Sweater Stamping Nails

I know sweater nails are everywhere, but I do like them!

My base for this mani is Barry M Prickly Pear. Stamping is done with Mundo de Unas Metallic Violet using MoYou London plate Fashionista 03.

I did enjoy this stamping. I love the similar colours together. It was a bit challenging to get the camera to pick it up, that's why the low light photos made the cut.
Thanks for the visit. Hope to see you back soon!

Infinity Snowflake Stamping

This is the first Infinity plate that I have tried. Really happy with it. I ordered a few more at the same time and can't wait to use them.
The base is Barry M Sugar Apple, stamped with Mentality blue opaque and Konad special silver. The plate is Infinity 79. This is one of those mani's that I liked some of nails and some not so much. I even managed to get a picture of my "other" hand to show you.





I know there are a lot of snowflake nails but there are so many options for them. Kind of like an actual snowflake, no two are the same.

MckFresh Nail Attire Witchy Tutu

Today I have Witchy Tutu from MckFresh Nail Attire.

Witchy Tutu is a clear based glitter topper filled with too many different glitters to mention. Let's just leave it at multi-shaped, multi-coloured! No issues with application or formula. I used two coats over Barry M Olive. You could pretty much layer this over whatever colour undie you wanted. I had pretty good coverage with one coat, but it was so much fun that I threw on another.

Random Swatches

Hey there folks. This is a bit of a random post with some photos I had saved. Polishes I've used as bases, didn't like how they turned out etc. Not going into huge detail with each one, but thought I would just throw this out there anyways....

Julep Lissa two coats plus top coat.

Index and pinky are China Glaze Derailed. I tried water marble decals. My application of them didn't work. They were done with Derailed, Barry M Sugar Apple, MckFresh Do Ba Dee Goo Goo.

My First Nimbus Manicure

Welcome all!  Today I have my first attempt at a Nimbus manicure. This technique came from the Nailasaurus. You can view her tutorial HERE. This technique is fairly straight forward and doesn't take a long time to do.

I started with a white base. Colours used are MckFresh Nail Attire Do Ba Dee Goo Goo, OPI Amazon Amazoff, Rica Prim & Proper, and Barry M Sugar Apple.
My only complaint was the bubbles I ended up with. I'll need to work on that!





I really loved this, and I will defininetly be doing more of them. There are some parts of this manicure that didn't quite turn out that well, but live and learn. I'm sure my next try will be better.
Thanks for this visit. Hope you liked it!

Barry M Gelly Effect Green Berry Swatches

I have another lovely Barry M Gelly Effect polish for you. I do love these polishes. Not gonna lie. Today I have the shade Green Berry for you. Unfortunately, the colour was quite difficult to capture accurately. It was just one of those shades. The photos turned out to be a tad lighter then what the polish looks like in person. Sorry about this. I tried and tried, but it just wouldn't cooperate with me.

I used two coats of Green Berry plus top coat. I did have a couple of small areas that didn't quite self level, but top coat took care of these issues. Other then that, it was all good. I really liked it and am always happy to add a new green polish to my collection.

Barry M Papaya

Today I have my first Barry M polish. I realize they aren't new, but it was the first time I was able to purchase. I was able to purchase from Color4Nails. I chose two and if the second is as great as this, I'll be getting some more.
Papaya is a super coral shade that is bright but isn't at the same time. It applied flawlessly in two coats. Dried super shiny without top coat too, although I added some anyways. These pictures were taken after three days. As you can see, no visible signs of wear. Nothing beats a good creme!

Nothing but good things to say about this polish. It got a ton of compliments too! I do have another to try and I hope it's just as good.
Thanks for the visit. Hope to see you again soon.
