Fancy Grey Wallpaper // Grey and White Baroque Nail Art

Can this post be considered a throwback? I did them about two months and just never got round to posting them. I decided to put them up though so I can start scheduling again as I really fell behind on nail art. 

These were super quick and basically I only did them because I wanted to try out the new plate that had arrived in the post because I loved the designs on them.

I feel like they're missing something though. Like the background needed to be holo in some way or they should have been double stamped. Who knows. I also hate how my ring finger is looking in these photos. It's really weird but when my nails get to long they start to curve inwards like crazy when they have polish on them. It's one of the reasons I don't grow them out to long now because it just looks weird.

Polishes/Tools Used:-
- Cuccio Colour // I Wonder Where (light grey)

- Born Pretty Stamping Polish // #4 (white)

- Nicole Diary Stamping Plate // ND-033

Antique Arabesque // Gold & Burgundy Moroccan Style Print

As we're now firmly heading into winter (sigh), I'm trying my best to put the pastels down and pick up some more winter appropriate shades; but it's hard. I just love pastel too much. However, I recently picked up one of the new Barry M Molten Metal shades (I love that range so much) and I just had to pair it with some gold baroque prints for a mani to rival your Nan's fanciest curtains.

I then stuck a matte top coat on top because why not and the end result is one of my favourite mani's ever. Who knew a matte top coat could transform a design into something else completely? It's not completely shine-less, it's more of a silk effect but it's making me stick a matte top coat on everything now. 

I desperately need to pick up the XL version of the arabesque plate though as you can see these one didn't quite fit my nail. I did a bit of stamping trickery on my thumb to get an all over print but some of the designs can't be split.

- Barry M Molten Metal // Antique Gold (burgundy with gold flecks)
