Nautical Style Nail Art

 Nautical nails are one of my favorite designs to do. I have no idea why, but I especially love an anchor lol!

I hand painted the anchor, but now I look back at it, it looks a tad naff lol

I did this design for the Nail Polish Lovers group on Google+ 

Products used 

Cheeky plates CH36 and CH 49 and Konad stamping polish in black and white. 

Essie Butler Please and BarryM Blueberry Ice Cream 

Whats your fave theme of nail art to do? 

Zebra Print Nail Art

 

Here I have again used the mottling technique used in posts HERE and HERE

I think this is one of my most fave techniques as its so easy to do and cant be achieved on both hands easily.

 

I used BarryM's Blueberry Ice Cream as a base then used BarryM's Guava, OPI If You Moust, You Moust for the mottling and Accessorize Damselfly for the glitter.

 

I used a Bundle Monster Stamp for the zebra print but I also painted over it with black polish to make it stand out more.

 

Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend!

 

Starry Night

 I was sent a few packets of nail stickers From Nailtopia and I found it really hard to decide which ones to use as they are all soo pretty! 

Today Ive chosen to use these stars. They are gold glitter and they have a really high glitter content. 

They actually look like they are made from the glitter i also have on my nails, not like overly sticky out like stickers usually are. 

Nailtopia sent these and i received them the next day! I love not having to wait for things. 

I used the same technique I used for the Trees nail art HERE 

The background is BarryM Blueberry Ice Cream with BarryM Cobalt Blue and BarryM Gelly in Guava. 

The glitter is my all time fave Kleancolor 24 Carat. I use this glitter more than i use any other glitter, its beautiful!

To purchase these stickers and a wealth of other nail art supplies check out Nailtopia HERE 

*These decals were sent to me for an HONEST review by Nailtopia. The views on this product are COMPLETELY my own.*

Barry M Ice Cream Collection

Ive been without a camera for a while, hence why i haven't posted recently. Did ya all miss me ?!

Well i have a camera now, so here is some Barry M Ice Cream swatches :)

I got these on my last haul from +Superdrug on a 3for2.

First up is Blueberry Ice Cream, a lovely creamy light blue. This is quite an opaque shade. Here is 2x coats with no topcoat.

  It applies well, although there was some visible brush marks. This would easily have been smoothed out with a top coat.

Next is Lemon Ice Cream. A sunny bright yellow. Here is 3x coats with no top coat.

This needed three coats to be opaque but totally worth it! i mean look at this lovely summer shade!. Again this applies really well. 

And last up is Berry Ice Cream. A pale, pastel violet. Here is 2x coats with no top coat. 

As you can see its a very pale shade but it does have a really good coverage and is opaque in 2 coats, 

This shade is really nice but is my least favorite of the three.

Out of all three my fav would have to be Lemon Ice Cream with Blueberry coming in a close second. 

I love pastel shades and Barry M doesn't disappoint. Especially when they are only £2.99 Each!
