NOTD Pink colourwash..
Today I've tried something new with my nails, it's a light sparkly pink gradually building up to a bright, hot pink shade.
For this look I first used 'Sally Hansen Double Duty Base Coat' before applying two coats of OPI's 'Princesses Rule!'. When this was dry I applied a thin coat of 'Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat' to smooth the top of the nail, this is a completely optional step and is by no means necessary. When the polish is fully dry I then applied a thin coat of OPI 'Pink Flamenco' about halfway up the nail and began gently patting it with a makeup sponge to give a more faded effect, I repeated this process multiple times, covering less of the nail with each coat. The end result was a light pink base fading into a shocking pink tip.
Hope you like this look, it can be adapted with so many different nail polishes and colours. I find the Andrea Fullerton layering polishes work exceptionally well with this look.
Until next time...

Me, Myself and I.. An Introduction :)
Hey guys!
Just thought I'd do a little post about myself so you can find out who I am, where I'm from and what makes me tick!
I am a 20 year old girl, from West Yorkshire (UK for anybody that isn't familiar..). I am absolutely in love with all things beauty related and after spending a good 2 years reading other beauty and lifestyle blogs I had a sudden thought, "Hey, why not turn this passion into something useful and create your own blog?!" and so 'MakemeUpMeg' was born :)
On this blog you're going to find reviews, swatches and general chit chatty posts.
If you so wish I do have a twitter account: @makemeupmeg
Any questions feel free to @ me on there or I do have an email : makemeupmeg@gmail.com
Hope you enjoy browsing!
