Pastel coloured nails dominated the spring 2012 runways.
Armani, Marc Jacobs and Chanel sent their models out sporting nails dipped in
creamy beiges, soft lemons and rose pinks. I've recreated this feminine look
but by putting my own spin on it - adding a sparkly gold making it a little
less demure. I've used Essence nail polishes which I love. Their wearability is
just as good as other budget brands such as 17 and Rimmel and at just €1.29 a pop you can throw two or three
into your shopping basket without feeling too guilty.
I started by putting on a base coat, currently I'm using
Sally Hansen Diamond Shine Base & Top Coat. Then I applied two thin coats
of the nude polish letting it dry completely between coats. This helps prevent
chipping. Next I applied the gold polish; using small vertical strokes I
covered just the tips of the nails. After this dried I applied the gel-look
topcoat. This gives a really glossy shine, much better than the Sally Hansen.
