Shany Stamping - Doillies and Glitter

I saw one of my bezzies last night who got me the Shany Cosmetics stamping plates for my birthday so I took them over to do her nails!

We both love the doillies and glitter!
What do you think? X

Spring Nails - Barry M, Shany Cosmetics and Rio

I am in love with this mani and totally inspired which makes me want to take it off and do other cool manis... but I'm enjoying it so much!

What do you think?

Peace and love,

Avon Opal Top Coat review and Barry M Aquarium Mermaid Revue

OK I need to do a review on the opal top coat by it's self but they're both quite jazzy.

I did 2 coats of each but I think the opal looks best with just one coat....

Read on to see two coats of Avon's Opal and  Barry M's Mermaid.

Barry M Aquarium Collection - Pacific and Mediterranean Review

I'm not normally a shiny girl but I saw these colours on another blog I was mesmerised so ofc I had to do my own review.

There are the three coats, it was still a little patchy on the second hence the third.

Love them both. I think I have too many polishes!

Cutsie design with Barry M Grey, Pink and Shany stamping

So I wanted something with grey and pink ans had this triangle idea im my head.

On the first hand I tried changing stamping pattern as well as the colour but I think this left to much going on.

On the second hand I used the same stamping design twice and it looks much more effective.

I will update soon and let you know which stamping plates I used.

Having trouble with my Blogger recently and can only up date from my phone.

Peace and love,  Pink_PrincessZ xxx

Birthday Mani - Shany Cosmetics Stamping - SH52, SH07

 

So this was a super quick mani I did for my Birthday last Wednesday... It was my 21st if you couldn't tell!

So this was using a Barry M Polish Berry IceCream I got from the girls at work and a Shany Stamping Set from one of my bezzies...

 

I really love the Geometric Design, it's from a brand called Shany, plate SH25 and the numbers come from SH07. Not too sure how I feel about the Numbers as they remind me of an American Football Jersey? But I did really like this mani.

I think that the Geometric shapes would look at lot Better on a Neon Colour so I will be retrying this out at some point, I really like that pattern though! I will do a post about my Birthday goodies soon!  

Peace and Love, Z .\/..

Birthday Mini Haul: Barry M & Shany Stamping

So here is what I got for my 21st Birthday which was last week, I have a quick mani that I am posting on Thursday as well...

From left to right:

Barry M - Mint Green/ Strawberry I/C /Berry I/C

Shany Stamping Nail Art kit SH Image Plates-02

Looking forward to reviewing the Shany Stamping Kit as there's loads of different Patterns, very Impressed with it so far!

And loving my Pastel Barry M's always great for Spring, will be interesting to see how the Strawberry I/c applies as I always find baby pinks a bit flakey so will let you know very soon...

I will post pictures of the Shany Collection over the next couple of weeks x

Peace and Love, Z .\/..

Barry M Silk - Mist Review & Shany Cosmetics SH01 Plate

So my blogger has been playing me up, so the next few posts will be out of sequence.

Anyway this is the Barry M Silk - Mist.

I really like blue's and as far this goes it is beautiful and rich? in a weird sort of way, I'm not sure how a baby blue can be rich, but it is it's Elegant...

 

Essentially it is a Matte Metallic, I don't have many (if any) metallic in my collection so haven't played around using a Matte top coat, but I think this is Worth a Purchase on colour alone.

My only problems with it would be Application, this is the second time painting it, and if I was going out out I would probably have waited to put a third coat on top as it is still a bit patchy in places...

and below is a picture of some me having a quick mess around with Shany cosmetics SH01 plate...

My 3 Month Polish Buying Ban is Finally Over...

So I went to my nearest Superdrug, which is only tiny, and saw the new Barry M Silks, ding! Purchased Mist right there and then, next on my list was a red, all the reds in my current collection are getting on a bit to say the least...

I think that this Rasberry is a touch darker than what I was looking for but I will wait to swatch it before I make the finally cut... I have also ordered something from Avon...

Loving Nails - Stamping with Bundle Monster BM11♡

Going out for my mums Birthday dinner I wanted something fairly sophisticated but cutsie so...

For the sophisticated touch I opted for a Red from No.7 and then choose this really cute design out of my Bundle Monster pack Plate BM11 for 2 accent nails. I then did a Barry M Red Glitter topcoat on the other nails...

I think I have finally got better at stamping Although one or two nails might be a bit dodgey... but I think I was actually pressing the stamping rubber down to hard on the plate so it was squishing the polish out rather than picking it up!

I've been a bit busier recently with various projects non nail related but I am hoping to do more short but sweet posts like this, showing you stamping plates and giving you ideas.

Hope you're well.

Peace and Love Z .\/..

Monday Mani - Thought it was Wednesday

This picture doesn't do my mani any justice, it's lovely and happy and just what you need at the start of a busy week.

So not with it I was about to label this mid-week mani!

Read on to find out what I've used...

Flying rats ♡

I know I've mentioned my lack of inspiration recently, but I got some this morning from the lovely pigeons!

The detail is a little off but I think you can get the jist.

I used grey miss sporty gloss, Barry M grey, born pretty holo and rio pro detail pen.

How's it look?

Peace and love the Pink_PrincessZ xxx

I fell off the horse...

Not a Real Horse the Blogging Horse, between working,  living and partying (with not so polished pinkies) I have just not had the time,  the dedication or motivation.

To be honest it's been so long no one's probably going to read this post.

Anyway one of my techniques to get back on the horse is to come up with a design for each nail art gem I have. And tonight was Pearls, Matthew!

So pretty simple design, not sure whether it would of looked better in a straight line down the middle,  probably, oh heignseight!

The gems were from a topshop gem wheel and I used Barry M Cosmo Berry as the base and a clear top coat.

What do you guys do with these pearls?  Post me links to your manis or inspire me!

Lots of love && peace ♡

My weekend mani!

Just did this quickly to cheer myself up, I'm going to do it next time I go out on falsies, with a proper glitter gradient.

Hope you like!

Peace and love xx

What's New Pussy Cat

So part of my Christmas haul was cool bits of 3d art so today I thought I'd use the putty tat, one oc my other bits was a Rio professional kit which I have used for the detail.
My right hand is fairly attrocious!
What do you think?
Peace and love xx

Barry M - Superdrug LDE Pink Sparkles Swatch.

To begin with I had been using this as a top coat/ over coat.

Don't bother.

The more you layer it up by itself the prettier it look!

 

 

I have taken a deliberately out of focus picture as the holo shows up much more!

 

 

Slightly obsessed with it because it's soooo sparkly, had quite a few compliments on these bad boys!

 

Peace and Love xx

Under the Sea.... Where it's just you and.... Barry M Teal - Review!

Ahhh I love this Teal from Barry M, sort of reminds me of Ariel from Little Mermaid.

 

 

This was after 2 coats, using Konad White Special Polish and my MoYou plate.

 

Review of Barry M Grey - Seriously Underrated

Grey is such an Underrated Colour, so it's not the most fun or the most Barbie etc. but it's great for this time of year - even if it's just for the nail art detail. It's dark but soft and fairly neutral.

 

The first coat was a lot Less Patchy than the other Barry M's I picked up this weekend, but everything looks better with 2 coats...

Barry M Swatch - Cosmo Berry - Mmmmm....

Before you say anything... I know I need a Light Box, I have asked for one for Christmas, only like 54 days to go or something.

 

Anyway this is Barry M Cosmo Berry 1 layer:

This first layer was a bit patchy after using the thick Essie Brushes it was weird to use a thinner brush!
