My Favourite Nail Polish Colour?

My Favourite Nail Polish Colour?

Blue calibre furniture colour Nail Art sponsored post

I'll give you three guesses what my favourite nail polish colour is. Hint: look at the picture! Whilst you might see a lot of pink now and again, light blue is definitely a firm favourite. I love it as a base for nail art, as the picture below demonstrates, but I also love to use it in nail art too. Calibre Furniture* recently wrote to me and asked me what my favourite colour was, and I knew without hesitation. Colour is so important in art, and light blue has always been my favourite right from the start. In fact, a couple of months ago I realised there hadn't been any blue nails on my blog for a couple of weeks, what was the next post once I realised? Blue nails of course, even my logo is blue! (Although I change it for individual pictures, it's originally blue). Calibre have also created a graphic all about the psychology of colour, I found it an interesting read so I've attached it after the jump (it also includes a quote from me). I don't know what light blue design I'll create next, but I'm sure there will be many!

Multi Coloured Stripes for Barry M

Multi Coloured Stripes for Barry M

Barry M colour colourful multi coloured Nail Art Nails square squares stripe stripes Tutorial White

Hey everyone! I'm starting to feel like I have nothing to post, as the past couple of Saturdays I've been busy and not really able to do my nails. I do have a few designs but I'm not sure whether I like them much, and I also have a few christmas designs but it's too early for them to be posted! Instead, I took to trawling folders and discovered a couple of tutorials I created for Barry M this summer but completely forgot to post. So that gives me something to post at least! These were just a design I created when I was wanting to experiment a bit and I wanted colour. You can do them with or without the black stripe it's up to you but I did it for consistency! 

I unfortunately can't remember all the colours I used as these are from a while ago. The white is Barry M - Cotton, the red is Barry M - Copa Cobana, the blue is Barry M - Sky Blue and the black is acrylic paint but the rest I'm unsure of.

Step 1: Paint your nails with a white base coat, I used Barry M - Cotton

Step 2: Using a small nail art brush draw squares on the centre line of your nail in your chosen colour

Step 3: Repeat this with your next colour

Step 4: Repeat with all colours until you have a line down your nail

Step 5: Using black nail polish or acrylic paint and a striping brush draw stripes either side of your pattern

Step 6: Finish off with a topcoat to seal in your design and you're done!
