Barbara Daly Fashion Nails - Pirate

Hi Everyone,

What glorious sunshine it is here in London. Hopefully its here to stay. Today I have a polish I picked up from Tescos from the Barbara Daly Fashion Nails range - Pirate. Its a rather odd colour, so of course I had to purchase it.

Pirate (cool name) is a nude/greige/beige with micro flecked green shimmer. Don't think I have the right skin tone to pull this off. This is 3 coats. Formula was okay, a little thick. I found it difficult to capture the green shimmer although its there. A all round nice peculiar colour.  Price? £3.00 for 7mls available here.

Any Barbara Daly fans out there?

NOTD - OPI Charmed By A Snake

Hello Everyone!

Well I've been enjoying the last few days of sunshine here in London, it's actually been warm! Yay!

Today I have for you a polish from OPI's Spring 2008 India Collection - Charmed By A Snake. A beautiful golden sandy brown, packed with gold shimmer. Surprised this is a Spring shade as I think it's a perfect fit for Autumn.

Isn't this SUPER gorgeous! I love how the colour appears to have a gradient effect on the nail! This shade and collection is still pretty much available online. This was 3 coats, application brush was appalling but formula was okay. No topcoat used on this one.

Have you got any colours from this OPI collection? I could of got two more but restrained myself :-)

Thanks for reading

A little Gem

Hello Again

After that moany post, I thought well we all need a little sparkle. Here I have Nubar - Gem, a sparkly purple/brownish duochrome polish with holographic glitter from their Prism Collection. It's a beautiful polish and interesting colour. A bit textured as the glitter is quite chunky. This is 3 coats. Formula was good considering the glitter.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone!

Leopard Print Mani

Hey folks,

Today I have for you my attempt at the 'The Leopard Manicure'. Seeing as China Glaze has helpfully put a video guide on how to complete the look on their site (See Here), I thought I would give it a bash.

Now, as you can see from the wonderful execution (lol) it was a bit fiddly. For me this was a 'Monet' style of mani. From afar, this looked absolutely fab on my nails. Up close it just looked like a load of blobs not done very well. My mates were impressed at it, so I guess that's all that matters :-)

Products Used

Base - Color Club's - Love 'Em, Leave 'Em

Blobs - Beauty UK Nail Polish - Golden Chestnut

Squiggles - Models Own Nail Art Pen

Topcoat - Nubar Diamont

What do you think of the 'Leopard Look'?
