NOTD: Barry M Blueberry

Hey lovelies!

Today I am wearing Barry M's "Blueberry" from the Gelly range. Blueberry is a sky blue/cornflower blue creme. It took just two coats for full opacity and the application was really good!

I decided to add an accent nail by dotting some Barry M "Lychee" (nude creme) onto my nail using the nail polish brush and randomly dotting the nude colour. I then used a dotting tool and dipped into Nails Inc's "Black Taxi" to edge the leopard spots.

I am really pleased with this mani and am surprised at how much I like this blue as I don't usually go for colours like this but I'm glad I did!

NOTD - Leopard Rose Nails

Hey Lovelies! Hope you've all had a fab Easter!

Today I am wearing quite possibly my most favourite mani this year ... so far!

I used 2 coats of Barry M's Gelly "Lychee" as my base colour (nude creme).

For the accent nails I was inspired by a new scarf I bought from Primark at the weekend and so I wanted to re-create the design onto my nails. I used Barry M's "Mushroom" (taupe brown) to create the leopard spots, then I used Nails Inc's "Black Taxi" (black creme) and a dotting tool to go round the edges of the spots. Then to create the roses I used Barry M's "Papaya" (coral creme) and just brushed on a larger amount onto the nail into a rough round circle. I then used Nails Inc's "St James" (red creme) and a dotting tool to edge the flower and then I randomly drew more red inside the flower so that it looked more like a flower. For the leaves I used Barry M's "Spring Green" with a thin dotting tool and drew a "v" shape off the flower.

I am absolutely over the moon with how this turned out as I love leopard print and the roses look so cute with leopard print too!
