Hello lovelies,

Today is the Day 4 of the Nail Art Fashion Week and we take inspiration from fashion trends. There have been lots of plaids and patterned pieces among the Fashion Week collections but I came across a dress that perfectly demonstrated a single awesome trend - the colour-blocking! I knew instantly that I want to recreate it on my nails.

The dress I chose is from Hiromichi Nakano and it was inspired by the 60's, the era of Twiggy :) Hiromichi Nakano introduced this collection at the Tokyo Fashion Week. You can read more about it here.

So that's my nails and the inspiration. They remind me of candies for some reason and I like how bright they looked on me.

This was a very simple design to do. I've started to paint sections with two coat of each colour - Models Own Banana Split, Models Own Paradise Pink and Zoya Lillian. I've used either the nail polish brush or smaller nail art brush. Then I've painted the black lines with Color Club Black striper polish (use STASH15 for 15% discount). Finally, I've sealed the design with Seche Vite topcoat and later added a coat of OPI Matte Top Coat.

Here's how the manicure looks glossy ;)

Which is it this time? Matte or glossy? I still prefer the matte version, it's so much more unique. Here you can check my previous NAFW manicures:

Barry M keeps adding seasonal shades to their nail polish line and in February they've added these four new pastel shades to their Speedy Quick Dry line. This whole line has flat wide brushes with rounded ends to allow fast 3-stroke application and a signature chequered cap. The new colours are: In A Flash, Personal Best, Winning Streak and Freestyle.

All the polishes have little bit thicker formula so the application was challenging. They dry really fast so I had to work little bit faster than I usually do otherwise I was experiencing some bald spots. The finish is smooth and glossy but topcoat is a must as it evens out any uneven application.

I'm wearing them in photos in the following order:

Index: Winning Streak - 2 coats

Middle: In A Flash - 3 coats

Ring: Freestyle - 2 coats

Pinkie: Personal Best - 2 coats

These new additions to the Speedy Quick Dry line are pretty and feminine and fitting the Spring season. I wore this look for about three days and haven't experienced any chipping so on me they lasted nicely.
 

Have you bought any of these yet? Do you like them?

Have a lovely day! Lucie x

PS: In case you're wondering, the rings are from H&M :)
