31 Day Nail Challenge - Day 14 - Delicate Print

I originally wanted to do lace nails for Day 14 but every time I tried I ended up taking them off and starting over. I just couldn't get them how I wanted and if I'm going to do lace nails I'm going to do it right so I decided to give that one a bit more practice.
But that left me with no ideas for Day 14, until I spotted THIS lace/henna style design on Pinterest. It's another Robin Moses design that I fell in love with, the video is HERE.






As you can see I didn't follow her video completely, just took a few bits that I really liked from it and added random bits of my own pattern. Also I didn't use pink foil because I don't have any (yet). 
I did toy with the idea of using pink glitter instead but decided it wouldn't give anywhere near the same effect so I just used some small diamantes.
I really like this henna look, it doesn't have to be perfect to look good either. Next time I want to try THIS one!

The polishes used are - 
Base - Barry M Nude.
Pattern - Barry M Mushroom.

Barry M - Nude with a twist!

Before my absence I started to show some of the new Barry M shades that have been released over the last few months.
At the time they had only released Silvery Lilac, Teal, Black Multi Glitter, Denim and Copper, of which I only got as far as showing Silvery Lilac and Teal.
The busy little Barry M bees have now released loads more that I have slowly been hunting down and buying.

Today I wanted to show you Nude.
But Nude on it's own, although a lovely nude, was a bit boring.
So I added some glitter.
Then put another coat of Nude over that!




Nude is just what it says it is, nude!
It is such a perfect my nails but better shade.
It is sheer, I am wearing two coats of Nude followed by one coat of the Silver Glitter polish then another coat of Nude in the photos and you can still see the nail line, but I personally like a sheer nude as it looks more natural.
The application was great as you would expect from Barry M.
The silver glitter I used came from a Studio gift set I got at Christmas.
It's just three different sizes of silver glitter in a clear base and I just used one coat.

I love this look so much!
It's pretty and understated but still catches the eye.
I think it's just right for office to evening.
