Hey guys, 

Back again today with another swatch post. I decided to show you Barry M Ruby glitter over Barry M pomegranate. This created a lovely shiny sweet looking nail. Unfortunately my nails started breaking again. I had kept the ring finger nail glued on when it partially split but the lumps of glue under the nail were driving me crazy. So I decided just to cut it back and file the other nails down slightly as It took so long for me to be happy with my nails and they had stayed perfect for a while I hate to cut them all down to stubs. So my nails don't match again but at least some of them are long enough to do nail art on.  Anyway enough rambling heres the pictures.

Hope you enjoy,

Lauren

Hey guys,
Yesterday I tried out doing a leopard print design. I've seen a lot of variations of leopard but I prefer ones which incorporate different, unnatural colours. I don't usually like leopard print as I find it a bit 'chavy' and I don't like its normal colour. I choose to instead use a base colour of Barry M cyan blue and create the leopard spots using Barry M greenberry.

I love this design as although the spots are a different colour the difference is subtle as they are a lighter colour than the base. To create the leopard print I just added the green dots put black brackets around them and then added little black 'c' shapes over the base colour. 

Hope you guys enjoy, please comment and follow!

Also sorry I forgot to clean my cuticles before taking pics lol

Hey guys,

Today I've done a very simple design based on the board game monopoly. I know there are many different monopoly variations but this is ased on the classic london one. I chose to only do the property cards as these easily fit on the nail and are very simple. Pictures first than a tutorial.

To start I painted my nails a base colour of Barry M mint green which needed two thick coats. I than painted the tips of my nails matte white and than went over this with the colour. On the thumb is mango, then blood orange, next lemon ice-cream and then spring green and indigo (all Barry M). I then used a black fine liner pen to write the name and the value of the property and to underline the colour. Add a topcoat and the design is finished. 

Hope you enjoy,

Lauren

What variations of monopoly do you own? I don't have the classic but I do have the lord of the rings edition :P

Hey guys,
Just an update on the previous post. I was really unhappy with the oranges so changed those nails. I instead painted them using the new Pink Barry M from Superdrug. I am really not impressed with these limited editions this one still wasn't opaque with four coats! Yet it is a nice colour. Only pick up this colour if it's free I definitely wouldn't buy it for £3.99. Here is the skittle I created, I thought the colours would go ok together as I wanted to try out the pink but I'm not sure. Tell me what you think.

Hope you enjoy,

Lauren
