BARRY M FALL GRADIENT

Hi guys, sorry for the absence. Unfortunately I feel like I'm losing my polishing mojo which makes me sad, I haven't done my nails properly since starting uni again and it hasn't really bothered me. I'm often just too tired to sit and do my nails and I haven't really missed it, I won't lie. I'm hoping this is just a phase and I snap out of it because this blog and nail polish has bought me so much happiness and got me through some really dark times and not to mention I've invested a lot on my collection! 

 So today I have yet another gradient mani using the Barry M Gelly winter polishes. I saw a very similar gradient by Coewless Nails on instagram and when I had the Barry M's in front of me and knew I had to try it out for myself. I used Mustard and Paprika for the gradient and then topped it off with OPI The Man With The Golden Gun for a more 'fall' look. 

I'm really happy with the way it turned out and just think it screams autumn and yes I know we're in winter now ;P

ASIAN WEDDING INSPIRED NAILS

Hi everyone, so I'm back from my holiday, I had such an amazing time and now have a bad case of the holiday blues :( 

Anywho onto the nails, a while ago I needed to do some nails for my friends wedding but I was clueless! Asian weddings normally have a lot of rich colours in them so I needed some nails to match. So I sat and stared at my stash for about 5 minutes before inspiration struck! I decided to go with a shimmery red and orange gradient topped off with gold flakes because whats an Asian wedding without gold? 

I started off with one thin coat of Orly Flicker and then did a gradient with Orly Smolder and Flicker. 

The two colours are so rich and deep and just look like they're glowing, I then finished it all with one coat (and a bit of dabbing) of  OPI The Man With The Golden Gun.

 It didn't match my outfit exactly but it did match my Aunties outfit at her wedding about 5 years ago (if only I was as good with my nails then as I am now!) 

I loved this mani so much ! Is this something you would wear?

MORE GOLDEN STAMPING

So the internet isn't fixed and it meant I missed out on entering an amazing contest, urgh! I am not impressed sky please sort it out !

 Anyway these nails are one which looked good in my head but yeah not so much on my nails. It's basically the mani from my previous post (Nails inc Motcomb Street and OPI The Man With The Golden Gun) and then I used the cascading squares image from the BM - 320 plate with some Barry M Gold Foi ! 

Hmm, so yeah there you are, what do you guys think?

IT'S THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN !

So I got this at the beginning of the month and because I loved the previous combo I did with Nails Inc Motcomb street and SOpi It's real 18k gold topcoat (which I showed you guys here ) I thought I'd recreate with The Man With The Golden Gun, and well, it turns out I prefer the SOpi ! I still really like this one but I prefer the smaller flakes, maybe a different combination will change my mind, who knows?! 

Anyway what you see is 2 coats of Nails Incs and 1 coat of TMWTGG and then quite a bit of dabbing because the flakes are unfortunately rather sparse (you can see I went a bit OTT on my accent nail lol!) 

So yeah, there you go which gold topcoat do you prefer?
