Purple & grey holo double stamp mani nail art


Today I wanted to show off this purple and silver glittery holographic mani! This was my first attempt at double stamping and I'm pretty pleased with how this came out.

 To create this I used:
  • Barry M nail paint in Fasion Icon
  • Barry M Frosted Cupcakes nail paint in Earl Grey
  • Nailfun Super Lack polish in White
  • Born Pretty Holographic stamping polish in #5
  • Born Pretty No-Smudge Top Coat
  • Clear stamper
  • Biutee JQ-46 stamping plate


As always I started with a basecoat, followed by 3 coats of Fashion Icon on my index and pinkie fingers. The photos don't show it super well but this polish is gorgeous with flecks of holo glitters. I then added two coats of Earl Grey to the rest of my fingers.

 I chose to use the dandelion looking image on the JQ-46 plate. First I stamped the image in white, and then I went back over it using the Born Pretty polish. I've seen YaGala and Sveta Sanders (and a number of others...) use this technique and honestly I love how it looks. In my opinion this took the mani to the next level.
I'd had a rough day at work and my cuticles were clearly feeling it...
I then just finished the mani off with the Born Pretty No-Smudge top coat. Guys, this is a LIFESAVER. I normally use top coats by Barry M, and I do love them, but I have to be so careful applying it over stamping designs otherwise it smears them to death. I am so glad I purchased this top coat - I got mine from Amazon but I have just checked and it appears to be out of stock there, although you can also buy it from here. 
With flash so you can see a peek of the holo glitters
That's it for this mani. I feel like this is one of those that is pretty easy to do (I also did the same design on my right hand but didn't take any pictures of it because I am dumb) but looks far more complicated than it is! 

 As always if you liked this design please check back for more. You can also follow my Instagram here.

Barry M Under The Sea Collection Review and Swatches

I'm a little later than I wanted to be in getting this out but I've been dealing with some life things over the past few weeks and I have been going through the process of adopting a cat! I've also felt a little unmotivated and just plain low over the past couple of weeks which hasn't helped. Nevertheless, on to the main point of this post: Barry M's Under The Sea nail paints! You can get these direct from  Barry M  or from your local Superdrug. They're £3.99 each (pretty standard for Barry M polishes), although I snagged mine in a 2 for £7 deal at Superdrug. As is suggested by the name, these shades are inspired by sea creatures, particularly mermaids. The bottle caps all have cute little fish decals which makes them stand out from the standard bottles. The collection has four duochrome shades: Angelfish, Butterflyfish, Jellyfish and Pinktail. Angelfish First up we have Angelfish. This is a gorgeous pale pink with a white shift, and the most sub...

Instagram Nail Art Challenge (Glam Nails): March Edition

Okay so I have been a little bit... not around on this blog for a while (again) thanks to finally adopting my cat! His name is Billy and he's an absolute sweetheart when he's not throwing the cat litter everywhere except the litter tray. As you would expect a lot of my time has been taken up dealing with him, and as such I've just been too tired to do my nails and write about it. Anyway, today I wanted to share with you a nail art challenge on Instagram I recently took part it. It's called the Glam Nails Challenge and is a series of prompts that you follow each month. Its feature account is  @glamnailschallenge , which is run by the lovely Bianka at  @nbnailart  (definitely check her out; her work is awesome!). The challenge uses the hashtag #glamnailschallenge followed by whatever month it is e.g. March was #glamnailschallengemarch. March was the first month I took part (my first ever challenge actually) and I absolutely loved it! Below is the list of prompts for e...
