Imagination In Colour UK Nail Polish Blog

Hello lovely ladies 🙂 I’ve got another Nella Milano polish to show you today! If you remember last week I showed you Nella Milano Violet, today I have a lovely yellow for you.  Nella Milano by MoYou Nails is a new brand of nail polish made in Italy. I know yellow isn’t strictly a winter colour but personally I can get tired of the same old dark nails all winter long. Besides, soon it will be the new year, time to pick up pastels and brights ready for spring! 🙂

Yellow is always hard to get right in a polish. For a start there’s the streaky factor – I think I’ve used two yellows ever that haven’t been streaky – and then there’s the skin-clashing factor. It’s hard to find the perfect tone of yellow for your own skin tone, but I think this one just *might*! be one that suits anyone! **please bear in mind that with colours like this my camera always picks up red tones when they aren’t particularly prominent, even for me the lobster-ness is profuse in these pics!**

I honestly really like this tone of yellow on my nails. In the bottle I wasn’t keen but I feel like it’s the first yellow I could happily wear without gloves to hide my clashing skin from the world! It makes me think of omelettes, the yolk in fried eggs sunny-side-down, scrambled eggs, etc. 🙂 I was pleasantly surprised by how it looked on my nails.

Application:

To be totally frank, this polish will not give you adequate coverage at one coat, as claimed on the bottle. In fact the photos show 3 coats – at two coats the polish is a little streaky, so I added a third to even everything out. I personally don’t mind needing 2-3 coats, although I know some people do. It does dry quickly, and to a very shiny finish, so you won’t need topcoat unless you want it to last a while 🙂

I’m really pleased with this, I feel like I’ll probably wear it a lot come springtime!

You can buy Nella Milano Sunny Yellow from the MoYou Nails website, where its RRP is £7.99 but at the time of writing it is on sale at £5.49, or you can buy three for £13.50!

What do you think of yellows? I know they aren’t for everyone but I’m slowly becoming a fan (partly because Vod on Fresh Meat wears it a lot!)

Hey everyone 🙂 how are you enjoying Blogmas? I’m definitely enjoying it more than I thought I would – forgot how good it feels to be blogging regularly! 😀

Illamasqua recently released quite an exciting limited edition collection: two nail polishes and two lipglosses, created by bloggers! The collection is called ‘#Creators‘. It was launched to celebrate 5 years of Illamasqua – Happy Birthday! 🙂

I was excited to see a very unique polish called ‘Perseid’, which means ‘an explosion of meteor showers’, created by StyleSuzi. I snapped it up as soon as I saw the bottle shot – in the bottle, it’s gorgeous…

Hello lovelies! Another 3 for 2 victim today – those deals ALWAYS get me! Let me know in the comments what tempts you in the sales 🙂 I mostly get drawn by new products or whatever is in the featured section of the stand I’m at. In this instance, along with Seventeen Diamond in the Rough, it was this Deconstructed Suede Effect. Suede is essentially a fancy way of saying ‘matte shimmer’, as seen a few years ago with OPI’s Suede Effect. However it’s been a while since a matte shimmer has been released and the grungy colour of this polish really drew me in. My favourite thing about ‘suede effect’ polishes is that they can be worn two ways – they look amazing with and without topcoat but almost like totally different polishes.

So at Christmas more than any other time of year, all the nail brands start retweeting and sharing all our festive manicures and nail art. Yes I have been sucked onto the bandwagon, mainly because I love Christmas, I’ve regretted not doing it previous years, it’s cute, and I haven’t done nail art in ages!

Growing up my favourite animal was a penguin (they are still in the top running) and I always had a trademark simple penguin drawing I would put everywhere. I love them, I think they are super cute little animals 🙂 (birds?). And snowmen… what better to get you in the festive mood!

This is a super easy design to create, it definitely looks better in person than in these photos but I’ll explain to you how to create the designs step-by-step.

Hello lovelies, I have a new brand to show you today! Nella Milano by MoYou Nails is a new brand of nail polish made in Italy. Their claim is one coat colour- exciting, but that always depends on the polish, the nails, the application, etc, so we’ll see! 🙂 I was pleased to see a fairly good range of creme polishes, and Violet in particular caught my eye.
