In The Nude

Confessions of a Polishaholic (http://themugoftea.tumblr.com/)

I love doing my nails. If I'm having a bad hair day, can't decide what to wear or am running late and miss the bus, a fresh lick of paint always puts a smile back on my face. I can never resist the opportunity to add another colour to my rainbow so even though I already own dozens of nail polishes, I'm constantly on the look out for a shade something new.

Baring All - My Top Five

My current obsession is for neutral, cream and pearl shades so I decided it was the perfect time to share this need for nude in my first "Ready For A Mani-Pedi" post.

Steal Their Style - Eva and Kim

Neutral nails - favoured by gorgeous celebrities Kim Kardashian and Eva Mendes - are subtle, stylish and elegant. They won't clash with everyday work or casual outfits and with a little gold glitter can be glammed up for a night out.
