (yum!), and of course I had to do some inspired nails to match. I wasn't entirely sure what to do, so started with a deep purple base and went from there. This is what I came up with. Read on for more info and to see how I did it!

Pretty Serious Cosmetics 'Can't Take The Sky' (Pantone Duo)

Hello! Today I have a quick Pretty Serious Cosmetics swatch to share with you. They have recently released a limited duo inspired by the Pantone colours of the year for 2016 - 'Can't Take The Sky' (periwinkle), and 'Use The Quartz, Lone Starr!' (pale pink). Unfortunately I didn't think that the pink would suit me, so have only purchased 'Can't Take The Sky' for now. Read on for my swatch and more info!
