Fridail: Here's Jade!

By
Today, I bring Jade to you! She's got a beautiful mani to show you today, so here it is!
---------------
Hello, I am Jade from Life in Lacquer. Thanks Rachel for having me today!

I have a marbled negative space mani to show you today, doesn't that sound.... interesting LOL.
 And I get to showcase my first ever picture tutorial collage!




I used a black striper to create the design on the pinky and index finger. I find straight lines quite easy as I mark them out with little dots before I do them. I was always told look at where the line is going not where it is! 

The studs are from the Born Pretty Store. 


Okay and here's a little Pictorial of the marble type nails. 
CLEAN UP IS A DRAG on this one so I suggest using PVA glue to cover around your sidewalls and cuticle, wait for it to go see through then proceed. It can then be peeled off taking the messy polish with it :)

I hope the pic is pretty self explanatory! 
BUT basically you dot some polish on a plastic bag (or something else non absorbent) 
Mix it up with a dotting tool
Pick it up on a nail stamper tool
Repeatedly stamp in over your nail. I recommend a white base coat on the nail first. (the polish on the stamper stays wet for a while so you can stamp more than once)
Clean up and topcoat! 

I used Essie Butler Please and Moyra 87 for the marble.

What do you think? 

I hope you enjoyed this and If you want to see more of my nail art then please join me on Facebook, Instagram or my blog :)

Oh wow, I love these! I never would have thought about using a stamper tool for things like this, I can't wait to try it!
And some very exciting news now.... I have no more exams! *parties*
So this means that you have to say your goodbyes to all these lovely guest posters, and you're stuck with me again- 3 times a week (if not possibly more). I apologise in advance hehe!
I will see you all on Monday then! And thanks for checking out everything while I've been busy- make sure you also check out Jade's Facebook, Instagram and blog! :D
Bye for now!

Return of the Blogger

Howdy! How are you all? Me? I'm great! My second year of university is (finally) over, and I am so, so ready for the summer to get started - although the Manchester weather seems to be preventing this. The nail course I was doing is also over, so I'm one step closer to becoming a nail technician if my degree happens to go down the pothole (which hopefully it doesn't, because the world needs animals now more than ever in my opinion). So basically, I'm back to being 99% stress free, and extremely bored with hardly anything to do. And so, I have returned to you delightful people (if you are still there) and to any of you who join me to walk on the path of Nail Parade from this point forwards. What's the plan then? I'm gonna mess around with the blog layout a little, to start with, I think! I'm also planning lots of exciting swatches, and nail art funs for you all mixed in with the occasional book review, travel and lifestyle posts, as always, and probably...

Fridail: Radiant Orchid- Colour of the Year!

By
Hey there! Happy Easter everybody! :) So, for those of you who didn't know already, there's a whole "Colour of the Year" thing that Pantone release each year. (Personally, I had no idea what so ever!) Last year, this colour was Emerald, which I am genuinely gutted that I missed out on- I love green! This year's colour is on the other end of the spectrum, and goes by the  name "Radiant Orchid" which is a kind of pinky-purple floral tone. From www.pantone.co.uk

Barry M Emerald Green

More green! There's so much green around here at the moment because not only is it a great colour, but I'm also considering it my "lucky colour" and I need all the extra luck I can get for my exams at the moment! Anyway, here is another swatch for you! :)
