Hey guys,
Yesterday I used Barry M red black for the first time since I bought it. I absolutely love this colour as it is the perfect red black that I've been searching for for ages. I hadn't bothered to try this one as it looked almost chocolate brown in the bottle I had no idea I would love it so much. I added the gold this morning so as you can see there is some wear on the tips. I feel the gold really glams up this polish. I always feel guilty nowadays if I only paint my nails a base colour but this colour is amazing and for £2.99 you can't go wrong.

Red Black yesterday

Hope you guys enjoy,

I have a feeling this one is going to stain my nails like most reds do :(

Hey guys,

Yesterday I attempted for the first time creating a stripe mani using tape. I have never done this before and so was pleased with the result until putting top coat on dragged some of the silver :( I love the colour combination and the difference between the silver foil effect and the pink varnish. Pictures first then a tutorial.

I started by painting a base colour of Barry M bright pink, I painted this the night before so that when I applied the tape the nail varnish wouldn't smudge or pull off. I then cut strips of masking tape and positioned them on  the nail creating horizontal stripes. On the ring finger I used smaller stripes of masking tape so it was slightly different than the others creating a subtle accent nail. I then applied top coat which unfortunately smudged some of the silver. 

Hope you enjoy,

Lauren :P
