Nails for the summer - The French Manicure

LOOK 1: THE CLASSIC

I will never get sick of the classic French manicure, so this is always a safe option for me when i'm faced with the strenuous decision of what to have done at a nail bar. I recently had a gel French manicure done for the first time at a local nail bar before a trip to Spain (pictured below), which lasted for at least 2 and a half weeks - perfect for a holiday! I loved how clean my nails looked, and also got lots of compliments! To go for this classy look i'd definitely recommend growing your nails for a little while before for the best outcome!


LOOK 2: FLUORESCENT 

For a particularly summery look I experimented with fluorescent nail polishes from Jessica (pictured below) - I used the orange for the tips and pink for the base. As you can see it resulted in a very vibrant, fresh look - perfect for festivals!







Hello!

A quick introduction: my name is Lydia, I am 19 and living in England. I have always had a passion for all things beauty, fashion and make up, so thought it was about time that I started blogging about it! My first few posts may be a little slow as I am mid-way through exams (this is a great form of procrastination), however some make up reviews should be coming up soon!
