23rd June - Sunday Experiments

Sunday the day of the rest -  I just wanted to mess about and find the best way to create effects for some of my Summer Designs.

 

This is me messing about for the No 13 - Strawberries and Cream Summer Nail Design. The pink is cute and girlie, but I think I need to make the 'Seeds' a bit smaller as it looks like a Mr Blobby Nail!

The red is a bit harsh, so am going to riffle through my collection and try and find something a bit less harsh... Let me know what you think? My mum thought it was the perfect colour...

Or maybe I should try a neon pink...?

Follow me to see the end result and comment below with your opinion!

 

This is me playing about with the Barry M Croc Effect in Burgundy. I feel a bit cheated really, it's just like the Gold Crackle they do, without the texture, and it looks nothing like the design on the lid. Present day I'm sure they could scan the effect and then pretty it up?

I do really like it over the white (Essie Blanc) but it doesn't sit well on top of the greens, which was the idea for Martini Nails...

What's your favourite? Do you like the effect?

Comment below and let me know what you think.

Hope everyone had a great weekend, try and resist those Monday blues!

World Peace .\/..

No.2 Neon Party - Summer Design

So I learnt somethings last night like Barry M stains and the diamantes I bought react with my top coat.

So the stripes you see below were meant to be white... the varnish was dry so I didn't think to put a top coat on before the detail but lesson learnt!

I also picked up some cheap diamantes yesterday and when I used nail glue to apply they went cloudy,  and when stuck on top of varnish and covered with top coat they also went cloudy!

I should just YT this but if anyone has hints or tips for diamantes please let me know!

Hope everyone's having a good weekend, let me know what you think :-D
