Colours of The Rainbow Tag - Nail Polish Edition

Hppy June everybody!! Here's where summer finally kicks off......hopefully!!

I've seen The Rainbow Tag bobbing around You Tube for a while now and thought it'd be interesting to do a version mentioning my favourite polish in each category.



This is going to be quite picture heavy so sit back, relax, and wait for that page to load.....

Tuesday

In with the new....

So i started a new job yesterday and, much like Saturdays post, it seemed only fit to do a manicure for the occasion.

As i mentioned i haven't left the company but its certainly time for a colour change....



Enter the era of pink (or as my work would call it 'Magenta')

The main colour is Barry M Shocking Pink and the accent nail is W7 cerise Pink




I've found the whole change exciting and terrifying all at once.

And i didn't help when my alarm didn't go off on my first day, I woke up 10 minutes before my shift start on the other side of town. It was horrific. Then my new boss decided, after an hour, that he was taking the rest of the day off and left me in charge......

I'd been at my old work for a very long time so I'm very much a fish out of water at the moment. I'm hoping it'll get easier soon, but there is some big changes still to come....

So I've gone from Orange to Pink I wonder what next week will hold ;-)

Out with the old...


Today was my last day at my current work and i marked the occasion in the best way i know how.....

With a manicure :-)

This is Models Own Beach party, with a ring finger accent of Barry M Tangerine.

Really one Orange polish would have done but this combo was a bit more interesting and throughout the day i had a lot of lovely comments on it from both colleagues and customers.

The Models own polish itself is essentially Neon Orange, very vibrant and uplifting.



The Barry M one is darker with a bit of a shimmer. It reminds me of boiled sweets.

At the end of the day, it'll be sad to take this one off.
But soon a new manicure will be in order.....

Although I've changed where I'm working I've not left the company so over the next few weeks it may get a bit obvious where i work (depending on your level of brand knowledge) especially as there will be another huge change at the end of the month....

I'm not supposed to talk about where i work online but i can show you pretty polishes :-)

Jubilee Party!

Hello!

As i mentioned in my last post we've been celebrating the diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth.
Now i am of the Scottish variety of British and we're not quite as well renowned for jumping up and down and camping out all night for the chance of a glimpse of a corgi. But we do love a good party especially when it comes with an extra wee day off :-)

So my effort to join in included lots of tea and cake and a wee glass (or 3!) of Gin and Tonic as i watched the Jubilee Concert, which was lovely. The Set by Madness with the light show on the Palace was EPIC, go google immediately!

Obviously my nails had to join the fun:




Now i did contemplate doing a traditional Union Flag affair but after a couple of tipples it seemed a bit daunting so i went for a more contemporary approach.

These are the colours i used:

(L-R China Glaze-Ruby Pumps, Angelica-Magnetic, Barry M-Navy)


I personally think of the queen as some distant kind of distant old friend of the family that only pops up at Christmas and maybe the odd wedding or funeral. If the fact that she's been plodding along doing a job she didn't exactly sign up for for 60 years doesn't entitle her to a bunch of flowers and box of choccies i don't know what does.

Cheers for the day off Liz!!
