Puzzled by Nail Art

Today is just a quick but very cute manicure I came up with last night. I have been going through the bundle monster plates to try and use some designs that I would not usually pick. I tend to go with the flowery and pretty designs first so I really wanted something different.

This cute little puzzle design really fits that bill.

To create this look I used Barry M Raspberry as my base colour. It is a very pigmented colour and only needed two thin coats to look this good. I have never worn this as a full nail colour before but enjoyed watching it shift between red and dark pink depending on the light.

I then used my trusty Barry M Gold Foil to stamp the full nail puzzle design from BM 319 and the little puzzle heart found on plate BM 321 just for my accent nails.

Quick and cute. I love the accent nail look especially when it matches as perfectly as this :-)

I hope you liked todays look?

Beautiful Green with Envy

I forget how much I love green. Then I stumble across a gem of a polish like this one and I fall in love with green all over again. I cannot tell you how lovely this polish looks on yor nails. Its shiny, sparkly and rich in colour. Its the pretty much the perfect shade. It looks great in the swatch pictures below but as this blog is about nail art I of course had to stamp something suitabley pretty over the top.

For this manicure I used BYS Green with Envy for my base colour. This polish really is a steal at only £1.50 a bottle. I love how it applies as well - two completely effortless coats of shimmery green goodness. I then stamped using my trusty Konad White and the flower design taken from plate BM 321.

As I had a little more time to work on this manicure I decided to add some pretty sparkly purple rhinestone accents. They never last much longer than the time it takes me to finish taking blog photos but they do look good :-).
