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? : )
I've tried the black one and was amazed how quick and easy it was! I'd like to try the white one but i can't seem to find any. :(

Hi Anna, I know what you mean, I had to go to three different Boots' to find the white one. I think there really popular at the moment. But definatley keep looking! :)
ReplyDeletethe pink and black looks ace together, really need to buy myself some! x
ReplyDeleteThe blue and black go really well together, I'm in two minds over whether or not I like the instant effects! I always love it when I see it on other peoples blogs, it looks really good! Ha, it's just when I put it on my own nails it doesn't go so well! Really eager to try out the white one but I still can't get my hands on it! x
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not I haven't tried this nail effect yet. I'll have to get myself some. I thought is was going to be really tricky to apply, I didn't know you just paint it over and leave it.
