"An affair ...

.... in Red Square" is one of my favourite ever nail colours from OPI. I have an unhealthy obsession with  it- one thing I dont mind admitting to at all. The bold red is a statement on its own and I feel like a powerhouse whenever I wear it.  Does to me what retail therapy or a Starbucks to others. The beauty of it is I don't need to work hard on what I wear after, it won't matter. I usually pair with MAC Red or Ruby/RiRi Woo. Talk about feeling good from within.....
            Like all beauty trends, nail polish trends change. For me, one easy way to instantly glam up an outfit is a set of perfectly groomed nails in a show stopping nail polish. I do not mind the more statement, bright shades that shout right at you. Here are a few of my faves.






Steamy by MAC
This comes up a bit pricey at £11, but I'm sure you can agree looking like that, one can't put a tag on it..  Pink is an an all year round beauty and fashion trend and one of the easiest ways to dip into the look is via - you guessed it- Pink nail vanish. I wore it to a wedding with a bright yellow dress and thats all I had to do to complete my look. And I've worn it a couple of other times-dare I say I almost always come out with a compliment.




Mint Green by BarryM 
I adore BarryM. Whether you're a metallic, glitter or glossy kind of chick, BarryM has it.  The collection is an easy way to update your everyday look, or try your hand on a chic take on the nail art trend. Theres something seriously satisfying about buying nail polish or adding to a collection and one such for me is BarryM. They  come in at £2.99 but if like me you're always drawn to the BarryM counter, you're in with a chance of getting them as cheap as £1.99. I'm always buying them for no reason whatsoever. Well, for just because they are so delicious and I love them all and can't decide on one colour. (Covers face and hides)

2. Steam - £11 by MAC 
                                                                3. Mint Green np304 - £2.99 by BarryM

Whatever the occasion or time of year, perfectly groomed nails never go out of style. Inasmuch as the trends change seasonally, there's no one shade suits all. However you want to experiment- take your pick from the affordable BarryM shades, that must have OPI vanish to the seriously luxe Chanel, Tom ford hues etc. Happy painting....
