Swatch: Barry M Croc Effect - Burgundy

This is the Burgundy Croc Effect polish, I have already swatched the black one here, and compared the finish / effect to the crackle effect Barry M Polishes here.

So the basic idea is this is a polish you paint over another polish which isn't dry, has to be touch dry but not 100% dry. It takes longer than the ordinary crackle type polishes as well.

I have swatched this over a navy and a pink polish to show how it works. Basically it isn't very opaque and so you will have to use it over lighter colour bases.

 

I did notice a bit of a weird thing happening... it split quicker over my nail bed. I imagine it is something to do with my body heat.

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 406 (BM406)

This stamping plate is from the forth Bundle Monster set, the first CYO (create your own). It is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp, comes covered with a blue cellophane sticker which you have to peel off before use.

On BM406 there are four full nail images and two smaller ones. I like the designs especially the filigree design. The design with a lot of straight lines on wasn't too easy to work with but I think a lighter hand when scraping would fix that.

You can see all of the designs I have used this plate in here, and some of those are below:

Review: LadyQueen - Cow Print Decals BLE881*

 

This cow print nail water decal is from LadyQueen. The sheet is big enough for at least 10 nails.

Simply cut to size, peel off clear cellophane, dampen back of decal and place on nail, and finally peel away backing. 

Here are a couple of nail art designs I did using the cow print decals:

Cow Print Accent

Barry M - Matte White

Nails Inc - Primrose Hill

Full Nail Cow Print

Barry M - Matte White

These were easy enough to use, they did smudge with normal topcoat so make sure you use a non-dragging topcoat with these. I like Glisten and Glow - HK Girl.

LadyQueen also sent me a midi ring to use, I am someone who always wears a lot of rings. This one works well, it would also work on a little finger if you have slimmer fingers.

Cow Print Decals - $2.15
Ring - $1.91
