Hi everybody, I'm back after a short break!

I'd like to show you a very interesting manicure inspired by amazing Robin Moses. Here you can check out the original YT video :)

I followed every step in the video. Firstly I've painted tips unevenly with Color Club Black. I let it dry and applied thin strokes of Best Glue Ever instead of classic foil glue as Robin gave it such great recommendation! I must say it's really great! It didn't peel on my natural nails and it was extra sticky. After glue dried (it becomes clear), I've cut a piece of Mylar foil and started to stick it to the glued parts of the nail. I've used fuchsia and dark blue foil (can't remember the names, they are not in the packaging). After these steps I got this:

The next step was to paint pink and light ble strokes over the nail....it wasn't good :-/ My experience with free hand nail art is zero and my brushes are rubbish. The result is not perfect but I still liked this mani very much! I will have to practice a lot :) I've topcoated the whole nail with Seche Vite and didn't experienced any foil cracking. I've worn this mani 5 days!

So what do you think? Should I experiment more with foils?

Oh and don't forget to check Robin's blog and YT channel, she's done some amazing nailart!

Hi there! I got my first silver crackling polish! I went to Boots and big surprise - they had Models Own Silver crackling polish! I picked up one and here are some swatches.

I don't have the OPI Silver Shatter yet but from swatches on other blogs I can tell you that they are very different. Models Own is less shimmery, more grey/silver and is really pigmented. It also crackles less than OPI Silver Shatter.

Models Own Smash-Up Silver starts to crackle straight after application so be quick and colour the part of the nail only once! It dries reasonably fast. The bottle has 14ml and full price is £6. I paid less as I've used Boots offer 3 for 2. I will definitely buy OPI Silver Shatter as I think it's prettier but this one is quite interesting as well.

So what do you think? Do you prefer Models Own or OPI?
