Marc Jacobs Daisy

Hey everyone,

I decided to create this mani while I was brushing my teeth! Strange I know but my mum's dark blue dressing gown was hanging on the door and there's a bottle of Daisy on the counter top and hey presto! Here's the pic


I started with a base coat and did 2 coats of Rimmel London - Aye Aye Sailor on each nail.

Then I used Sinful Colors - Snow Me White to do the petals of the daisies, and Barry M's gold foil which I don't know the name of to do the centres. (All with a dotting tool).


I let that dry a little then applied a coat of Seche Vite, followed by a coat of Essie - Matte About You (which you'll be seeing more of because I'm obsessed with it).

Hope you like it! Let me know what you think in the comments

Cath Kidston Inspired

Hey everyone,

I'm sorry It's been so long since I last posted. I've had mega car trouble which started with a busted head gasket, and ended with £700 disappearing from my hard earned savings :(
Put it this way.... I never want to use public transport again my life! 

So here's a mani which was inspired by the beautiful designs of Cath Kidston.


I started with a base, then did 2 coats of Sinful Colors - Easy Going. I then applied a coat of Seche to make it dry nice and quickly. I used striping tape to mask off horizontal lines and did one coat of Sinful Colors - Snow Me White, before peeling back the tape while the polish was still wet. 


I waited for that to dry then freehanded the roses with the following 3 Barry M polishes.....

Strawberry Ice Cream (pale)
SLE 2013 (fluorescent limited edition)
Grapefruit (Gelly) 

And for the leaves I used Barry M Gelly - Key Lime which is from the new summer range.

On my ring finger I used Models Own -Snowflakes which is a stunning flaky glitter but required a bit of placement!

I applied a single coat of Seche Vite, followed by a coat of Essie - Matte About You.

I've got another post lined up for you in a day or 2 which will also include a review of Butter London - Melt Away Cuticle Eliminator
