PinkPaisley.A.S.nails

We wanted let you know that we will soon be reviewing the wonderful new Barry M summer releases which include:

The Hi Shine Gelly polishes in 5 new exotic fruit inspired colours
Five new Nail Effect polishes which give Confetti sprinkle effects
And 3 new Sequin Effect polishes too...

So exciting!


But for this evening I wanted to share my current nails. More paisley nails but this time in Pink and White.

I'm still loving the Barry M Nail Art Pens so what else would I use for these!

So cute and easy to do.




Stay tuned for our Barry M reviews later this week...

CathKidstonInspired.A.S.nails

Hey hey!! This is the first of two blog post/reviews for the new, eagerly awaited Barry M Nail Art Pens!!

I first heard rumors of these pens a few months ago and felt very excited - our favorite brand, doing a nail art pen = a dream for us!
Then a couple of weeks ago a parcel full of the new summer launch Barry M goodies arrived, including these fab new nail art pens in 4 different colours! Lucky Sophie & I!!
And it can be lucky you too! These babies are out in Superdrug and on the Barry M website already. And they are also able in Boots stores tomorrow (17th April)!!
They are priced at £4.99 each and they come in Black, White, Silver & Pink.
They have a fine tip (a little like a felt tip pen) meaning they are so easy to use on the nail. On the first use just remember to pump the tip until the colour starts to flow. They dry very quickly, i had no problems with smudging or running. & with a clear top coat over the design, they last on the nail for ages! I think they're brilliant!!

You can see below what I came up with using the Pink & White pens and look out for my second post using the Silver & Black too.

This floral design is to celebrate the Spring and the sun finally peeping its head through the clouds lately!
I've named them Cath Kidston nails, mainly because we've used the name 'floral' before but also because that is where my inspiration came from. I think they are lovely and subtle but also so very easy to do! With a little help from my Barry M nail art pens of course :)

SnowySnowman.A.S.Nails

They say great minds think alike.... So when Alice told me yesterday to check out her newest post after seeing a picture of todays planned post I could only smile and give a little giggle at the fact we had come up with the same idea for the same week! So here are my Snowman nails...

For these I used slightly different colours, the base being Barry M Blue Moon (2 thick coats of this). Then for my lovely Snowman I used my Models Own nail art pens. The snow has also got little hints of Barry M silver foil effect in it!

I hope you're all starting to feel a bit more Christmassy! I'm hoping for snow so I can build my own Snowman... Just like last year (see picture below!).

CrimboJumper.A.S.nails

I cant believe its December already!! I don't know about everybody else but I haven't even started Christmas shopping yet! Oops.
But I'm definitely getting excited and feeling festive. And this is my first nail art Christmas post.

These are my take on a cheesy Christmas jumper with a fairisle print. I used Essie for the white and a nail art pen in red for the print detail. I used a polish from Barry M's glitter range - Rose Quartz Glitter. I love it! With this you could try one coat over another colour or, like I did, about 3 coats to get it super sparkly! It's so pretty, the photo doesn't really do it justice.
(The bauble is from my lovely tree!)

Have a great evening!

Penguins.A.S.nails

Hello to you all!

Today i have some super cute penguin nails with a cheeky polar bear on the thumb! Im not sure whether polar bears are meant to eat penguins but on my nails they're all friends! I've only done two penguins as they mate for life. These are penguins in love <3

To do these i used Barry M Blue Moon (2 thick coats as its quite pale) and then Models Own Snow White for all of the white parts and black and yellow art pens for the details.

These are easy to do and look super cute! On the other hand i did white spots which could be seen as snow.

We would love to see your nails so please send them to cute.as.nails1@gmail.com for your chance to be our nails of the week!!

Enjoy your day!
