Carmine Mani by Marcus

I'm technically on holiday at the mo... Can you believe Ive been so organised Ive scheduled posts!!
I cant have you all going without nail art can I?!


Marcus, as regular readers will know, is my father in law. Marcus seems to have really gotten into nail art and its great to sit down and bounce ideas around!


This mani features three reds

MaxFactors Glossfinity in 110 Red Passion, Zoya PixieDust in Chyna and China Glaze City Siren.

These colours all covered really well so no white base was needed. Marcus just used a thin brush to do the red design and then outlined in black. 

For this design we decided to topcoat over the PixieDust and man was that a glittery red!

You would need more than just the one coat of topcoat. 

We only used one though.

What do you think of this nail art? I think this is so fab! 

Its easy to do and can be done in any colour combo! You could even add studs or dots? 

Don't fret guys I will be back soon and we can chat all about my holiday... 

Bet ya cant wait ?!!

Red Heart Nail Art

A couple weeks ago I was rooting through my stash looking for a red, a proper red. A pillar box red, if you will. 

And to my shock and horror I didn't have one!! So the next day we were out shopping and my husband went off on his own to the bank, only when i saw him later he suprised me with THE perfect red! What a babe!

So today I have some lovely valentines day type nails (in oct) lol. 

This is Max Factor Glossfinity Red Passion 110

The polish is pretty much opaque with two coats but you can still see my smile line on some nails. This is a tad less noticeable in real life.

Applies well although I did fine it a tad thin but the coverage isn't affected and I actually prefer a polish to be thinner as long as it builds up well. 

I used a stamping plate by Cheeky to do this mani.
