Hello lovelies,

I'm still loving the Barry M Nail Art Pens so I've done some drawing with them again. This time it's half moon design. I've drawn over Clinique Fizzy (reviewed here) with the black nail art pen. It flows nicely but sometimes it's not fully opaque in the first coat, especially when filling bigger spaces.

Hello lovelies,

I'm so excited to show you this manicure..actually there's three versions of it!

The theme of the Illamasqua's collection, Paranormal has inspired me and this manicure is supposed to depict tears through the fabric of the universe; between our universe and the one where ghosts, demons and other paranormal creatures live.

I have used Illamasqua Omen and A England Camelot.

Then I said to myself: "Hang on, I could make this even more interesting, white glows under UV light too!" I've outlined the 'tears' and added some distress lines using white acrylic paint and this is the result:
