I wore this manicure on my birthday recently. We went to Brighton and stayed the night before my birthday in a nice hotel in the marina, then stayed around the following day and had a lovely lunch in English’s, a fantastic seafood restaurant.

It was a very enjoyable and much welcome mini break, made perfect by the bright and sunny weather and the beautiful view of the marina and sea from our hotel room.

On my actual birthday I thought that I should sport some sparkle on my nails (I was thirty-sixteen, by the way!), and these combinations seemed really apt for the sunny weather.

This is three coats of Sally Hansen Mousseline, which I bought for just a £1 at Poundland recently. It’s a cream or perhaps a very pale peach, that I probably wouldn’t ever wear on its own, but which I thought would be good for nail art or as a base for something else perhaps. Then I’ve layered over two coats of Barry M Rose Quartz Glitter, which has medium, rose coloured hexagon glitters and tons of tiny holographic glitter.

The holographic glitter really sparkles in the sunlight. Here’s a blurred shot taken in the sun that shows the holographic goodness!
