Hey, two posts on one day I'm on a role. I did this manicure a few weeks ago now and really loved it. It combined two of my new favourite Barry M gelly's Mango and Pasion fruit with Barry M black multi glitter over the top. This is so wearable and pretty I loved wearing this manicure.

Hope you enjoy

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,
It seems that I am slightly obsessed with flowers and butterflies at the moment. I have done two butterfly pattern nails but I wasn't really happy with either. Today's nails though I am so happy with. I also used my new mango Barry M jelly, I bought this just to collect the new colours as oranges don't usually suit my skin tone. However I started using it the other day and it is the perfect orange tone for my skin. I am so happy with it, although mango flesh is in my opinion a lot more yellow in real life than this colour. Anyway pictures than a short tutorial.

To create this nails I started with a base colour of mango as I already mentioned. I then sponged Barry M lemon ice-cream over the middle of all the nails. Next I painted the tips of my nails black and added white dots using a small dotting tool. Then with my black nail art pen I drew the butterfly wing pattern over the orange. I finished with a coat of fast dry top coat. 

Hope you enjoy,

Lauren :D

Hey Guys,
I quickly wanted to show you swatches of my new jelly with confetti effects. I showed Passion Fruit earlier this week but I also bought mango. These pictures started of as me trying to do a orange fruit design that kind of flopped and so I added both my confetti's Liquorice and bubblegum to the nails.

To do the oranges I started by smudging black onto parts of some nails using a brush. I then put the black confetti effect over that and than blobbed on the new Limited edition Superdrug green Barry M to create a leaf. Then to do a swatch for the bubblegum confetti I added one coat of that to the other nails. I know this looks a mess but I wasn't happy with the design so used it to show a swatch instead. I may also do a separate swatch but as they say 'two birds, one stone.' 

 Don't expect you to enjoy

Lauren.
