Perfect Manicure

One of my all time favourite hobbies is painting my nails. Recently however I have neglected my "nail care" routine due to one of the other loves in my life - netball. Sports and painted nails don't really go together! But since I had a couple of days before our next match I thought I would treat myself to a little nail pampering session.

Before painting my nails I make sure to buff the nail (definitely don't overdo this part since it can leave your nails a little thin and damaged)
Then I use my absolute nail saving product - Renovate by Leighton Denny. Containing diamond particles it helps buff the nail whilst moisutrising and leaving them with a healthy sheen. I literally could not live without this!
Next I used my favourite polish at the moment, Barry M Nail Gelly paint in Lychee. I love the formula of the Barry M Gellys as they leave such a smooth coating on your nails making them so quick and easy to use. I used two coats here and have been left with a pretty flawless result! I love a simple nude nail sometimes and I think this colour is perfect, especially for this time of year!
Finally no manicure is complete for me without the Miracle Drops by Leighton Denny. Simply place one drop on each nail starting from the cuticle, tipping downwards and your nails dry in no time at all! A godsend if you have to paint quickly before a party!

Excuse the red fingers, it's quite cold in my house today!

Painting my nails is my little treat for myself this weekend, and makes me feel special, which is why I chose this picture from weheartit.com to compliment today's post. But whats yours? Let me know in the comments if you have anything exciting planned!
