NOTD - Matte Coral Nails

Okay so I only managed to get one picture of these nails before my camera died...boo!  Seeing as I am on mat leave I am making the most of painting my nails (waitressing means I can't usually paint them at work).

  This year I have been loving mint and coral - I mean loving!  Anything in these shades tends to end up in my basket, can't say my purse likes that.

I have had this matte top coat for a while now and I haven't really used it much.  I tend to stick it on after my nails have been painted normally for a couple of days - just to get a different look from the same polish.  It is from Rimmel and there isn't too much to say to be honest - it makes your polish matte in one coat and doesn't take too long to dry - what more could you ask for?

The coral polish is Coral Craze 342 from the Maybelline Colour Show range.  It is a brilliant Summer colour and looks great with a tan!  I would say it take two coats to make it truly opaque like a lot of colours.  The brush is a nice size and the polish isn't too runny or thick.  I usually don't have time to apply a top coat (obviously not including the matte one) but I find the finish of this to have a nice enough shine by itself.

What's your go to Summer colours?

Blog Take 2! & A Bit About Me

Welcome To My Blog

Hello there!  My name is Nicole and I have to hold my hands up...I am was a terrible blogger.  I really wanted to love my blog and post all the time but life got in the way.  This time I'm here to stay!

I am currently on mat leave with my new baby boy Ryan, so I am determined to make a good go of it this time.  I love make up and giving my opinion so this is the perfect place.

Want to know a bit more about the person behind the blog?  I am a Mum of two and live with my boyfriend in Dundee.  I have recently graduated with a BSc (Hons) Forensic Psychobiology - sounds geeky, I know!  So I am currently enjoying my time off and planning on starting the "big girl" job hunt in a few months.

I hope that I will be able to post hauls (girl loves a shopping trip, or two, or three) as well as reviews etc...

I also want to apologise a little if there are loads of posts up straight away - I have a few things stockpiled to blog about already!!

So in a nutshell that's a little glimpse of life and plans for my little corner of the world wide web.  I hope you will like what you read and join me in fuelling my beauty addiction!
