Blue & Gold Square Design

Hey! This isn't going to be a tutorial as the nail design is created pretty simply with the use of striping tapes. So, I thought I would just share with you some pictures of the design and what nail polishes I used to create it :)

I used two Models Own HyperGel polishes in the colours Inky Blue and Blue Glint. Models Own HyperGel Blue Glint is actually my favourite Models Own colour and I am constantly wearing it as the HyperGel Range looks so great on and actually dry really quickly which was very unexpected when I first used them!

This design was inspired by a patchwork jeans sort of look (if that makes sense!) and then I added the gold tape as they looked a bit bare and needed some bling! I hope you like this design and it has inspired you to try the Models Own HyperGel Range!

Galaxy Nails using Barry M Glitterati Range

This is my simple tutorial for Galaxy Nails using the Barry M Glitterati Range :) Enjoy!

Firstly I'd like to start by saying that I highly recommend the Barry M Glitterati range as I think the colours are amazing and they're best worn over a base coat which is a similar colour, rather than worn on their own, as it really makes them stand out.



You will need Barry M Navy, Barry M Socialite, Barry M Catwalk Queen, Barry M Fashion Icon, Barry M Rockstar and a make up sponge.

Firstly paint your nails with a clear base coat followed by one coat of Barry M Navy.

   Then paint splodges of Barry M Fashon Icon on the centre of the nail and dab with a sponge. 

Then paint splodges of Barry M Catwalk Queen on either side of the nail and dab with a sponge.

Paint splodges of Barry M Rockstar all over the nails and then dab with a sponge. 

 Finally paint splodges of Barry M Socialite on the centre of the nail and dab with a sponge.

Leave to dry and then paint all nails with a clear top coat.
