Sea green and sparkles

My nails of the week feature a sea-inspired sparkly mani! After seeing so many deep blue sea hues around fashion land this week, I thought I'd give it a try on my nails (as I'm not really into wearing ocean colours). It's not quite reminiscent of what Ariel would wear if you could even paint your nails under water, but it'll do me just fine!
Just discovered the OPI Germany collection so stay tuned for pics of that soon!

Get your nails did!



I love playing around with nail art and have been since I can remember. I used to cut out my own stickers to make stripy patterns but now that nail art has become a big thing, you can buy supplies anywhere!
For nail art I’m a big fan of Essence because it’s cheap and it works. My go-to brands for nail varnish are Chanel (obv), OPI (imported from the USA for a fraction of the price), Catrice (a bargain at €2,50 and updated colours monthly) and Koh (so expensive it comes in a case).
A a self-confessed shopaholic I’m often left with a bit of month at the end of my money so nail varnish (which ranges from €1 to €25) can always provide a quick fix :)
These nails were all done freehand, and I’ll be sure to make a DIY in the near future!
