Barry M Amethyst glitter!

I've been seeing this nail paint everywhere and absolutely loved it. Unfortunately I've had be careful with my money and decided not to get it till now. It was so worth the wait, definitely one of my favourites I own, favourite glitter one for sure.
I've got Barry M Bright Purple on underneath this, and to be honest after one coat of the glitter it looked gorgeous, but I decided on a second one just to make it more sparkly.
I'd recommend it, super pretty!

Multicoloured leopard print!

Haven't done my nails in quite a while as I was working in a restaurant over Christmas and wasn't allowed to wear nail varnish, but hurrah, I can now go back to having pretty nails!
So I decided I fancied failsafe leopard print, but instead of neutraly colours, I added some colour to it, and it looks super cute!


The colours are Cyan Blue by Barry M and Silver Foil, also by Barry M.
Still haven't got round to getting dotting tools but I just used a bobby pin and it worked pretty much the same.
Need to do my right hand now and I can't be bothered. Knowing me I'll just forget to do it and wander about with one done hand. Oops.

Nail art with tape!

I've been seeing a few of these cool manis online but didn't think I could do it as I don't have special nail tape.
TURNS OUT, you don't need special nail tape, sellotape works fine, so I used just that.
It's a bit finicky because you have to cut the tape up and try and get them roughly the same width, and when the tape is that thin it gets stuck to stuff and you can't find it. And the worst thing was when the sellotape took off part of the silver base, so I had to use a blunt toothpick to fill it back in, so it looks a bit messy.
All in all though, I love it, looks so simple and pretty, I also decided to just put glitter on the ring finger to break it up a bit.



The colours I used were Barry M Nail Effects in Silver Foil, Barry M Indigo and for the sparkle it's OPI's Servin' Up Sparkle.
Also I don't know why the picture isn't upright the way I took it... weird.

Blue sparkle!

I love glittery nail polishes and I barely have any, so I got a pretty blue topshop one and couldn't wait to try it.
The glitter in this isn't just like the fine little flecks in my Barry M ones, there are slightly larger hexagons in there which are super sparkly when they catch the light.
I included a blurry photo too because I like how the light hits the glitter.



My base colour is the Barry M retro collection in blue, and the glitter is a Topshop nail polish by Louise Gray called Junkyard.

Penguin nail art!

I haven't had much time to sit and do my nails recently, so now I've got a bit of down time back I decided to do some sweet ass nail art.
This is definitely one of my favourites because it's penguins!
It was pretty tough without nail art tools, I need a dotting tool, that would have been easier to do the eyes rather than using a toothpick, which sucked!

Anywho, here it is. Like I said, I used a toothpick so it's a bit messy.





Hope you like it :D

I apologise for my absence!

I've had some big stuff going on and haven't had time to do many fun things.
I'll try and get more stuff up as soon as possible, need to get a few more ideas too!
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

Galaxy Nails

So I've seen gradient and galaxy nails a lot and thought that the galaxy nails looked amazing.
They look so arty and impressive but it's incredibly easy to do, there are tutorials everywhere which like gazillions of different colour combos. I actually have a pair of cosmo print leggings from New Look so I drew inspiration from them.





The colours I used was a Barry M black base, and then I just randomly sponged on Retro Blue, White, Berry Ice Cream and Cyan Blue from Barry M and also a shimmery turquoise with no name by Miss Sporty and then just a coat of Servin' Up Sparkle by OPI.
