Shattered Nails

  Blogger could not have failed at a worse time. My giveaway post got deleted, so I'm really sorry to everyone who had already entered, I'm afraid you'll have to re-enter by clicking here. : )

  So how was everyone's week? My friends flew off to Spain today & I just got a text saying they are lying on the beach sunbathing. I'm sooo jealous as I'm off to work in a bit. -sigh-

  Anyway, I've seen on quite a few of your blogs these shattered nails, I must say, I fell in love with them instantly! So I went out & bought the black pot last week.



  For those of you that haven't seen this before, its a new nail varnish by Barry M that allows you to create this 'shattered glass' look. I bought the black because it goes over most colours.

  First of all you need to chose a base colour (the blue on my nails) so the shattered effect can go over the top. I used Barry M's pastel blue as my base colour. So paint your nails as you would do normally & then once they are dry, apply a layer of the shattered nail varnish on top & watch it separate across the nail.


  The effect is almost instant & dries really quick!


  I must admit, once I'd tried the black, I loved it so much, I went out & bought the white & pink one too! I haven't tried either but I did paint my friend's nails yesterday with the pink over a black base colour.


  What do you think? : )
