Pastel tuesdays

Iphone camera pictures only. 

I keep seeing pastel ombre nails online and they are my favourite! I was hoping mine to be the same but unfortunately these aren't my favourite.

I used: Sally Hansen nail strengthener for the base (didn't have OPI with me) OPI - My boyfriend scales walls, Barry M - Berry ice cream, Essie - Mint Candy Apple, Essie - Fiji and Sally Hansen - UV top coat.

I really like the idea here but it just didn't turn out right for me. 

First, bubbles!! Why the bubbles?! My white OPI never does this, I'm thinking it's because I let them dry in the sun for about an hour, could this be why? 

I'm not sure on the colours used, I did set out to use a fourth colour but it didn't come out too good so I stuck to the three. 

I'm not usually a Barry M fan, I only have a few of their polishes but it works really well on the ombre, shows up well on white so I liked it for this.

The next time I try this - which will be in the next month I expect. I want to get a pastel yellow, test out the colours more and maybe add some studs to it.

I didn't have my Nikon with me today so these pictures will have to do, which isn't too upsetting because the bubbles aren't too much on show!

I won't be posting for a few days because I have an exam friday but will be back shortly!

Ombre day

I still power through my inability to do ombre like all the nail guru's. 
I used: Essie - Fifth Avenue, Sally Hansen - Man-go Team, Sally Hansen top coat and striping tape. 

Not really sure where this mani came from. I was guna do a girly pink ombre but I've already done that so wanted to try something a little different. And then the tape just happened after a few hours of getting bored of just the plain ombre.
I didn't realise the colour missing on my thumb until I was editing :( 

I quite like these colours and I do always love the effect of the ombre, so I will keep soldiering on until perfect. 
Water marble practice this week!


My cat is making this photobombing thing regular.
