I have to say I had quite big plans for this manicure, I thought about doing funky french tips or glitter gradients or stamping or pin marbling.... but I picked out 5 of my favourite pastel shades and painted my nails, then decided I loved them as they are- sometimes simple is best :)
I used 5 lovely pastel shades, which all happen to be Models Own and No7, and then topped each nail with a matte top coat (also No7) I love the effect, it's so cute and spring-like; my sister and I went shopping yesterday and I'm sure I saw clothes in all of these colours in shops; clearly I'm very on-trend!
I really am a fan of matte nails, and I think they work especially well with pastel shades- it reminds me of chalk!

love love love the matte over these, looks great. I love MO polish but never tried their pro colours x
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love pastel colours mattified :) I got this (and 5 others) free when MO had a facebook giveaway, they're not much different to the regular MO polishes (though they smell ncier) I'm not convinced they're worth £8 but some of the colours in the line are pretty nice.

These colours are great, I love pastels now that the weather is improving :) I love the added matte coat :)
