Neutral Triangle Half Moons

Hope you guys are enjoying the summer sunshine wherever you are, Scotland's being generous and we've had more than one day of sun, must be all this global warming, right? ;) 

I was craving some nude colours and fancied using Utopia or Lychee, I also found some striping tape so I decided to do a triangle half moon jobbie. All I did was lay two pieces of tape in a cross shape on my nail and filled in one of the triangles with Lychee over the base of Utopia. IT looked a tad empty so I dotted some Lilacism within the lychee triangle.

Indecisive Multicoloured Patterns

Sup guys! Got a simple nail art post here, nothing too drastic/complicated as I'm still enjoying not studying for once and stuffs still kind of messy at home.

Anyways, I was indecisive between drips and stripey blocky things, and also what colour to do them in. The only thing I was decided on was the base colour, Barry M Gelly: Lychee, the colours are all the pens from the Models Own Wah Nails nail art pen collection. 







As you can see they're nothing too thrilling or fancy. I miss doing designs like I used to do such as the first pacman nails I did or the Pokemon ones, the more complicated wow-inducing ounces. Hopefully I'll get to do them again soon, it's a bit hard living I'm between houses as I don't get to have all my polishes in front of me :(

Swatched! Barry M Gelly Lychee & Models Own Southern Lights

As you can tell I'm getting the hang of this iphone/instagram/app malarky and I'm getting a bit swishy with the old effects #hipster ;)

This post is swatches of Barry M in Lychee from the Gelly collection and Models Own in SOuthern Lights form the Wonderland collection. I've tried to use a filter that didn't effect the colours of the polish too much.


Eeek need to clean up a bit better!

Lychee is a lovely nudey beigey creamy colour that's a bit more beige toned than Models Own Utopia. It's opaque in two coats, and could probably be opaque in one coat tbh. Over the ring finger I painted 2 coats of Southern Lights, which is a purple fine glitter polish with little bits of holo glitter that you can see being reflected. It's absolutely gorgeous and want to paint my room in it haha. Southern lights gives apretty decent coverage in 2 coats, although might need 3 or 4 to completely cover a bare nail if you want to wear it on its own.

50 Shades Of Beige

This design did not turn out what I wanted it to be. I wanted to do the triangle mani, with Models Own Utopia as the base, and Modles Own Nude Beige as the triangle and then do a dot of Barry M Lychee in the centre of the triangle. However, my taping skills were not up to scratch for some reason, and after the 3rd attempt to do the triangles, so I just did htis weird semi-skittle single dot thingy -_- I would've just kept it at the semi-skittle but I liekd the play of words for the title, soooo yeah :p


This is with 2 coats of Utopia and Nude Beige, one dot of Lychee and a topcoat of Seche Vite!
