IT'S SNOWING WITH BARRY M!

Hey guys! So once again I'm here, after a ridiculous amount of time, I'm not even going to begin explaining (we'll be here all day!) 

I've really missed blogging and doing my nails, I enjoy it so much and it was such a huge part of my life before, I feel sad that it's not anymore.  

Anyway tonight I have some winter nails that I did ages ago (like over a year ago) I did a gradient with Barry M gelly polishes in Blue Grape and Blackberry and then painted on the little Christmas trees with black acrylic paint. Over that I used El Corazon Confetti polish in 531a, which is the PERFECT snow nail polish! 

So in other news, after nearly 5/6 years? I have changed to oval shape nails! I just wanted a change and am liking it so far! I had to share this with people who wouldn't look at me like I had 2 heads, lol! 

I know I don't post here so if anyone is interested head over to my instagram where I occasionally post!

A PICTURE POLISH CHRISTMAS GRADIENT

Hi everyone, how are all? I've had a stressful day today but I did some Christmas nails a few days ago and I was determined to get them posted before the 25th so we'll see how that goes. (I think I've failed already, ha!) 

So I bought the gorgeous Bridget by Picture Polish a while ago and then the other day the gorgeous Saira sent me Kryptonite as a present, which has been a huge lemming of mine. 

Whilst I was arranging them on my shelf these 2 colours just happened to sit next to each other and I immediately knew I needed to do a Christmas gradient with them, which is what I'm showing you tonight! 

I've done a red and green Christmas gradient before here but this ones is HOLOOO! 

   

LOVE IT!

HOLOGRAPHIC GLITTER PLACEMENT NAILS

Hey guys, hope your having a nice Christmas!

Today I have some really sparkly nails to show you which I did a little while ago! 

You've all seen the glitter in OPI Snow You Love Me, it's so gorgeous and unique right? Well its supposed to have a terrible formula so instead of wasting £8-£10 on a bottle I bought a small bag of the same glitter on ebay for £2 (I think) after I saw this post by Polish All The Nails.

I thought I'd look nice with a red base colour, so I started off with one coat of Kiko 238 and then I used a thick bottle of topcoat to kind of embed the glitter into because they're quite large and I didn't want them to stick up. 

Urgh, I love this glitter and I've bought some more in different colours and I've also been sent some from an online store which is so beautiful and I can't wait to share with you :) Ok, so enjoy the rest of your day guys and I'll see you in the next post :)

BIG HOLOGRAPHIC CHRISTMAS BOWS

Hey peeps, another Christmassy nail design with glequins :)

I picked up a 3 packet of Deborah Lippmann from T K Maxx for only £8 in the clearance and this was one of the polishes and wow this is such a stunner, it's one of those polishes that glows from within, so so beautiful!

For these nails I started off with two coats of Deborah Lippmann Through the Fire and then used small, holographic, hex glequins and did these squares on my nails which ended up looking like a big shiny bow in my eyes!

So, that's it for today, hopefully I'll see you in the next post :)

GLITZ & GLAMOUR WITH MORE CHRISTMAS GLEQUINS

Hey guys, hows your weekend going? I have loads of work to do and I finally started today but still have so much to do! Anway here are some more Christmassy nails for you guys.

I started off with a base colour of Orly Glitz and Glamour, which is just the perfect gold nail polish ever, I then used red and green rhombus glequins to make cubes on all the nails except the accent nail which I did a full glitter placement using alternating red and green glequins. 

This is a very 'blingy' design and quite eye catching which might not be for everyone but I quite like it, is this something you'd wear?

CHRISTMAS GLEQUIN FLOWERS

Hi guys, so today I had to go into town and it was unbelievably busy! I didn't actually need to go for myself but urgh, what was only supposed to be a quick(ish) trip into town turned to out to be much longer and stressful, never again! 

Anyway so here are some Christmas themed nails, I started off with two coats of Sally Hansen Bandage (a lovely nude colour).

 Then I used red, green and gold rhombus glequins to create these flower shaped things which I saw on Instagram (I can't remember who it was but I'll have a look and update it here).

They're really easy to do so you should definitely try it out if you have some rhombus shaped glitter :)
