Mint Paisley Print

Yesterday, after reading lots of good reviews, I got myself a Barry M white nail pen. Usually I use the models ownXwah! ones, while they are great, especially for striping (read it again..) This Barry M is much easier to use in my opinion. It gives out a consistent colour without any splodges.

I kept coming across this design on various blogs and thought it was really purdy and perfect for spring (the one we are not having). For the base I used 2 coats of Barry M 'mint green' and then finished with a top coat of Bourgois SO Matt.

I mostly followed this guide from Company but added dots to fill in the gaps as I found it looked a bit bare.

The Great Gatsby

Unless they decided to delay it again I am finally going to see The Great Gatsby on friday! I'm so so excited. I studied it last year and I absolutely love the book, Baz Luhrmann, Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, the Art Deco movement in general and the soundtrack. So I reckon I might like this film.

So The Great Gatsby is all to do with excess and opulence and Baz has fittingly chosen black & gold as a motif in the film, I used these to do a mix & match nail set.

 How amazing is that? Ahhhhhhhh. Must refrain from doing this in the cinema...

Minty Dotty Leopard

Leopard print is just about the easiest nail art design to do, so obviously its a favourite of mine. This time though I added white into the middle of the spots for a bit more of a lighter summery-er look.

Technology please make these a thing. I vaaaant dem.
