Nails | Pastels for a Non-Pastel Girl

Hi lovelies! I'm am not the girliest girl there is, so whenever spring and summer come around I often feel a little bit lost in the sea of pastel nail colours. Over the past couple of years I have managed to broaden my horizons from red, black and more red. Here are a couple of lighter colours I have been loving lately. 

Nails | The Perfect Nude

Hi lovelies! I would just like to say that hands are really awkward things to photograph. And I guess you don't really notice that until you're looking through a mega-zoom lens. Anyways onto the nail polish. I don't know if any of you remember from my last nail post (handy link here) but my job allows me the extensive choice of red or nude nails. 

Ever since I started I was on the hunt for that elusive perfect nude. And it was harder to find than I anticipated. Some were too brown, some too nude, some too pink. It's amazing how many variations on skin tone are out there. When the Barry M Gelly Polishes were released last year I saw a shade that looked perfect. Sadly I live about 16, 000 kilometres away from purchasing the polishes in store.
