Nails of a Prom Queen

If the title didn't tell you then let me say... I WON PROM QUEEN!!

So unexpected! I just sat there thinking 'What do I do? Was that really my name or am I hearing things?' But yes it was me.

Prom was such a great night, even without that and as I was told many times, I had nails fit for a queen!


I applied a Rimmel base and two coats of Avon's Deluxe. This polish is fantastic, application is great and the colour is one of my favourites in the world. I then used my new striping tape for the first time properly. Its really easy to use and super cheap. I got 10 rolls  of all different colours for 99p free postage on eBay! I then applied OPI top coat.

I loved these nails and got lots of compliments at prom. I was even told by multiple people that they had been looking forward to seeing what I was going to do with them for prom!

They also matched my dress perfectly, here it is :)

Eenie Meenie Prom Nails

So it is my school prom this Friday and I have no idea what to do with my nails for it. I don't want to have plain, one-colour nails, cause I've always been known as 'the girl with the fancy nails' but at the same time I can't think of what would suit my dress and the occasion...

So I came up with five ideas. I have a definite favourite but I'll show you guys and if you have one you think is best, or any other ideas please let me know!

This is my dress


It is a Jonathan Saunders dress with a bright pink lining and black chiffon over the top, creating a dark wine colour (my favourite). My heels, bag and shrug are all black so I need something that will go with the whole outfit.

This is a shot of some of the options



First option


A bright pink bottom (nameless polish) with a black top (Primark, nameless) and separated by some silver striping tape.

Second option


A nude (Revlon, nameless mini) and purple (Nails Inc, Victoria) gradient with silver glitter (Essence, Blair)

Third option


Excuse the bubbles, I was getting impatient     A purple (Avon, Deluxe) bottom with a black (Primark, nameless) top, separated by silver striping tape.

Fourth option


Revlon Facets Of Fuchsia (Scandalous).

Fifth (and final) option


Nails Inc Victoria with a black (Primark, nameless) tip.

Like I said, please let me know what you think and if you have any ideas let me know!
