i dont like plain nails. i get sad.

I don't paint my nails a lot. This is because my work only allows professionally applied gel nails. So, whenever I need a bit of colour, I just head on over to my favourite salon and choose from their (slightly limited) colour selection. But - since I had a few days off from work recently, I decided to pick up a new nail polish shade and have some fun.

At first, I was searching for a soft baby pink...but then I came across this shade called Melon from Joe Fresh. It was such a great price (about $4) that I couldn't resist. As for the shade, it is a gorgeous melon colour...but it's pretty bright, too. Definitely fun for spring. Even if Spring has been slow to arrive. For this nail look, I decided to kick things up a notch by adding on a bit of silver glitter polish to the pinkies. I'm not super skilled with nail art, but I love the little pop of glitter.

Overall, I was super happy with how my nails turned out. I really wish I could paint my nails more often! So, here it is. The finished look:


Do you paint your nails often? What do you think about this colour?

  10. This colour kind of reminds me of Essie's Tart Deco, one of my all time favourite polishes. Such a great colour for spring summer.

  21. sadly, I'm still battling nail biting, it's not as bad as before so I'll be able to start exploring more nail manicure funness; in the meantime I can live vicariously through beauty babes like you!
