Shades: Matte

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

Fridail: OPI Beach Sandies!

Happy Wednesday  Friday everybody! Where did the time go!? Anyway, we'll dive straight in with the post! I apologise in advance for the iPhone-quality of images, I'm still looking for some batteries that my camera won't complain about. Today I'm covering OPI's Beach Sandies from the Brazil collection, which is a little quartet of mini liquid sand polishes. Can I just say here, if anyone high up in the chain of OPI reads this (which is unlikely, but if you do then HI!), please please pleeeeease make these in full-sized bottles? Please! So... This is the box, and the four that you get (I swatched super quickly over each, so do excuse that)

LiL Challenge: Floral

Hello! Today's prompt for Life in Lacquer's July Nail Art Challenge is Floral! My initial reaction to this was "urgh. Great, I hate flowers." but then I found some really pretty designs around the internet and my spirits were lifted a little! (I really am crazy-impressed by a lot of these mind, they're so detailed and delicate and pretty)
