Bubbles

Hello, sorry I haven't posted yet this week :/ But here is a really fun design to try :)
It is similar to one of my first designs but a jazzed up version with glitter and more dots :)

Items I used:
Black polish
White polish (Barry M  - matte white)
Fine Glitter polish
Silver glitter polish
Medium blue polish
Light blue polish (collection 2000 - Button moon)
Dotting tool


 Although it takes up a lot of tools and polishes it is really simple, and easy to do, the hardest part is making sure that the dots all get smaller than the one before.

Method:
1. Paint all of your nails black and when that is dry cover them in the fine glitter polish.
2. Put some of the blue polish on some paper, or something you can use to put he polish for the dotter on, then get a good amount of polish on the dotter and make a large dot at the bottom of the nail and then make more dots that get smaller and curve around the side of the nail.
3. Do the same with the white polish, but at the top of the nail.
4. When the blue is dry, make smaller, light blue dots inside the darker blue dots.
5. It is optional to add silver glitter inside the white dots
6. Add a top coat and you are done.  :)

New Barry M polishes!


So today I bought 2 new nail polishes by Barry M and they were so pretty I couldn't resist posting about them. I got them from Boots as they are doing 'Buy any 2 Barry M polishes and get £1 off' offer and the temptation was too much :O
The ones I bought are really pretty and I just hope the pictures do them justice :)
(please excuse the shape of my nails atm)

The reddy/pink one is called Raspberry and the browny one is Dusky Mauve. It dose actually have a purple shine to it but you cant see in this picture but you can in ones later on.

Here is Raspberry.


 This is two coats without a top coat
It is really pretty and looks very nice on your nails :)

 This one is Dusky Mauve
Its is super nice and I don't have another one like this in my collection. It is kind of brown but in the light it has a lovely purple shine to it

 This is two coats on my nail with no top coat

Hope you like this post, I think that these polishes are just lovely, I just love Barry M polishes :)

Butterfly!

Hello! So here is another nail design, I think it is super cute and it only takes a few lines. That simple! Enjoy :)



Items I used:
Orange polish
Purple polish
Thin nail art brush

I have found that the easiest way to do this is by doing the middle stroke first, then just add two bigger rounded V shapes and then two smaller rounded V shapes bellow that. :)

It really is just a couple of lines! I really hope you liked this colourful design, let me know what you think :)
Tip: Other colours look great too!  Dark blue and silver look really nice together :)
