For this week's Manicure Monday I chose to do a bright barbie pink from Attitude, I chose the colour "Bubblegum." I love Attitude as their polish lasts really well without chipping and is super opaque. 

Method:

1. File all nails so they're even and there are no hang nails.

2. Apply a base coat to prevent staining the nail.

3. Paint on the first layer of nail varnish.

4. Once the first layer is dry, apply the second layer of polish.

5. After the second layer of polish is dry apply a top coat

For this week's Manicure Monday I decided to show write about the nails that I did for Halloween. I went for a black and gold nail to match my costume which will be shown in this week's What I Wore Wednesday. I used Essence "Black is Back" and 17 "copper" even though it's more of a gold colour.

Method:

1. To begin I filed my nails to stop myself getting any hangnails.

2. I then applied a base coat to prevent discolouring.

3. I then painted all of my nails with the exception of my ring fingers with the black polish.

4. Once the first coat of black was dry, I applied a second coat.

5. Once the other nails had dried, I then applied the gold polish to my two ring fingers.

6. After the first coat of gold polish dried, I painted on a second.

7. Once all of the nails were dry, I applied a top coat to prevent chipping.

For this week's Manicure Monday I thought I would show you a Halloween inspired nail. I went for a relatively simple nail, using an orange background and then on my ring fingers I drew the outline of a pumpkin. For the orange I used Essence's "Flashy Pumpkin" (what could be more Halloween!), the black was "Black is Back" also by Essence and I used E.LF's "Teal Bule" for the stem of the pumpkin.

Method:

                                                                                                                             (step 3)

1. To begin, I filed my nails so they were even and that there were no hang nails.

2. I applied a base coat to prevent discolouring.

3. I painted the first coat of "flashy pumpkin" on all of my nails.

4. Once the first coat was dry, I applied a second coat of "flashy pumpkin."

5. After the second coat dried, using a thin nail brush I drew the outline of a pumpkin on my ring fingers (think of doing two c's facing each other.) with "black is back."

6. Once the outline had tried, I got another thin nail brush and drew a small green stalk on top of the pumpkin using "teal bule."

7. Once the ring fingers were both completely dry, I applied a top coat.

(step 5)

This week's Manicure Monday is an updated post dedicated to my storage for all my nail polishes and manicure products. I have an Alex drawer from Ikea which I store all my make up products in (there will be an updated post on my make up storage soon too.) Anyway I use the third drawer for all my manicure needs.

The drawer itself stores my all my nail products as well as all of my perfumes. I have two of the little plastic drawers from my old storage in the drawer that house the different parts.

In the back of the drawer I have a manicure set and I have some fragranced lotions and my perfumes surround the two plastic drawers.

The first plastic drawer which I keep more towards the back of the actual drawer stores all my manicure necessities. In it I have all of my nail files, hand lotions, nail scissors and more. 

In front of that I have the second plastic drawer which stores all my nail polishes, as you can see that is quite crammed that I should probably figure out a different way of storing them but for now I'll keep them that way until I think of something.

That's it for this week's Manicure Monday, I hope you enjoyed today's blog!
