COBOLT CRACKLE

This post is admittedly maybe a year or so out of date, but until now I wasn't really feeling the crackle nail effect trend. Anyway, I decided to bite the bullet and give it a go... Whaddya think?

I used Barry M White Nail Polish as a base colour, and layered it with Barry M's Instant Nail Effects - Crackle in Blue Print.

GLITTER BUG

What do you guys think about nail art? Or anything other than your straight-run-of-the-mill mani? Well, I'm kind of bored of block colour and decided to get creative.. result? Glitter nails. Verdict? I'm asking you! What do you think?

 
 What you need:
1. Block colour of your choice - I used '17 Lasting Finish Nail Polish' in 'Midnight Sapphire'
2. Base & Top coat - I used 'O.P.I Start to Finish'
3. GLITTER - I used gold.

1. Start by applying a base coat to your nails - especially important if you're using a dark colour (like moi) as this will stop your nails from staining and going that lovely yellow colour!

2. Apply your block colour - I had to apply two coats of the Lasting Finish nail varnish to get the really deep blue colour.

3. Now whilst the nail colour is still drying, dip your nails into the glitter lightly- the nail varnish being slightly wet and tacky still will allow the glitter to adhere to your nails.

4. When the nail varnish is dry, apply two coats of top coat, which will help to seal the glitter and prevent chips.

Whaddya think!?

In need of new nails? ... Look no further

Sally Hansen's "Salon effects real nail polish strips" are my new beauty must-have for fab and fun fingers.

Cool eh?
They're made from real nail varnish and claim to last up to 12 days, so if you're in a rush out the door or fancy some super detailed nail art but can't be bothered for a trip to the manicurists these are perfect.

Included in the packet are 16 differently-sized strips (in case you bodge some up), a cuticle stick and mini file/buffer. You simply peel of the strip, stick onto your nail bed and file off any excess... no drying time = no smudges!

Available in both simple, plain colours and crazy patterns there is sure to be something to suit you. Personally I am LOVING the glitters line, especially 'Blue Ice' (second nail down on the far right) ..... teamed with an LBD... amaze?!
