Valentine Nails ♡

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I hope your all having a lovely day, whatever you're doing. I don't think Valentine's is just for couples - its a day all about sharing the love and spreading some happiness. 

I'm not doing anything today sadly. My boyfriend is a busy-bee and is stuck at work so we're having our Valentine's day tomorrow and going out for some yummy food. Today I've been giving myself a little pamper and decided to do a valentine's day inspired manicure - its extra easy but looks extra cute, what isn't cute about little hearts? (I am such a girl). 

I started by applying a base coat, I used the Sally Hansen Double Duty Top & Base Coat. I then painted my ring finger nails in a pretty peachy-pink colour, I used Nails Inc InStyle Peach Sorbet for this. I then painted the rest of my nails in red by using the Nails Inc polish in St. James - a perfect true red. Using a nail art brush I create the little heart on my ring finger by placing three dots and then joining them up. I found this is the easiest way to get a perfect heart shape. If you don't have a nail art brush then I recommend using the end of a bobby pin or a tooth pick. I then sealed the polish with the Sally Hansen Double Duty Top & Base Coat - and there you have it, super-duper easy Valentine nails.

Thank-you all for being such a lovely group of followers and I can't believe I'm 2 followers away from 200, madness. It means so much to me that you all read and enjoy my blog and I hope you have a wonderful weekend. ♡

p.s. this isn't sponsored etc by Nails Inc I just happened to use both of their polishes as they're my favourites. 

♡ Rimmel Metal Rush Nail Polish ♡

Top to Bottom - Pearly Queen layered over a pale pink, Pearly Queen alone, Royal Blue.

I had these lovely nail polishes for my birthday so I thought I would do a quick post on them as they are just so darn pretty and they are part of Rimmel's new A/W collection (and I kind-of wanted to try out my new nail wheels , how swish!)

I have the shades Royal Blue, a teal blue shade with a purple iridescence and Pearly Queen, a lilac pearl with a greeny iridescence. As you can see in the image above there are three shades swatched. I swatched Pearly Queen on top of a pale pink because its very sheer worn alone, you can't tell by the swatch but alone you can see the white tip of your nail beneath the polish (no matter how many coats) and I really don't like the look of it but as a top coat its really pretty.

I actually really love these polishes especially Royal Blue. The formula is really smooth which makes it really easy to get perfectly painted nails each time. The brush is also really wide which is something I look for when choosing polishes as I find it makes painting my nails quicker and easier.

I love the idea of these polishes that you can get a "two shades in one" kind-of look. When you move your nails back and forth the shades will switch, for example Royal Blue switches from teal to purple, which is why I think these polishes are extra special. I really want to get my hands on Purple Reign which is a berry shade.

I am also really liking the rest Rimmel's new A/W collection, I think they've really 'pulled it out of the bag'.

These polishes are just £3.99 (bargain!) and can be found at Boots.

What do you think of these polishes? Do you have/will you be getting some?
