Nails: World Mental Health Day 2014 - Schizophrenia Awareness

Today is World Mental Health Day, and this year the focus is on Schizophrenia. From what I gather last year the idea was you wear purple for awareness, and the awareness ribbon colour is grey.

Nails: Top 5 Autumn / Fall Polishes 2014

I did a post like this one last year, you can see it here if you are interested. Now that it is officially Autumn I thought I would share my top five polishes for this season.

Barry M - Crush // Leighton Denny - Be Unique // ELF - Fire Coral // Barry M - Indigo // Miss Sporty - Rain Drop 470

First I have Barry M's Matte Crush, which is a deep burgundy matte shade which also looks great with a shiny topcoat over the top.

Then Leighton Denny's Be Unique which is a browny / rusty shimmer colour, you do need three coats to achieve opacity but it would also work layered over a red or an orange base.

ELF's Fire Coral, is a mid-orange cream polish which is perfect for Halloween nails and of course orange is a prominent colour in nature throughout autumn.

The deep purple is Barry M's Indigo, and is the perfect Cadbury purple. Very difficult to colour accurately photograph. The bottle shot and the photo of the skittle nails above aren't accurate, the photo below is much more true to life. It is a deep colour but not one which looks black and is easier to wear. I need to get a new bottle of this as I seem to be at the very end of this bottle.

Lastly I chose Miss Sporty's Rain Drop which is a dark green, something a little different from a pure black polish. Lovely and creamy and deep and the brush is quite flat and wide.

Nails: Lela Rose AW 2014 Inspired

I find inspiration everywhere for nails and so finding it in fashion isn't something new. The particular inspiration I used was a dress from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2014, and a Lela Rose dress.

Sunday Stamping: Colour Combination

This is a new colour combination to me, the base that is. I used the 'Splodging' method to create the base and then went on to stamp over the top of it. Not impressed by the smudging created by the holographic top coat though.
