Hey lovely ladies!
So yesterday I wanted to do a manicure, but not the usual pink and white. For my nude base I decided to go for the lovely Nails Inc London (free from Boots) but I thought the perfect tip would be a dark brown perhaps. But no dark brown in my nail varnish box! What to do?
If I showed you these nails, would you think the brown was a Barry M Dazzle Dust??
Well it is! It's the Barry M Dazzle Dust in Dark Chocolate. I had my lightbulb moment and put the smallest amount of the product on a piece of scrap paper and added a small amount of my Collection 2000 Strengthening Basecoat and mixed the two together, and it made a really nicely pigmented nail colour, and I used hardly any of the Dazzle Dust. They say it's for Lips, Cheeks and Eyes, but nails too? You can use pretty much any pigment, and any clear nail varnish. A few weeks ago I mixed an old mineral powder foundation that I NEVER use, and it gave the perfect nude nail. Why not have a go and tell me what you think?
Hope you enjoy all my strange tips I do, let me know if you'd like to see more!
