BarrymNailArtPens.A.S.nails

Second post of the week!! (Almost unheard of for us recently)

I just wanted to share my skull nail art design using the fabulous new Barry M nail art pens. I've done this design before but I just love how easy they are to do but also how effective the outcome is. Skulls/skull print is around quite a lot still so thought I'd give them new life - if that's even possible for a skull...!
This time I tried out the Black pen for the first time and used the White again. We are yet to test try the Silver colour but I'm sure it won't be long and we will be sure to show you what we come up with.

These pens are so easy to use. They have great consistency, dry amazingly quickly (no gloopy-ness!) and are a perfect size to hold & grip to keep your hand steady. I just hope that one day they are available in more colours!

As I mentioned in our last post, these beauts are available in Boots, Superdrug and on the Barry M website already. They are priced at £4.99 each and they come in Black, White, Silver & Pink.

ThinkPink.A.S.nails

Happy Thursday everybody!! Didn't you all just LOVE Sophie's nails yesterday?! I did!

Its nearly the weekend...and nearly the start of October!

And October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.
So today I have some pretty pink nails that I will be wearing to raise awareness for this all to familiar cause and letting people know that October isnt all about Halloween. It's the month to THINK PINK!

I've used Barry M's lovely pale pink for the base and their Fushia pink for the detail. I've also added some detail on the middle nails using some silver rhinestones to add an extra girlie touch.

These are to help us remember.

So girls, whether you're raising money, wearing a pink ribbon or trying out this nail art...people (including strangers) will notice, comment and help to raise awareness. Which is a great thing.
Send us your nail designs too!!

Floral.A.S.nails

The weekend is so close...this week has gone a little too slow for my liking but today I have some bright and cheery nails!! Yey!

And these floral nails are easy peasy!!

Simply chose your base colour...I chose Barry M - Lemon.
'Blob' (technical term!) on the colour you want your flowers to be...I chose Barry M - Fushia. These blobs can be any size and shape which is what makes these so great but keep to about 3 per nail.
Next, using green, draw on your leaves. (I used Rio nail art pens in dark green).
Finally, using a contrasting colour, carefully draw the detail in your flower - I chose Kiss nail paint in Lilac.

And there you have it...

I would definitely recommend trying this simple design and we'd love to see what colours you come up with.

Have a lovely weekend everyone :)

Tennis.A.S.nails

Aaaaaand relax....its Friday!! The weekend is (almost) here! And not a moment too soon in my opinion!!

So. I couldn't let the Wimbledon season slip by without dedicating a nail design to it.
Plus I heard last night that Serena Williams does her own nail art too!! Amazing!

This is a mix 'n match of all things tennis!
For the mini rackets and the court I used Barry M mint green for the base/grass and Rio nail pens for the details. The layered tennis balls on my thumb and single ball on my ring finger are Tantrum's nail paint in lime green and Rio for the detail. And in the middle for half time, using Rio again, we have some juicy layered strawbs!!

Anyone else tried Wimbledon nails yet? Send them (or any other designs) to us at cute.as.nails1@gmail.com and they could be chosen as our Nails of the Week! (Coming soon...)

Hope you love these!! (But not as in the tennis score 'love' because that is zero..) And have a lovely weekend!!
