Love Skittle Nail Art

This mani is super cute, even if I do say so myself :)

This is a skittle mani a la Nailasaurus, as you all know I love +The Nailasaurus.
 She is a real inspiration to me :)






I got sent these really lush Love charms from Effect Beauty. The feature a little diamante and I really love them. I did bent them a little to get them to sit flatter but I think it would probably sit better if I had bigger or longer nails. 

Doing different nail arts on different nails is quite fun as you get to try out different designs and see what you like :) 

I used BarryM Rose Hip for the base, I really dislike the formula of this polish.
 Intensely.
I also used Zoya Areej and Barry M Dragon Fruit. 


What so you all think? 

The Love charms are available to buy from Effect Beauty and used LACQUER at the checkout for 10% off. 



some of these products were sent to me for my honest review. please see my disclaimer for details.

B is for Butterflies Nail art

New BarryM Gellys are MINE! 
I havent bought any mainstream polishes in soooo long as I have really only been excited by indies. BUT when BarryM brought out the new Gellys it rekindled my love for the ones I already own and then I decided I needed more! 


The new gellys I have bought seem in no way as thick as the others I have which I am a bit disappointed about as I love using them for art and stamping but as we all know they will thicken up in time. 

This is another one of those faffing nail arts where I have no idea or plan I just go with it..... 

So this is what I went with. 





I went for a waterfall (Nailasaurus inspired) then added some Happy Hands B Is For Butterflies to the ring finger. 

Macro bottle shot  *i didn't get any flowers or butterflies on my nails :( *


The middle finger is a sponging technique using the the Gelly polishes, I think it looks washed out like watercolours, I just call it mottling LOL 

I used, from the Gelly Range, Huckleberry as the base and then Prickly Pear and Greenberry for the add ons. Oh and I used a Color Club glitter striper too (squint and ya may see it LOL) 

Like I said they are a lot thinner so that was a tad annoying but I still like the overall look.

I am in LOVE with pastels and I think we will be seeing a lot of them again this summer.
What do you think? Do you love pastels?

Reverse Waterfall Nail Art

I have to start off by saying YAY!!! 
My Facebook blew up today and I have gone from 182 like to 305!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because of this I will be doing a GIVEAWAY soon!



Anyway.......
Here is a twist on a waterfall mani. I first saw this type of mani over at The Nailasaurus. 








I used Zoya Perrie as the base. Not really my colour if I am honest as I don't think it goes with my skin tone?

I then used Color Club Fashion Addict to fade some holo in from the tips. 

To do the waterfall type effect I used some of my new Stripers. I believe they are also by Color Club. 
The sripers are actually really good, plus they are bloody cheap! 

So what do you think? 

Oh and if you want to pop over to facebook and give me a "Like" you can HERE
