NOTD-Cupcake Topping Inspired Nails

My NOTD is inspired by cup cakes and the beautiful designs iced onto them. For the nails I have used 2 coats of 17 nail polish in 'Mint Choc Chip'. I've then take a tooth pick and carefully added on 'Parma Violet' for the dotted detail on the nails. I've topped this off with 1 coat of clear nail polish by Rimmel. OK so I still need practice with my application, but I reckon these nails look good enough to eat!

NOTD Barry M 303 Bright Purple

 Today's NOTD is another Barry M Nail Paint (Oh how I do love them!) This one is 303 Bright Purple.

The colour is truly luscious. I have a thing for purple/pink/red polishes and this is a favourite from my collection. I have applied 2 coats, but for a more subtle colour you can apply one.

The Nail Paints from Barry M are a bargain price of £2.99 each, which is why I have a huge stash of them!

NOTD: Barry M Raspberry 273

I have a HUGE stash of Barry M nail polishes as I love their colours and the wide selection available.

Todays NOTD is 273 in Raspberry. I've applied 2 coats of the nail polish to give it a deep colour. The colour is a lot more deeper and a true 'raspberry' than shown in the photo. I haven't applied a top coat so the photo illustrates the actual shine from the colour.

Applying was easy and the brush was just the right size for my nails. It dried fairly quickly and lasts for a few days without chipping.

What do you think of the colour?

Nail of the Day (NOTD)-Blue Tips

So I was experimenting with nail designs whilst watching TV, and this is what I came up with. Apart from attempting a French manicure once, its the first time I've done such a design, so its not perfect!

I used the stencils in the Sally Hansen's French manicure kit as a guideline for the blue nail varnish, with a top coat of clear varnish for an extra shine and to keep it in place.

Hopefully I will be attempting other more challenging designs, including water marbling! xox
