Purple Water-Spotted Nail Art!

Hi guys! 

Today I have the waterspotted technique to show you. It's a technique that I've really wanted to try for a while and I used this tutorial for it. I didn't have any spray hand sanitizer so I used body spray instead, which I think worked well enough.  

The base colour is three coats of Barry M Jelly - Prickly Pear and I used Barry M - Vivid Purple to finish the design.

It took little getting used to and I feel that some of my nails didn't turn out as well as the others but it's quite good for a first try right? :) I will definatly be trying this technique again and I'm looking forward to trying out different colour combinations!

What do you think of this design? Have you tried it before?

Nail Wrap Alternative

Hiya!

I came up with this design quite randomly actually! I was thinking about different designs to do like the feather design, seeing as I didn't have any in my house, and then I came up with this!

Can you guess what helped me to make this?

Purple Gradient!

Hi guys!

Today I have my very first gradient to show you!

Caviar With A Difference!

Happy Sunday!

So I was having a think of what I could do next for you guys and I was thinking over a couple of ideas, but then I went into Poundland again. I promise I'm not always in there, even though it might seem like that!

These caught my eye instantly!

"Caviar!" They are in small bottles which makes them so cute and the colours (I thought), were amazing!  

So I had to do a design with them! Because there isn't a lot of these little beads in one particular colour, I knew I couldn't put them over all of my nails, like you usually would with this type of nail art, and even if I only covered two nails on each hand, I would have used all or most of the caviar up!

I then came up with this design:

Crackle & Sparkle

Hiya!

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

with topcoat

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?

Music Notes!

OMG we saw Lawson yesterday! They were amazing! (if you don't know who Lawson are, Google them right now!) :)

So anyway todays nails are the ones I did for yesterday - music notes :)

Left Hand

I used Barry M - Vivid Purple for the nail colour and used Finishing Touches Nail Art Pen in Silver for the notes. I didn't want to over do it with the music notes so I settled for a treble clef on my left thumb, a double music note on the right thumb and a single music note on each of my accent nails.

Right hand

The nail art pen was easy to work with, though two coats gave a better silver than just one, and the silver against the dark purple made the design really stand out. This nail art was so simple and easy to achieve :)

Let me know what you think?

Swatch - Barry M Gelly; Prickly Pear

Hi guys! Today I have a swatch of one of Barry M's Gelly nail polishes called Prickly Pear.

Prickly Pear is a light purple that is opaque in two coats (I used three for the pictures as I didn't leave the second coat to dry for long enough and smudged them). The polish has a great formula that applies with no streaks or patches.
