Hey
there lovely readers!
If
you caught my last post, I recently added a few of the new Barry M
releases to my collection including the Limited Edition Lolly Gloss
Paints in Pink Candy and Purple Pop. You can see swatches of these
sweet juicy jelly shades HERE.
These
polishes are sheer formulas therefore perfect for a bit of nail art
experimentation! You can smoosh all the jellies together to create a
marbled effect, apply on top of another shade to create a whole new
one, dab on to silver or white for a watercolour rainbow look, similar to what
I've done HERE. I decided to do a stained glass type effect using the
Lolly Gloss on top of silver & glitter & this is what I came
up with...
Instead
of going over the whole nail I decided to just add the pop of colour
in the centre in a swirl down the nail.
For
my base to really make the Lolly Paints pop I used not just silver
but also a holographic glitter for extra sparkle!
To
create the design I've done a simple step by step tutorial for you so
you can recreate these too...
Start
with your silver base, here I've applied one coat of Sonia Kashuk
Smoke and Mirrors.
Next
apply your holo glitter, the one I've used here is by Color Club &
contains a rainbow of macroglitter that really makes the silver go
disco!
This
was an additional step that you can skip but being the glitter fiend
that I am I couldn't resist adding on a few large hexagonal holo
glitter pieces using Barry M's Hologram
Next
apply the white outline of where you want your stained glass pop of
colour to be, using a nail art pen or some white polish & a thin
brush
Then
using 2 more smaller nail art brushes as the brushes that come with
the polish will be too big/thick,start applying each of the Lolly
Gloss Paints, here I have Pink Candy & Purple Pop, alternating
between the two until you fill in the whole shape.
Don't
worry if the colours merge into each other, you kind of want that to happen
to help create the effect!
Once
done, go over the white outline again, before finishing with a coat
of topcoat & thats it!
Super
sparkly stained glass effect nails! If there had been more shades
available I would have definitely picked up more to create a
multicolored rainbow finish! Hint hint Barry M... ;)
Hope
you liked the design dolls, do let me know if you give these a try or
have created your own designs using these or similar tinted polishes,
I would love to see!
Lotsa love to ya!
