My Design: Cadbury Chocolate Inspired Nails

Hello Everyone,
I hope you are all having a great day.
In my last post I showed you guys the 'Galaxy Nails' I had created. A few people said they really liked that nail design, so I thought I would do another one.
Today however, I wasn't inspired by the night sky, it was the Cadbury Chocolate packaging!
I thought that the purple box, with gold writing looked really elegant with the cursive cadbury font.



I am aware I didn't do the best job at the gold swirls, but I didn't have a gold striper, so I had to make do. The base is simply a matte purple colour and the swirls are just a shimmery gold.
I used a mini Models Prefer gold and BYS' Matte Purple.


Thank you so much for reading,
Don't forget to subscribe and comment, it does mean a lot to me. Let me know what you think of this design.

My Design: Galaxy Nails

Hello everyone,
I am sorry that I have taken 2 longer than usual gaps inbetween my posts. I have been using the time I normally write my posts in to create new designs or get perfect shots of nail polish I will be using in upcoming posts.
Today I will be sharing with you a nail design I created a few days back. I knew the look I was going for, I wanted it to look like space. I did a number of different galaxy designs until I found the one I like best.
I layered 3 nail polishes for the below look.

I did a few silver splotches on my nail, not minding how messy it was. Then I painted a balck over it, making sure to go sheer were the silver is. Then I added some silver/holo glitter in a black base and layered it up until I liked it. What do you guys think of it?

These are the 3 colours I used. The silver is a Rubi Shoes polish, no name but it's silver. The black is Ulta3's Black Satin, just an ordinary black. Lastly, the glitter in a black base, is BYS' Down The Rabbit Hole, which is from their Alice In Wonderland collection.

Please let me know what you guys thought of this design. Do you want me to do more My Designs like this? It was actually really fun to create!

Thank you guys for reading,
Once again I am sorry for the gap inbetween posts.
Take care,
