Yellow bead manicure

My sister passed on to me the Chi Chi pearl bead manicure clear polish as she thought she would hardly use it as it wasn’t very often she did bead nails and when she did she could use a normal top coat over the beads to hold them in place rather than the bead polish.

So I wanted to give the pearl bead manicure clear polish a go to try it out for myself. And to see if it could perform as a normal top coat as well.

Flatting/Leaving Home Nails

So I have just moved and left home which means all the furniture clashes, you get the most amazing retro designs and pattern. The family essentially give you everything that they no longer want and it all gets put into your new place as it free and you’re not going to complain.

So I got inspired by all this clashing and mismatched items and have created this manicure inspire by the house.

Decluttering

As I am moving I thought it was time to get rid of some of the polishes I no longer use even though I don’t have the biggest collection to start with (depends on your perspective) of 54 bottles.

First one is a gold glitter by coral colours that I got probably 5 years ago now and the formula is thick and gloppy now and I never think to use it so it’s time to let it go even though it was in my 10 nail polishes everyone should have.

Matte neon pink leopard print nails

So after seeing a lot of leopard print nails on Pinterest I’ve been thinking about doing another leopard print manicure for a while. Then I was thinking about what colours to do and this neon pink that my friend gave me popped into my head as I haven’t used it yet, and my sister had this shredded flaky glitter polish that I’ve bean wanting to uses. And then the inspiration keeps coming as I remembered seeing a YouTube video by Jenny Claire Fox called Matte Nail Art♥ Three Easy Ideas!  in it she put a matte top coat over a shredded glitter. And all these elements came together to create this look.
