Neon Disco Nail Art by Marcus

Marcus is back to do another nail art for you all!

When I was away I bought some new Neon and Pearl acrylic paint and we were dying to try them out. 

I also have 4 new nail art brushes from Moyra UK that I had been lusting after for a really long time and they do not disappoint!!! I am hoping to do a more in depth post on these soon so keep your eyes peeled (gross!) 

Marcus used Glitter Gal Brainfreeze for the base. This black in an amazing holo......




So Marcus saw the neon's and thought of DISCO! 


The neon paints didn't cover worth a damn so we put white underneath but I'm still not happy with the way they cover. Le sigh.

My picture isn't great as I HATE the way the light bleaches some of the image out... Any tips on this then please drop me and email lol.

Okay so this nail art is disco lights and on my ring finger there is a raver man! 

I don't think I have ever seen a nail art like this and I am not 100% on it but I know Marcus was happy with the shapes and the effect. 

Hes just pretty far out man....

80's Themed Nail Art


I haven't been able to post that much recently, I have been super busy planning a surprise birthday party for my husbands 30th. 
As you can probably guess from the picture it was an 80's themed party. 

Well the party was last saturday and now you all have my undivided attention! I will hopefully get back into the swing of posting nearly every day :) 

I just had to use my new bold Essie polishes for this mani, I used Essie's Lights, Essie's Butler Please and BarryMs Lemon Ice Cream. 

I used Cheeky plate CH51 from the summer 2012 collection and Konad Special polish in Black. 

I hope you enjoy this bright mani and i hope you all haven't missed me tooooo much ;p

My Life In Lacquer, My Custom Polish!




 Today I received my own custom made indie polish by TarasTalons!!
I have been waiting by my front door for this polish and I am so happy with the result. 
I really wanted a bright glitter and I knew I wanted lots of different sizes of glitter. 
 I really like the coverage of this polish but I think it would be easier to apply with a wider brush,but Tara doesn't usually make polish with such big pieces so i cant expect her to stock a new bottle just for me :P 

This has a FANTASTIC amount of glitter in and this is only ONE slightly thicker coat of polish!

 I did want the base clear but the pink neon hex glitter did turn the suspension base slightly pink, Although i actually really like the base colour and i cant see it makes a huge noticeable difference:P

 I wanted to show the glitter over black and white and over a few differnt colours and I just love them all! 
It would work really well as just a feature nail or even as a whole mani. Very summery and bright and i think this is also very on trend as i have seen a lot of neon's and glitters this year!


I chose to call this "My Life in Lacquer" as I wanted a polish and a name very personal to me and theres nothing more personal than a blog (well maybe a couple things, *wink*)



 I think my fave out of these is the blue or the green. I love an excuse to have multi coloured nails though!! 
I used Barry M Matte White and Black for the first pics 
I used Barry M Bright Purple,Lemon Ice Cream, Blueberry Ice Cream and Sinful Colors Pistache. 


All these pics have ONE thicker coat of My Life In Lacquer over 2 Coats of underneath colour. No top coat.
