Happy Friday!
 
I did these nails last weekend for a night out.  I originally wanted to use black and gold over a nude base, but ended up just using gold, and I'm so pleased with how it turned out!
 
 

(I'm afraid this is the best picture I could manage. Meh).
 
I started off with three coats of Ciaté My Fair Lady. On my pinkie I added a row of studs from the Born Pretty store. On my ring finger I added a coat of Nails Inc Fleet Street (HOW gorgeous?!). On my middle finger I added a stamp using Barry M Gold Foil and a stamping plate from the Born Pretty store (m57). I actually stamped the same image twice, back to back, which worked quite well except I didn't let my base dry enough and dented it :/ And finally on my pointer finger I used the cling film technique, again with Barry M Gold Foil.
 
I've never worn a skittle mani before and I really loved wearing this!

Barry M Mint Green and Aqua Glitter

 
Hello :)
 
Glittery nails today yayyy!  For this look I started off with two coats of Barry M Mint Green.  Then using a striping brush I added random segments of Barry M Aqua Glitter. 
 
 

 
I finished off with some silver striping tape and a coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast.
 
Simple but quite effective I think!

Roses are red...

 
Hi! It's nearly the weekend, yay! 
 
 
Today's nails are rather unseasonal, but what the hell.  Thought I'd mix it up a bit!
 
I started out with two coats of an unnamed Nails Inc polish (it came with a magazine an age ago) and added some flowers with a dotting tool.
 



For the middle of the flowers I used China Glaze Electric Pineapple.  The other colours are :
China Glaze Papaya Punch
Barry M Raspberry
Revlon Sweet Tart
MUA shade 1
