Feathers that Loves Me Not

Happy Monday loves

I do hope you all had fantastic weekends? Little sis and I went to the most amazing wine and tapas bar on Saturday, we ordered a bottle of stunning Sauvignon and as many tapas dishes as we could name and sat for hours putting the world to rights! Perfect :-).

Whilst this may not be the most detailed or complicated nail art I have ever done... I cannot tell you how much I LOVE it! My favourite polish, with my favourite holo top coat and one of my most favourite stamps!

Blackened Bleu

Good evening lovelies

Tonight I have a sparkly little number to show you... this colour has been in my untrieds for a while as I really wanted to wear it and take pictures in some good natural light. I managed to take some lovely swatch pictures outside, but the final version complete with nail art had to be taken inside as the light had faded by then.

This sometimes black and sometimes blue polish looked gorgeous...

For the above look I used three coats of Barielle Blackened Bleu and then stamped just my ring finger using Barry M Silver Foil and the small floral pattern from plate M77. I add just two little blue rhinestones to pick out the gorgeous blue glitter hiding in the black jelly base of this polish.

These two swatch pictures were taken outside in natural daylight - the shimmer was amazing.

These two pictures were taken indoors with my daylight bulb and black background. Still amazing :-)

This colour looked really classy and was a real eye catcher, I will definitely turn it this again and again.

Glitter Jelly Sandwich with Feathers

This has been on my to do list for ages. I have been lemming after this Konad feather stamping plate for a while but as they are quite expensive I usually try to steer clear and just buy the Bundle Monster plates instead.

For all of those who know me you will not be surprised that I gave in and bought the plate just for this tiny little feather stamp. I love feathers :-)

This gorgeous little mani is made up of many layers so it took a while to create and a while to dry but I dont care because I love it :-)

I started with two thin layers of Barry M Strawberry Icecream. This is a thin jelly like pink polish that has been a favourite of mine recently and I knew it would be good to use for this jelly glitter sandwich.

I thin added one thick coat of Barry M Holographic. This is a really pretty holo hex glitter suspended in quite a thick clear jelly base.

To create the jelly sandwich I then topped this off with one further layer of Barry M Strawberry Icecream, which hid the holo effect and made the glitter look matte silver.

Finally I used Konad White to stamp these adorable feathers at varying angles and voila... one pretty pink feathery creation :-)

I am so in love with this look. I hope you love it too :-)
