A single vine of roses


I have been wanting to do a rose manicure for a while, and when I was packing up stuff to go to Wales for a week, I decided to bring along my stamping plates and some polishes to do a rose mani. 

Having seen how it turned out, I am so glad I did. It's a bit unconventional, but I am sure you will all love it.
I wore this nail art together with a ballon-skirt that I bought last year, that is black with roses on.


Barry M - Superdrug Limited Ed. Yellow

Barry M - Superdrug Limited Ed. Yellow


 This is such a bright base, it covered well in two-three coats and went on smoothly. You can no longer find this polish in Superdrug, but I found one at my local Factory outlet for a pound. I wish I had bought this polish earlier, cause it would make a perfect yellow for Easter. This does however mean that my quest for next years Easter Yellow is over (!).

I stamped using Barry M - Gelly - Watermelon and the MoYou-London Mother Nature Collection - 05.
I like it when I can pull together a complete look with only polishes in the same brand. Barry M - Gelly - Watermelon stamped really well. I am surprised over how smooth it all went.


As soon as I finished this manicure, I was ushered into the car, so I didn't get time to take a proper picture posing with the bottle like I always do. This is me stretching my fingertips in the car admiring the mani. 
I did notice that the light the hand you use when transferring the image from the stamper to your nails the lighter the gelly will appear on your nails. The heavier hand, the darker it transfers. Just a thing to keep in mind when stamping with gelly polishes. 

Since I was inspired to do this mani, due to my skirt, I had to take a picture with the skirt and the nails together. I am so proud over this manicure. So pretty. 



Have you ever matched your nails to the print on your dress?
What is your thoughts about it?

It's a Rain Forest Safari

Lets go to the Jungle!
Or something like that. This polish has it all. This is so cool, I brought it with me home.
My nail polish collection weight more than me... I think I have hit 300, but can't say for sure until I get my spreadsheet updated.

Barry M - Watermelon makes my nails look so perfect it's insane. EVERYONE should own something like this. The Gelly collection is amazing. I need more of them, thats for sure.
I wasn't actually gonna get these, but I was sent a huge shopping list by a blogger in Norway to get for her in the UK, and most of the Gelly collection was on it. I know she has good taste, so I grabbed one. Only one.
And it was this one.
I love it.

One coat of Barry M - Watermelon, and one coat of Maybelline - Rain Forest Canopy.
I did an accent version of this manicure as well, and not just a layered look. So you can see that the colors are just made for each other.
