NOTD - Sally Hansen 'Arm Candy' and OPI 'Which Witch?'

So, as i said in my recent post on Nicole by OPI's 'Do Good...Feel Good', here in the UK at the moment, we're kind of getting all four seasons in one day most of the time. I wanted to create a  manicure that could go with whatever I wanted to wear and not look silly with whatever the weather was doing.

I decided that a light milky pink was probably the way to go for a nice, neutral nail look, but I wanted to make it a little more interesting by adding some kind of glitter. Looking through my stash, I came across 'Which Witch?' from the recent OPI Oz The Great and Powerful collection. This is the only glitter of the 3 within the collection that I actually liked, small silver glitter with some bigger round pieces of holo glitter, perhaps not too unique but very pretty all the same.

 So theres my manicure, I quite like the way that it turned out, perhaps more girly and sweet than i'd usually go for, but I think that it can be nice to change things up every now and again. It was certainly more interesting than just wearing just another neutral nail shade on its own.

I actually got quite a few compliments of my nails on the day when I wore this, which very rarely happens, I suppose everybody loves a jazzed up neutral look.

Nail of the day - Dior 'Calypso'

Today I felt like sporting a bright red creme, this one is probably a little summery for the weather we're having but it caught my eye when I was looking through my stash and I just really wanted to use it once more before I properly retired it for autumn and winter.

'Dior' Calypso is a very bright, ever so slightly orange based red creme polish. And I think it's gorgeous, application was lovely, almost a 1 coater. This was one of my summer go to polishes, it almost eclipsed my favourite red; OPI 'Red My Fortune Cookie'.

Now that I've got this polish out of my system for a little while I am fully ready to embrace all that autumn has to offer nail polish-wise, I already have been but I'm ready to put away all of my brighter colours and focus on rich, vampy colours on my nails for when I go jumping in piles of crispy, autumn leaves.

Hope you all had a great Sunday :)
