Today I thought I would show you a quick & simple idea for a nail look I feel would be perfect for New Year's Eve.
Now I am the kind of girl who on the occasions when I make the effort to paint my nails, I make a couple of attempts to get my nails to the point where I just think, yep that's okay, it'll do.
I wait for a bit & then end up accidentally touching my nails on something... It is then that I realise they were not completely dry & after ruining a couple of nails, I usually end up taking all the nail varnish off & wearing my nails au naturale.
Therefore a quick & easy nail look such as this, is right up my street.

I would describe this nail look as glittery yet somewhat understated at the same time.
Intrigued?
The nail varnish I am referring to is this beautiful shade of Moonlight from the Barry M Christmas 2014 Limited Edition Collection which I found for £3.99 in Boots.
I mentioned this nail varnish in my Christmas Gift Ideas post, I thought it looked so lovely I just had make a cheeky little purchase for myself.
For Christmas Day I was originally planning on wearing a deep red nail varnish, Rapid Ruby from the Rimmel London 60 Seconds Collection, painting Moonlight over the top of my ring fingers as an accent nail on each hand.
Suddenly it seemed to be Christmas and I realised I wouldn't have much time to apply nail varnish so I picked up Moonlight and spontaneously decided to apply the glitter varnish alone to all my nails.
No base colour & with one coat of this, being extremely careful not to touch anything properly for what felt like ages to be sure they were 100% dry & I was good to go!
The beauty of this look is the different shapes and specks of glitter within the nail varnish. It is made up of mostly silver but also some red specks. Each nail will be different which keeps things interesting.
Shimmering beautifully when your nails catch the light, this look is simple but effective & pretty.
Not only that but it lasts such a long time! As this nail varnish doesn't give the nails a solid colour it won't be obvious if they start to chip, so you can wear your nails like this for even longer. Although beware that glitter nail varnish can be quite difficult to remove.

A perfect look for New Year's Eve taking you glittering into the New Year.
What do you think of this look?
How will you be spending New Year's Eve?
I hope you have an amazing start to 2015.
