Hi there! So its Monday which means a Nails Monday yay! So this week I have used lots of different colour nail polishes and a base coat and top coat. This is because this week I am going to a dinner for my brothers birthday, so I decided to paint on little balloons on each nail with different colours for each nail. I used a Rimmel Base Coat and Top Coat and then for each colour I used a Barry M nail polish and then the outline I used a Nails Inc. nail polish. So now I guess I will tell you how I did this.
So first, I painted my nails with just white colour after applying the boat coat. I used the Barry M Matt White, 66. I love Barry M as I have said in the past. It stays on very well and doesn't chip easily either. If you have read my other nail Mondays you will see how much I use the Barry M nails polishes and as you can see from the picture I have 5 of them.
Then I used my nail tool with I used the brush end for and painted on a circle and then a little triangle as well. For this certain nail I used the Barry M (surprise, surprise) in the colour Blue Grape in 402. For my other nails I used Barry M in the colours Mango in 329, Blood Orange in 347, B in 329 and then a No7 in the colour Blackberry in 60.
Then I used a Nails Inc. in the colour New York Noir. I then outlined the circle and triangle and then did a squiggly line as the balloon string. So I used the brush end again. If you don't have a nail tool, I would highly recommend getting one. You can do so many nail art designs with one, although it does need practice to master/use correctly.
After I had done my thumb nail I went on to do my other nails. After that had been done and dried, I painted on a top coat which is a Rimmel one again. I loved doing this nail art design and for me it was so simple. I loved using all the different colours on my nails because just looking at them I love. So if you are ever stuck with choosing a nail polish brand I would recommend Barry M if you can't afford buying Essie or Nails Inc. or OPI. It is a great alternative from the high end products that not everyone can afford all the time.
So I hope you enjoyed reading this blog post as much as I enjoyed doing my nails. Do you have a favourite nail polish brand? Do you use any of the colours I used today? Do you like this nail art? Do you have any nail art you want me to try?
This is a cute idea for a birthday :-) you must have a steady hand!!!
