NOTD Marks and Spencer Baby Pink

Hi everyone,

Recently I have become addicted to Pinterest again and can easily spend a good hour or two on there, even after telling myself I'll just have a quick browse! One thing I particularly love looking at is nail art and different nail designs which inspired me to try something new.

I have acrylic nails and have done for years but always opted for either a square or oval look. This time I decided to have them a little more pointy, but not so pointy that I could do some damage with them! I know this may not be everyone's cup of tea but for me I really like the change and going for something different to my usual look.

Please excuse my dry hands and cuticles, they have been terrible recently!

When I was getting them done I took along this pink nail polish which I received in a set from Marks and Spencer for Christmas and asked the nail technician to paint my nails in it. I absolutely love the colour which is a really pretty pink / coral shade and I can see that I will wear it so much, especially in spring and summer. I also decided I wanted some glitter so the nail technician added this effect around the bottom of my nails. I have recreated this look myself at home and it's so easy to do. If you can use gel I have found it to be slightly easier but you can create the same look with polish. Simply dip the brush from a clear gel or polish into the glitter, dab it along the bottom of the nail and then brush it upwards to create an ombre effect ... easy!

I wish I was better at nail art myself but it's something I would like to practice in 2017. I just need to have a little more patience with it as I easily get frustrated when it doesn't look like I want it to!

Do you like using nail art to create different looks? Which are your favourite nail polishes?

Thanks for reading,
