Simple Ruffian

This one's a bit messy. I'm terrible at doing tips or ruffian in any capacity let alone attempting to get the tiny little stripes matte so it went all lumpy and bumpy but I quite like it, I'm going to attempt at again in the future. After all, practice makes perfect.

 

The base colour is Barry M Cyan Blue with one coat of BYS Tinkerbell to get the shimmer, then a top coat of NYC.

The dark blue is No7 Betty Blues and I used E.L.F Matte finisher to matte out the ruffian strips.

Hologruffian

Don't worry, I haven't invented a new gruffalo-esque monster. It's just a Ruffian Manicure with a Holo as a base :D

I used nail guides for this one to get a crisp line.
Base Colour: GOSH Holographic

Ruffian

I decided to do another Ruffian manicure, this time with some Konads too.

At first, I made a bit of a mess by painting on the accent after the main colour so clean up was pretty tricky!

Konad Plate: M35

Base Colour: Glo Baby Glo - Yes Cyan!, from Primark

Accent and Konad Colour: W7 - Black

Top Coat of NYC

Some kind of moon manicure?

I've seen these manicures around but I can't remember the name. I think it's something to do with a moon, does anybody know?

I was going to add a Konad but I thought it might end up looking a bit o.t.t and I didn't want to risk my feelings towards this manicure turning from love to dislike cuz it took aaaages.

Pink Colour: Glo Baby Glo - Pinky 'n' Flirty, From Primark
Purple Colour: Nails Inc - Victoria
TWO top coats of NYC  - as you can see this one's extra shiny.
I used two coats to speed up the drying - by the time I was finished I had about 5 coats of polish on :)
