I have never been able to do any kind of art, let alone nail art! The pens I have seen have usually had really thin nibs where the ink just pools out. I was supposed to do this post last night but I wasn't happy with what I did so waited today to do some more.
When Barry M announced their pens though I had to at least give them a go.
It was 3 for 2 on Barry M in Superdrug.. I left the black, but may get it in the future. I was really impressed with them. To get it flowing you have to push the nib down a few times, on a piece of paper or something, its the shape of a felt tip but solid, and the polish just comes down the side. It doesn't leak every where or pool out onto your nail. Very simple to use.
Here is what I came up with:
I have seen the cloud art before and really wanted to try it out! Using Barry M belly in blueberry as a base, not too bad for a first attempt. Think I need to work on my flowers though! Doesn't take long to dry, and I did use 2 coats of white for the clouds. Not the best colour to show up silver though oops. Wish they had brought out a gold, really want a gold.
Nail Art pens are £4.99 available from Barry M, Superdrug and Boots. Get them now while they are on offer!
So what do you think of the pens? Any tips for someone who has never done nail art before??
First post of MANY of my Barry M collection. Over the next 2 weeks I will be going through the Gelly and pastels, nice spring/summer colours, we can at least pretend its spring.
Today I have gone for Blueberry. I haven't seen this one in the shops much, my Superdrug finally had 1 in stock and my mum bought it for me. I like the gelly paints but personally I am not bothered about having a high shine without a top coat. I really love the colours, but as I am a bit skint, I don't like paying the extra £1!
Oh my god I love this colour. It is SO bright. It really stands out on my nails. It applied smoothly, quite thick, but I like that, and as you can see it has a hi-shine without a top coat. It was almost opaque at one coat, but I used 2 just even out a few streaks. You can buy for £3.99 from Barry M superdrug and boots.
Barry M are my all time favourite, before I knew it I had over 60 polishes. Great affordable quality.
So it's a bit of a late post. I was meant to do this on friday but I was too excited for my show, then I was going to do it yesterday but I was too busy missing the show!
Me and my cousin went to go and see Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour by Cirque Du Soleil, and I have been saving Its a trap-eze just for this show, being part of the cirque collection.
It was beyond amazing by the way, huge Michael Jackson fans, and this was just a great way to listen to his music. Not usually a fan of remixes but I love what they did to the music.
I will do separate reviews for each polish at a later date, I was just going to wear Its a trap-eze but I had blueberry on and thought I would try them together and it looks really nice.
Its a trap-eze is a white base with lots of bright coloured glitter, the white isn't opaque so it gives a nice coating over another colour.
