Bloom And Doom Nails - Freehand Skull Manicure

Allo polish Pals!

How are you doing today? Today's manicure is an odd one... A little bit of bloom and life with a bit of doom and gloom – None the less I am quite happy with how it turned out. I added a progress picture on *Instagram*, I had only done the skulls at this point and I was quite pleased with them; I did however like them less once they were outlined... Ah well! Here's a fairly rock and roll manicure!

For this manicure I used only one polish, Barry M's 'Heather' from the silk collection in two coats. I had a lovely smooth base to begin painting with. Everything else was created with acrylic paints and my beloved bamboo brush.

What do you think of my skull and flower manicure? Have you had skull nails before?

Have a beautiful day,

Love

Kinda Paisley Freehand Design.

Allo polish Pals!

How are you today? Today we are off to visit Mr Bravo's Nan which is always nice. I help out by cleaning and doing any odd chores she needs. We always have a yummy meal and leave feeling very full! Oh, and she always remembers that I like wine! Today I have a freehand design for you, I didn't use a specific pattern for this manicure but its loosely based on the paisley design. 

I started by using two coats of Barry M's 'Truffle' and created everything else using my Bamboo detailing brush and a dotting tool. I used Oumaxi acrylic paints for this design. There's not really much else to tell you about with this design.

What do you think of my 'kinda paisley' manicure? Have you worn a paisley design before?

Have a beautiful day!

Heavenly Holo With Subtle Stamping

Allo polish Pals!

I hope you are feeling rested and well after the weekend? I have another question for you; Do you ever create a manicure and really really love it? You feel proud of the end result....Until you look at your pictures. Then you begin to doubt the idea behind the manicure and completely change your mind about loving it? I have one of those. I was quite pleased with how this manicure looked on the nails but seeing the pictures has made me hate it. Ah well, you guys can decide what you think about it.

I used three polishes for this design, Color Club's Cloud Nine, Barry M's 'Silk' and 'Heather'. I used Nail Craze stamping plate 02 for a very subtle effect. I added these crosses that I had been wanting to use for quite some time. I'm not sure it 'fits' the look but hmm... I also thought I did a good job at the clean up – until after I saw the pictures. Apologies for the mess.

What do you think of this manicure? Love it or hate it, like I do?

Have a great day!

Love
