Tbt: Nude Nails With White Fishnet Gradient

I feel like nude nails never go out of style. They're simple, elegant and will go with absolutely anything.
I came up with this, 'Nude Nails With White Fishnet Gradient', a while ago and thought I would share it here today. It's a more subtle design than I usually wear but I love how it looks.

To find out how to create this design check out my video below, or for more nail art videos take a look at my YouTube channel! Let me know if you have any requests! :)

Nail Of The Day: Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream

Today's NOTD is Barry M's 'Blueberry Ice-Cream'. I love Barry M polishes for their affordable pricing and creamy polishes and this one is no different. I used two coats for a full coverage finish but the texture of this one may have been slightly too thick or creamy as it did leave faint streaks on my nails, although nothing so serious that a clear top coat won't cover up and definitely nowhere near serious enough to put me off this polish!

The colour is a gorgeous sky blue, slightly more vibrant than a 'baby blue' which makes it stand out a bit more and the polish is without a doubt an opaque cream, there is not an ounce of shimmer or sheerness to it whatsoever.

A great polish for fingers or toes and would look fab if you have been out in the sun and caught yourself a bronzed tan!

Christmas Bows #25NailOfChristmas - Day8

For day 8 of my #25NailsOfChristmas over on Instagram I decided to create cute red and white festive bows and this is what I came up with.

I love how it turned out, the design is really clean and I think the red pops well against the white background. I think the black outline helps with defining the bow stand out and giving it dimension and it almost makes the bow look a little cartoon-ish. I uploaded a tutorial onto my YouTube channel for anyone that wishes to re-create this design!

Let me know what you think and if you fancy giving this design a go tag me on Instagram or use #ibeautyboutique - I love seeing your re-creations! :)

Tbt: Candy Cane Nail Art

As Christmas is coming up I thought I would share with you the designs that I created videos for in previous years! This design is a candy cane inspired water marble and I love how it turned out. I think the colours worked really well together, I tried to get the marble to be more like lines rather than swirls and I think that really worked. I topped this water marble off with a glitter polish for a bit of added sparkle.

Products used:
OPI - Alpine Snow
China Glaze - Winter Berry
Barry M - Spring Green
Rimmel London - Disco Gold
A cup of water
Toothpicks
Tape
Polish Remover
Cotton Pads/Buds

Let me know what you think of this design and if you give it a try! You can find me on Instagram or Facebook (iBeautyBoutique everywhere!) Tag me in any re-creations, I would love to see! :)

Nail Of The Day: China Glaze Frostbite

This electric blue has a subtle shimmer to it and looks great on fingers and toes. For me, it’s one of the staples in my collection as I am on my second bottle. I love a pop of bold colour on my nails and that is definitely what this gives. I think it’s a great polish for all year round as its bright enough for summer but also has a deep tone to it that I think makes it suitable for the colder months too. It's a great polish to add a pop of colour to your favourite LBD and is fab for the party season!

What polishes do you think are good all year rounders?
