Sunday Experiments: Messy Mattifying & Saran

OK my lovelies if you read the blog you'll see that I picked up Essie Matte About You last week so to day was really messing around with that and seeing what I could get it to do.

 

I first tried it on over my manicure for this week which I think looks hot (apart from the bodged bit), its one of the Autumm designs!... Anyway I also tried out some patters with the Matte about you... read on if you're interested:

11th August - Sunday Experiments; Dotting, Gradients & Glitter!

Ok I really need to calm down on a Sunday, I just love messing about getting down and dirty with my nails polishes ;) haha! I have done three experiments today for your amusement. (I have also tried to take better piccies for you guys!)

1) So last Thursday...? I posted my first Barbie on a Budget article and I gave people alternatives to  Dotting Pens so I thought I may as well prove my point...

No.1 - Bumble Bee Summer Nail Art Design

This year I have enrolled on a bee keeping course, which was the inspiration for this design. Originally the white tips were meant to be caviar but I have currently misplaced my Nail Rock Caviar, and will probably have to replace it. With out the caviar it's not to in your face and you could wear it to work...

4th August - Sunday Experiments - Barry M Confetti, Sequins & Wild Flower Printing

You are being Spoilt this weekend. Sorry for the length of this blog post, I just have so many Pictures to show you! Read more for reviews, mix and matching and flower printing, I really went to town with it haha...

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 .\/..
