Mummy Manicure

I am a mummy and these are some thoughts and pictures of my home manicures

[mummymanicure]

Autumn is here, so I thought I’d give this Sally Hansen purple Cherry Cherry Bang Bang a go. I have no other Sally Hansen polishes so I thought I’d see what they are like. I have to admit this wasn’t the easiest to apply and took 3 coats but I love the colour!

I feel like Autumn has arrived and so this weekend went in search of some polish.... I came back with a few new polishes and I think this one is my favourite. It's from the new China Glaze Autumn Nights collection and is called Strike Up A Cosmo. As you can see it is a lovely rose pink foil, this is just one coat!

We are off to Disney soon so I tried a little Minnie Mouse nail art on my daughter, I even used OPI The Colour of Minnie!

[mummymanicure]

My latest pedicure is a blue from OPI's Spider-Man collection that I have had for quite some time. This colour was not very opaque so I had to use 3 coats which I topped off with this great rimmel glitter called Disco Ball.

Here's another 2012 Minnie Mouse colour by OPI, If you Moust You Moust. This is a great mid pink with no shimmer at all, it goes on great, this is two coats. It pretty much sums up a classic summer pink colour for me.

A quick change on my toes......this is A Definite Moust Have from the minnie opi collection and I added the polka dots for a true bit of Minnie fun!

Another quick go at some nail art......I am still loving mint candy apple by Essie:-)

[mummymanicure]

This is Essie Bachelorette Bash, I love it! The formula is great, it is a bright fuchsia creme. It took 2 coats to get opaque and was pretty shiny without a top coat. I used OPI's Minnie Style as an accent glitter coat on one nail.

My darling daughter chose these beautiful colours for her manicure and pedicure! Doesn't she look great?

Just another quick manicure using this lovely essie colour, tart deco. As the weather has really warmed up I thought I'd go for this one again.

The summer has finally arrived, yay! That means its time for a new pedicure, this is the final of my new OPI polishes, Innie Minnie Mightie Bow. It is a lovely deep red, with a great formula.

This is another of my OPI Couture de Minnie polishes, Chic from Ears to Tail. I love this bubblegum pink colour but found it very streaky and quite hard to deal with. Excuse the state of my cuticles, I don't thinks that helps!

[mummymanicure]

A little haul here.....I finally managed to get hold of the new OPI Couture de Minnie collection. 

I picked up all the colours except the liquid sand and think they all look gorgeous........

[mummymanicure]

This is Solitaire one of the Bond Girls liquid sand polishes from OPI. I didn't put a top coat on it, so that the sparkle is maximised.

This is a very quickly done manicure using my mint candy apple polish. As you can see in the sun it is more green but in shade it is closer in colour to another essie polish I have - where's my chauffeur. I did have a little go at some nail art too!

[mummymanicure]

This is a mini haul of some summer Essie polishes. I went looking for the new couture de Minnie collection by opi and couldn't find it. I did however stumble across the new summer Essie colours. To be honest none of them really grabbed me, but I did come across these two lovely colours. They are bachelorette bash which is a lovely fuscia colour and mint candy apple which I have loads and loads about, I think the name is self explanatory.

This is a quick late night manicure I did using a very very old colour called portobello pink from the rimmel 60 second range. It is a cute pink colour, but as it is very old and maybe the quick dry formula made it a bit gloopy! But for a pop of colour it's fun.
