Shades: Matte

By
Oh no... the World's going crazy... I have pink nails... again. o.O (Dun dun duuun)
I do also have blue on though... so it's kinda contradictory (I hope!)
Anyway, I wanted to see what would happen to Barry M Denim Polish with a matte coat, so that is what I did! :) And it's very pretty! :D The polish itself dries quite matte-effect anyway, but the little glitter pieces still shimmer through quite a bit. Adding a matte-coat on top makes it even more like jean-denim!



The pink colour used is Barry M Gelly in Pomegranate :) Matte-coating the Gelly polishes just makes the colours even more vibrant and amazing than before, probably because you're getting less light-reflection, and more colour! It's amazing, so definitely experiment with it if you have any Gelly polishes at home :)

So anyway, here is some jazzy jazzy pictures for you!





As you can see, the denim does still give a little bit of a shimmer, and the gelly does still give a little bit of a shine, depending on the light :)
I did each hand a different general colour, with a highlight ring finger in the colour of the opposite hand :) I actually liked them being all mis-matchy too, so expect to see more of that in the future from me!

Hope you like the matte-shade day then :) Tell me your thoughts and your own matte-designs in the comments below! :D

May Nails Round-Up!

By
Hey everyone! It's officially the 1st June- yay! That also means that it's the end of my exams (though good luck to anyone who is still cursed with them) and therefore the end of my first year at Uni, which is a little scary and quite a bit 'yippeeee'. It's had ups and downs but I made it to the end, which is the most important thing, right? Aaaaanyway... Since May is over this calls for a round-up of May nails I do believe! There's 9 manis to gawk at today, so I hope you like them and I look forward to seeing June's roundup already.

Swatch Watch: ILNP Masquerade

By
Welcome back! As promised, I have yet another swatch from ILNP to share with you today! I also realised that I should do my daily life spiel at the end of my posts so you don't end up reading an essay about my boring 'lil life and can skip straight to the good, juicy polishes. Speaking of juicy polishes... Just look at the reflection on this beauty. So. Wonderful.  And the colours! So many colours!! (Like Joseph's Technicolour Dreamcoat, this polish has two coats of many colours #musicalnerd).  Now we must note that it is not quite the "many colours" which can be found in the holo polishes, especially as they literally reflect rainbows of magic, but in this polish alone you can see a lime-green, gold, orange, purple, reddish-purple/burgundy (whatever you wanna call it), a dark-ish blue and some hues in between. The three images below show this transition, followed by this polish's wonderful Fact File! Fact File: Brand:  I Lov...
