Crackle & Sparkle

Hiya!

Today I have a very simple design using a purple crackle from Barry M's nail effects range.

I used two coats of Outdoor Girl - Sparkling Nail Polish in Blue (though it just looks silver on the nail) as the base colour for all my nails, except my accent nails which I painted with two coats of Barry M - Vivid Purple.

Then I took Barry M - Nail Effects 137 (this is a purple crackle the same shade as Vivid Purple) and painted one coat over the Outdoor Girl. I love the colours purple and silver together and I think these colours suit this effect really well. To finish my design I layered one coat of Barry M - Silver Glitter onto my accent nails.

Let me know what you think of this design?

Triangle Nail Art!

Hello everyone! Today we have a nail art design for you that's quite easy and looks great!

This design was made using the taping technique, and if you haven't heard of it, it's when you use tape to create neat shapes and lines on your nails. This art only works if you have two completely different colours, with the top colour opaque in one coat. Here is a picture of my first try at this technique.
