Nail Varnish of the Week

Like many females, I have a bit of an addiction to nail varnish. I own hundreds and tend to go out and buy a new one every time I get a bit of money. I frequently plan my entire outfit around the latest colour of varnish I've fallen in love with. I love nail varnish as it can alter the entire tone of an outfit. If you're wearing a little black dress it can become gothic with black nails, poppy and bright with some vibrant pink nails or classy with a classic red. Following on from my 80s theme (check my last post!) this week I've been obsessed with Barry M's shade 'Silver Multi Glitter' (shade 338). It's a wonderfully sparkly silver with small glitter particles so it's not to over the top. It's also amazingly versatile as you can layer it over a colourful base and the colour will show through giving the glitter a whole new look. I'm currently wearing it with just a clear base coat underneath:

out any prints I could get my hands on

This week I started watching 'The Carrie Diaries', a prequel TV show to Sex and the City. Although the programme cannot be recommended for its script or cinematography, it has an amazing costume department. They have created a wardrobe that highlights the good elements of 80s fashion and leaves things such as rat-tails and mullets in a forgotten corner where they belong. The snazzy outfits have had me in an 80s whirl of bright colours and scrunchies all week. Think bright block colours, animal prints, excessive sequins and oversized accessories.  Here are some of my favourite looks:

I can't actually decide which of these numbers I like best!

I love the over-the-top sparkle on this dress
