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!

NOTD - Models Own Bubblegum

Hey Lovelies!

Today I am wearing Models Own "Bubblegum" from their new neon collection.

Bubblegum is a hot pink neon creme polish and required two coats for full opacity. It was quite a thick consistency.

I am really happy with this polish it is much more brighter and neon than it appears in my photos. Such a lovely colour for the summer!

NOTD - Alessandro Pink Cadillac Review and Swatches

Hey lovelies!

Today I am reviewing a polish that was kindly sent to me from Alessandro International. Alessandro International is a brand I wasn't familiar with as it's a European brand ... but good news UK ladies they are launching in the UK right now! I love it when new brands come to the UK ... who can have too many nail polish brands??

So a little bits about Alessandro - they have a range of 99 colours and 4 different systems:- nail polish, striplac, lac sensation and colour gel. They also sell other hand and nail care related products.

So today I am reviewing Alessandro "Pink Cadillac". Pink Cadillac is a sheer pink toned red polish with tiny specks of shimmer/glitter throughout! The shimmer is more pink but I think the polish looks mostly red on me! I used 3 coats for total opacity, however, could have got away with two coats if you don't mind visible nail line. I have been wearing the polish for 2 days so far and no chipping!

I think the bottle is really cute, and has a groove where you put your thumb whilst holding the lid which is really handy for gripping the brush.

So far I'm very impressed with the polish and the brand and have had a browse on their website and am already eyeing up a few of their products namely, the Thermo Twist polishes and the Crystal Punk polishes. Be sure to go check out this brand at http://alessandro-international.com.
