NOTD: Pastel Swirl

I found it really difficult to picture this, I did the colours a little too pale I think. The colours do stand out a lot more in real life though so I still love them!

Also I am really loving having my nails more rounded and shorter. I thought I would miss the length, but I think I actually prefer them like this :)

To begin as always I applied a base coat to all my nails. On my thumb, middle and ring finger I painted 2 coats of Barry M Cream Soda. Then on my index and little finger I applied 2 coats of 'Ard As Nails Honeysuckle Bliss in the Lane.

On the nails painted with Cream Soda I applied a coat of Seche Vite and allowed it to completely dry. Then I used Twinkled T's Triangle Cyclone Vinyls and placed them differently on each nail. I used Rainbow Connection's Zap Skin Protector around my nail. Then I used a sponge and did dots of colour as shown, I used Barry M Lemon Ice Cream, Barry M Kiss Me Quick and Ciate Ahoy Sailor. I then peeled off the vinyl and the skin protector.

To finish I applied a top coat of Seche Vite to all nails.

NOTD: Purple Smoosh

Ugh so annoyed that I smudged my index finger :( a bit of fluff landed on my nail as I was putting the top coat on! But in spite of that I still love them. Gotta love a smoosh mani :)

As always to begin I painted a base coat on all my nails. Then I applied 2 coats of Barry M Cotton to all nails.

To create the smoosh effect I used my usual stamper, I use MoYou London's XL transparent non-sticky marshmallow stamper. I then placed dots of polish on it, I started with Barry M Fondant, then I used Barry M Personal Best and lastly Cupcake Polish Next Taupe Model. I then dabbed the stamper on to my nail maybe 2 or 3 times until I was happy with the coverage. I did this on my thumb, index, ring and little finger.

I then stamped over the smoosh effect on my index and little finger. I used MoYou London White Knight to stamp and I picked up the pattern shown from MoYou London Pro Collection plate 01. And you can see my index finger before I smudged it!

As for my middle finger I kept it white and added 2 purple diamanté studs and 1 clear diamanté stud as shown (had them a while can't remember where I got them from).

  

To finish I applied a top coat of Seche Vite to all nails.

NOTD: Simple Spring Nude

I haven't done my nails properly since Valentine's as I got a virus and it's taken me a while to get over it :( But I am feeling much better now!
Apparently Spring has sprung, but today where I am it snowed a little. So instead of using some Spring pastel colours I thought I would go for a nude :)

To start as always I painted all my nails with a base coat. Then again on all nails I painted 2 coats of Barry M Butterscotch Sundae. This is one of the four new Barry M Gelly's and I really love it, great nude for my skin tone.

Then on my thumb, index and little finger I painted over a coat of Next Ballet Shoe. I didn't even know until a month or 2 ago that Next did nail polish, but when I did this is one of the beauties I picked up.

For the stamping I used the original clear jelly stamper and picked up the image as shown from Born Pretty Store plate BP-48 using Barry M Gold Foil. I then stamped this image as shown on my middle and ring finger.

To finish I painted a top coat of Seche Vite to all nails.

NOTD: Turn Up The Love

Instead of having a sharp point, because I have managed stabbed myself with them several times over the year and a bit I had them, I decided to keep the same shape but round them off at the tip. Do you think they look better like this? I quite like them!
As for the mani, I got this China Glaze glitter a while ago and thought it would make a perfect colour for a Valentine's mani. And of course I had to get the beautiful Twinkled T love chain vinyls out, they are probably my favourite Twinkled T vinyl!

To begin as always I painted all my nails with a base coat. Then I applied China Glaze Turn Up The Heat to all nails, I applied it by using a sponge and I applied Rainbow Connection's Zap Skin Protector around my nails to avoid the mess of clean up.

On my index and little finger I applied a Twinkled T love chain vinyl. Then I painted over it with Barry M Pink Lemonade and carefully peeled off the vinyl.

To finish I applied a top coat of Seche Vite to all nails.

NOTD: My Heart Skips A Beat

My first Valentine's mani for 2016! I have had these heartbeat vinyls for a while now, so I thought this would be the perfect time to use them!

To start as always I painted all my nails with a base coat. On my thumb, index, middle and little finger I applied 2 coats of Ciate Ladylike Luxe. Then on my ring finger is 2 coats of Ciate Pom Pom.

On my ring finger painted with Pom Pom I used this heart stencil from She Sells Seashells. I then sponged on Ladylike Luxe and carefully peeled away the stencil.

On my thumb, index, and little finger painted with Ladylike Luxe I used the Skinny Heartbeat vinyls from Twinkled T. I painted over using Pom Pom and carefully peeled off the vinyl. I left my middle finger plain with Ladylike Luxe.

To finish I painted a top coat of Seche Vite to all nails.
