Antique Nail Art

I am going to burn myself out like crazy this month, I’m doing two nail challenges…! (What was I thinking?!). Today I am showing you these antique-inspired nails as part of the ‘Three Nail Challenge‘, devised by the lovely ladies at Mateji Ustvarjata. The basic idea behind this challenge is that there are three themes: time, favourites and adjectives. We must create a look, based on the theme of the day, once every four days (see the blog post linked above for more details!). As you can tell, I missed the first theme, ‘antique’, but since it’s not quite time for the next design I guess it’s okay… sorry ladies!

Brush Marbling – Blues

You may very well have heard about water marbling (a nail art technique where you use water to create a swirly pattern in nail polish to transfer to your nails – Google it for more info!), and this “brush marbling” came about through experimentation with a tiny nail art brush just before I removed Barielle Berry Blue.

Purple Dotted Nail Art

Little bit of simple nail art for you today! I will start this post by stating that I was inspired by a purple dotted manicure  on the Nail Polish Wars blog. It popped up on Pinterest and I couldn’t resist putting my own spin on it.

Barry M Cosmic Glow – Magnetic Green Sparkle

Today I am showing you the fourth of five Barry M Magnetic polishes released this month: Barry M Venus Sunset/Magnetic Sparkle Red,Barry M Neptune Sea/Magnetic Sparkle Blue, Barry M Moon Dust/Magnetic Sparkle Gold, Barry M Cosmic Glow/Magnetic Green Sparkle, and Barry M Super Nova/Magnetic Sparkle Multi.

Cosmic Glow is a little different from the first three, in that the colour is solid (as opposed to silver and gunmetal polish with coloured shimmer). It also contains holographic microglitter which is very pretty!
