Pastel stripe nails

I haven't done a nail art post in a while and I took some inspiration from some pretty beach huts I saw the other day which looked so nice in the summer sunshine. I think this nail design is really easy to do and looks so cute for the summer too.

For this look, you will need: 

Some pastel nail polishes

A white nail striper. If you don't have one of these you can use a white nail polish and dip a toothpick in and drag the polish along the nail in a line. 

I used these colours as a base. 

These are the polishes from left to right:

Barry M- 318 Peach Melba

Rimmel London-406 Cute as a Kitten Heel

Rimmel London- 874 Breakfast in Bed

Barry M- 304 Mint Green

Barry M- 305 Pink Flamingo

Rimmel London- 622 Oh Boy You're So Fine!!

Sinful Colours- 1033 Pistache 

Rimmel London- 504 It's a Scorcher

Barry M- GNP 10 Lychee

I used the Model's Own nail art pen in white to do the striping. This cost me £6 from Boots. 

From this pen I used the striper attachment to draw the stripes. 

To draw the stripes, I started with one line in the middle. 

I then drew a line either side. 

This look is so easy to do and looks so cute too!

Mint fresh

Pastel shades are everywhere at the moment and as you may have seen in Springtime nail polishes post last Sunday, I have a few favorite pastel shades!

This week I've decided to colour my nails with the Barry M shade in 304 Mint Green. 

I painted my nails with two coats of polish. 

The rings I'm wearing here are primarily from River Island for about £2-3. The ring on my index finger I got from a stall at Spitalfields Market in London a few years ago. 

I also matched my nails to the earrings I was wearing.

I think these look so lovely and they were £6 from River Island.

My favourite spring time nail polishes

At the moment I am really loving this pastel colours trend and I have picked out seven of my favourite pastel polishes I am using a lot this Spring. 

I used two coats of each colour. 

From left to right on each photo the colours are: 

Nails Inc- Warwick Avenue 

BarryM- 318 Peach Melba 

BarryM- 306 Blueberry Ice

Collection- 33 Button Moon

Rimmel London- 420 Aqua Cool

BarryM- 304 Mint Green

Sinful Colors- 1033 Pistache

I'd have to say out of them all I am most impressed with the Sinful Colors shades as they are cheap at £1.99 (bargain) they come out really nicely and with this shade  especially it has little glittery bits in it too. A downside of these are they seem to take forever to dry!
