26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Work Appropriate Nail Art

Hello! I'm back with the newest 26 Great Nail Art Ideas prompt. If you missed the last one, 'Pastel to Bold Gradient with Something on Top', you can find my mani here. This time the theme is 'Work Appropriate Nail Art'. When I think 'work appropriate', my mind goes to neutrals - especially nudes and soft pinks. I'm not a massive nude fan so went for a baby pink base with some stamping. Read on for more info!

Hello! Today I have a bit of a different post for you. I recently attended a blogger event hosted by iZ Beauty of London and CALGEL. It was the first PR event that I have been invited to, and it was an amazing experience. I managed to get a couple of quick pictures of iZ Beauty's spring and summer collections, which I thought I'd share. All guests were also given a box of goodies which I've since had a play with.
