TopFour: Feeling Blue

26 May

Inspired by the recent posts of Katie at FashionClocked, I have been on a quest for sky blue nails. It is such an uplifting shade and really a fresh and much overdue change from the gothic, dark nails that seem to have been the go-to shade for years. Scouring the internet for blue shades, I have found that there are a lot of ‘bad blues’ – overly vivid, shimmery and reminiscent of a child’s makeup play set. Instead, I recommend going for a slightly muted, matte shade that keeps it subtle and modern.

4. No Room for the Blues, O.P.I.

    Really cute blog, absolutely love the layout. Also this is totally random but I saw you posted 4 denim shirts in a previous post and one of them is a gorgeous topshop one…now I saw you said you are a poor student (as am I) so I thought you might like to hear that primark has one which is almost identical to the topshop one for £10.

    LOVE blue but it makes me look like a corpse when I use it for polish. Summery though!
