Leopard Print & Half Moons - Nail Art

Here is my nail art post that was supposed to go up yesterday but then I fell asleep! Whoops!

I was inspired by this Pin I have on my Nail Inspiration Board on Pinterest.

Unfortunately after spending most of the morning and the afternoon up until now searching I cannot find where the original image came from to link back to, so if anyone knows please let me know so I can add the link.

*Edited to add link - HERE*

For these I started with two coats of Barry M Black on the Thumb, Middle and Ring fingers and two coats of OPI Skull & Glossbones on the Index and Pinky. I then free handed the half moons with Barry M Black and used  Models Own Bronze Rage and Barry M Black again for the leopard print. I added the Swarovski Crystals (HERE) on to a wet layer of China Glaze No Chip Top Coat and then finished the all black nails with a coat of Seche Vite. I didn't topcoat over the crystals as I didn't want them to lose their sparkle but they are still going strong 24hrs later!

Polish Days - Sentimental

It's Polish Days time again and this months theme was Sentimental.

This one was easy for me. It could only be Nails Inc Montrose Place.

It is a gorgeous, blue toned, iridescent hot pink with a blue/purple flash.

I picked this polish for three reasons.

1. This is one of the first Nails Inc polishes I bought. I bought it in a pack of four from TKMaxx and it sparked the beginning of my nail polish obsession.

2. I wore this polish to my first dress fitting for my wedding dress. I remember standing very still in my dress chatting to the shop assistant about my nail polish, whilst the seamstress pulled and pinned. 

3. It was also the polish I wore for my Hen Do.

I didn't want to just do a plain swatch so I added some rhinestones and a peony accent nail as they were the main flower in my wedding bouquet, and as the polish brings back some happy wedding planning memories I thought it would be quite fitting.

The polishes used on the ring finger were - 

Barry M Matt White.

Barry M Shocking Pink mixed with Matt White for the various shades of pink.
