Modern Pastel Manicure: Nail Art

Here's a modern take on the traditional French manicure. I love nail art but am never very adventurous, so here is what came of me playing around with a couple complimenting nail varnishes and some sellotape. 

                  

I used this varnish as a base, called Berry Ice by Barry M, as you can see its a pastel lilac and its quickly become one of my favourite shades. Barry M not only offer affordable varnishes in on trend shades, the consistency is perfect, meaning you can apply several layers for a thick, Gelish look or keep it thin for barely there colour. It also dries quickly and I have never had problems with lumps or gunk. 

                   

I think I've mentioned this nail varnish before, called Blooboo by Models Own, it just looks modern and fresh. Slightly thicker than the Barry M varnish, its a bit harder to apply and achieve great coverage but the thickness does grant a fantastic, vibrant colour. I used this for the tips of my nails, considering the consistency of the two varnishes, it probably would have made more sense to have applied the other way round but I preferred the colours this way.
