Manicure Monday: Pink Bling

I am afraid time has gotten the better of me these past few weeks.

Today's manicure is fairly simple. It does have sparkles - my NYC Pink Bling nail polish courtesy of Christina (Snail Mail Collective) all the way from Texas.
If you know me, you know I am always game for sparkles/glitter/shiny things!

Pink Bling

Using my Ralo Cosmetics Matt Pink polish, I added a little bit of the Pink Bling from the cuticles, half way down the nail for a subtle sparkle.

Simple. But Effective. 

Manicure Monday: Summer sorbet colours

I'm not sure if this counts as a manicure, but it looks pretty, it's a nail polish & it's on my nails - so yes, I think it counts!

The generous Ralo Cosmetics sponsored us an entire range of nail polish colours at the #JhbBloggerMeetup.

These colours are perfect for Summer and are in deliciously pastel shades reminiscent of sorbet on the beach.

All the Colours

Ralo Range

The polish has a thin watery consistency, so I had to apply 3 coats to get an opaque colour.
I was a bit put out by this; until I was researching their online shop for the names of the shades (Why only print a number underneath?) and realised how affordable they were! A bottle retails for about R27.50 - bargain!

The matte coral and matte pink are very pretty, but need a Matte topcoat to get the effect. Either way - I think you will be seeing these colours in future posts a lot!

Ralo's sparkle & shimmer shades look very pretty as well. Check out their online store for all the ranges and colours they have to offer and follow Ralo Cosmetics on twitter @RaloCosmetics
