Hi Color Me So Crazy readers.

I’m MO from Pretty Quirky and Brigitte has kindly let me lose on her blog today to share some nail art with you all.
After being seduced by the most glorious swatches of Models Own Polish for Tans and helped along by a 6 for £30 promo they were running I found the collection arriving on my doorstep. Honestly, I didn’t rugby tackle the postman as he walked up the drive.

This collection contains 5 gorgeous neon-ish bold colours and my biggest dilemma when they arrived was “Which first?”. I chose to use Flip Flop, Sun Hat and Beach Hat to create a colour block mani that I can’t draw my eyes away from.

Sticking with the Models Own theme I used a base of White Light HyperGel and then used striping tape, a combination of the colours and a dotting tool. My inspiration for this mani came from The Sequined Nail’s Geometric Mix and Match design. My biggest tip – think about the tape you need beforehand. I’ve added a colour-blocking tutorial so you can recreate this look yourself.
When I was painting this I kept thinking “Too loud” but as soon as it was done and topped off with some Rica Glossy Glam I fell in love with it. It even stayed on my nails for work which is unheard of! This reminds me of the House of Holland nail designs - fun and in-your-face.
There’s something special about the bold and bright, devil-may-care nail art colours and designs of summer that I love. Anything goes. As the sun has come out what have you been wearing on your nails? Have you been trying something a little bigger and louder than usual?
I’d like to say a massive thank you for Brigitte for allowing me to waffle on her blog today. It’s been so nice to share some of my ramblings with you.
Hugs
MO xxx

I Went Naked...With My Nails!

**Press Samples** Yup, I did it. I cut down all of my nails and started over a couple of months ago. I wanted to get some ridges filled and stop some cracking I had with this lovely winter weather. Zoya has a fantastic little line called NAKED MANICURE.  It consists of a base coat, perfector in a couple different shades and then a top coat. The perfector users diffusers, keratin, and reflective color pigments to create an illusion all while ensuring healing of your natural nail to help conceal imperfections.  I've been using this set for about 2 months now and I have been able to grow my nails back out all while keeping them strong and healthy. I will continue to use this system in between manicures just to help continue that strengthening process and for a little refresher.

Zoya Pinks! Comparison Post

**Press Samples** I guess I have been in the testing mood. This time, pinks. Not just any old pinks, but Zoya pinks! With the release of Wanderlust, I got thinking about all the different pinks Zoya had and could they really all be different? I grabbed all the similar looking pinks and went to swatch town. I used 8 different pinks from my vast Zoya collection. I even snuck in a matte!  As  you can see, while some of them are seriously similar. I think Byrdie and Nana are most similar. I loooove all of these pinks and this little comparison experiment, made me literally want to wear one each week! Maybe a little girly pick me up?!?! What do you think of these pinks? Do you have a favorite? Is there any other Zoya pinks you would add to this?
