2014 Blogger Challenge #5 | Nails

What's the 2014 Blogger Challenge?

It was started by Gaby from AnotherGirlyBlog. Two posts will go up each month (towards the beginning and middle), each with a different topic.

This week's topic: Nails

This is one of my favourite nail colours at the moment. I used Natio's Ruby which is a vibrant red. What I love most about it is the formula. It's not streaky, dries relatively quickly and is opaque in two thin coats.

I applied two coats without a top coat, and it didn't chip until about the fourth day.

What's your favourite nail polish colour of the moment?

Patterns & colours

We all know that colours can affect your mood, but what about patterns? There's nothing like quirky colours and patterns to lift your spirits! These pictures from weheartit.com have definitely inspired me to get creative.

I have much respect for people who possess the skills to create such intricate of details! Picture this with a white/beige/pale pink dress... Spring is such a long way away.

Love the arrangement of the flowers and plants. The colours are so calming yet the image as a whole makes me want to jump around!

The patterns spice up this brown backpack. Each section has different patterns, from stripes to zig-zag, but is balanced out by the brown. No need to sacrifice comfort for style when you have this.

I can picture this image as part of a scarf. The sharp lines and corners add some flare to a pink scarf.

Are you a sucker for patterns and colours?

Love, V
