Pink Mosaic

Hi Goddesses



So today we go pink with the mosaic, AND add a twist - a white striper, instead of a black one.   If I'm honest, I'm still a little on the fence about it, and I think it probably only works because of the pinks - I can't imagine it working with reds or greens.



I used the Models Own striper which is a brush at one end and a squeezy pen at the other.  I used the pen end, and it was slightly harder to control than a brush, especially as the flow of polish isn't always even.  Also, with the Models Own pen, the stripe was very thick (in the purple post, I'll show you what a thinner pen looks like).


So the polishes on show here are - 

* base - OPI Sparrow Me The Drama
* Zoya Paige
* Zoya Moxie
* Wet n Wild - How I Met Your Magenta
* Sally Hansen Strobe Light (dupe for OPI Teenage Dream)
* China Glaze - Its Poppin
* LA Splash Sparkling Fushia (yes, spelt like that)




Firstly, I'd just trimmed my nails, and I really like this pattern on the shorter nail.  Second, the pattern on the middle finger accidentally makes it look shorter than it is lol (note to self not to do THAT again).



It was actually really hard to choose the pinks for this post.  Pink is a colour that is broad AND deep, so you go from light to dark, but also from purple-tinged to browny-tinged.   Also, each pink needed to be at least 2 demi-tones different to the next pink in the line, otherwise the variance in colour didn't show.  Come to think of it, how DID I end up with so many pinks ?  Anyway ....




I really like the finished effect and this one drew a lot of gasps and compliments.  It somehow manages to be cute without being over-cute.   Which has been your favourite so far ?



Enjoy xx :)

NAILS I LOVE - Zoya - PAIGE

Nails I Love

Nails I Love is written to celebrate some of the most beautiful nail varnishes on earth and to help you choose which colours and styles will suit you. 

Each posting will feature details about the colour as well as photos.  I guarantee every photo will show the varnish as it looks on your fingers, otherwise, what’s the point ? 

Top Tip – if you’re ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give you plenty of contrasts and compares.

ZOYA – Paige



Oh, Paige, how I love you.

Deep creamy raspberry, beautiful berry perfection, gorgeous muted cerise  – there are too many ways to sigh over Paige.  Significantly darker than it looks in the bottle, this is just a dream – super glossy and divine.



In some lights this takes on a deeper hue, edging towards ruby, but for the most part this is a joyous, bubbly confection of a colour.  Perfect for dark yet happy nails, and a great alternative if you’re tiring of burgundy. 



Browner than magenta, purpler than red, this has a depth that’s almost hypnotising.  Rich, raspberry goodness and almost good enough to eat J
