NOTD: Blues

I have a huge (to me at least) collection of nail polishes and decided recently it was about time I started to use them all at least once.

This week for my manicure I couldn't decide which new one to wear so I just chose a variety of random blues. I was initially thinking of doing a gradient manicure but at the last minute decided to go for a random pattern instead. 

From left to right:

Beauty UK - Jade (No. 52)

Barry M - Cobalt Blue (291)

17 Lasting Fix - SeaBreeze

Missguided - Misstique

Collection 2000 - Button Moon (33)

Avon Nail Experts Liquid Freeze Spray

E.L.F. Clear Polish

Barry M Crackle in Blue (315) 

The finished look! I quite like it! I chose to only do the crackle on the ring finger as a sort of accent nail. Do excuse the poor picture and the state of my fingers! I am a nervous biter and was rushing to take pictures before I went to work :( 

Magazine Freebies

Just thought I'd write a quick post on this months cosmopolitan magazine. It has Rihanna on the cover (awesome woman!) and comes with a free Missguided nail polish. 

My first HDR picture! 

There are three colours to choose from - a gorgeous blue, a red and a pink (possibly, I can't remember!) 

I chose to get the blue polish as it's quite a unique colour and not one I seem to have in my collection. 

In this picture it looks sort of like a slightly darker Tiffany blue due to the flash. I think it's really cool that they decided not to play it so safe with their colour choices too, usually you find that magazines only give away neutral-ish colours.

I will put swatches and a review up sometime within the next week!
