Gold Leaf Top Coat Over Black Nail Polish - Party Nails!

I absolutely adore today's Nails Of The Day. I applied L'Oreal's Gold Leaf Top Coat over *Wild About Beauty's Michael Black Nail Polish. 

I needed two coats of the Nail Polish to achieve opacity or you could get away with applying one thick coat but I prefer two thinner coats.

Another fabulous Christmas party look don't you think?

Three Sparkly & Glitzy Glitter Top Coats For Party Season

The fastest way to bling up your nails for a party is by adding a sparkly top coat.

I have three fabulous glitter top coats in my collection that I absolutely adore.

First up is Nails Inc Nail Jewellery in Diamond - Burlington Arcade. This is a silver based glitter polish and features glitter and flecks of silver that glisten like diamonds

Another Nails Inc beauty is the Snowflake Top Coat in Whitechapel. 

This is a stunning top coat that features silver glitter, strips and white hexagons that resemble frosty snowflakes and is just perfect for the winter season. It looks good over light and dark polishes.

And finally The Lacquer Lab has come up trumps with its Pocket full Of Jewels - this classy top coat contains gold glitter dust and opalescent flakes for an altogether grown up and elegant glitter top coat.

So whether you opt for a statement nail or fancy adorning every nail with glitter...Bling it on!

All that is missing from my collection now is a gold flake top coat that would look amazing over a black nail polish. I have spotted one from L'Oreal that is just £4.99.. watch this space!

Nail Inc Snowflake Whitechapel Polish over Wild About Beauty Michael - NOTD

Nails Inc Snowflake Whitechapel top coat looks pretty over a nude polish but as I suspected looks stunning over a dark shade. I applied a black polish - Michael from Wild About Beauty - under this fab top coat. It really makes it stand it and the gold glitter really glistens and shimmers when the light hits it. I still want to try it over a midnight blue shade so watch this space!

Nail Inc Whitechapel Snowflake Polish

Nails Inc Whitechapel Snowflake Polish is my Nails Of The Day today, it is a gorgeous and sparkly mix of gold glitter and white flakes to mimic the effect of falling snow. It looks super pretty under lights, just like glistening snow.

I popped it over two coats of the nude polish Colville Mews for this cool and snowy effect. However, I am thinking it will look incredible over a dark blue/navy polish too, so this is what I will be doing next with it. Party season is already looking up!

Nails Inc Whitechapel Snowflake Polish is £16 from Debenhams

Pink & Gold Nails - Nails Of The Day

The quickest way to jazz up your nails is with the addition of some gold in some shape or form, I chose a plain polish, I absolutely adore this one - Sandstorm from LOLA. If you only buy one gold polish  make it this. A must have in my opinion.

I added it as an accent on my ring fingers with the beautiful tea rose shade from Yves Rocher that came in this month's glossybox.

New - Starbucks Bottled Cookies & Cream Frappuccino

This week to celebrate the launch of Starbucks latest Bottled Chilled Drink - Cookies & Cream Frappuccino I popped down to the Nailberry Salon in South Kensington for a specially created Cookies & Cream Facial and Manicure from the KatyandTaty team ...

The Facial was relaxing and superb, with ingredients like oatmeal, pure cocoa powder, almond oil and fresh cream, it smelt so good I wanted to eat my own face. The facial left my skin feeling super soft and so incredibly clean and glowy.. I even did the school run with no makeup which I never do!

The Manicure featured a sugar and vanilla hand scrub with almond oil and Vitamin E followed by Nailberry's Iced Mocha polish and a bit of nail art with flecks of silver and black to represent the cookies and cream of the new drink.. Pretty!

As for the new drink.. well I am already a fan of the Starbucks Bottled Vanilla Frappuccino that features 100% Arabica espresso roast coffee that you find instore and this is now another firm fave! It is a delicious sweet, coffee drink with the taste of cookies and cream that is the perfect weekly treat.

Starbucks Bottled Cookies & Cream Frappuccino is in shops costing £1.79
