This is one of my favourite nail ‘tricks’. It both enable me to not have to choose only one colour but it also looks way more swish and polished (pardon the pun) than it really is. I always get compliments no matter the colour combo but over Christmas this one was certainly a hit. I love the colours together anyway but they are particularly festive, aren’t they?

People have always assumed it’s more complicated than it is but I literally paint my nails in halves. It’s never as neat as it would be if I used tape etc but ugh! who has time? > spoiler, I actually did recently and have a slightly more adventurous mani to share with you soon. This chipped pretty quickly actually and the formula’s didn’t make the extra painting time worth it since it didn’t last long but it was pretty while it did and both were 2 coat opaque so that’s a plus. Worn alone on my skintone Orly Rage doesn’t really do anything for me, very blah so I feel like it needs a contrast like this but Zoya Marnie is a beautiful colour. A deep muted burgundy that is perfect for winter but neutral enough to wear year round if you’re in darker nails. I’m a pastel/bright girl at heart but I like to vamp it up from time to time and this is one of my favourites.
