Hi, I said in the last post that today I bought Barry M croc effect, but I also bought a new jelly called Blue Grape. I didn't think superdrug were selling these till the middle of next week but was so excited when I saw this colour. I also bought Blood Orange which came out a while ago although I really want to buy guava but this was not in stock. Anyway, blue grape has got to be my favourite out of today's purchases due to the boldness of its colour. I've thought for a while now that most of the jelly colours were quite muted such as prickly pear, papaya and lychee to name a few but these latest colours are really bright and highly pigmented. They also save me a lot of money on top coat :P Here's the pictures, the blue didn't photograph as well as I'd like :( next the tutorial.



I prefer my chevrons to be more like pointy half moons so to create these nails I first painted my nails with Barry M foil effects silver as I love the contrast between the jelly shine and the foil texture. When this wa dry I cut squares of masking tape and positioned these on my nail to create a triangle of covered silver. Next I painted over the nail in blue grape and when still wet removed the tape.

Hope you enjoy
Lauren
