<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I saw some patchwork nails on Instagram (I'm a little obsessed with IG at the moment lol!!) by @shunzaza and thought I'd try it myself! I did a totally different design with a blue colour theme :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used Barry M denim, China Glaze splish splash and Rimmel metal rush in royal blue for the base, I used a striping brush to apply it in random places on each nail :) then I added details usin NYC water street blue, nails inc all saints road and Barry M blueberry I've cream :) then I added the stitching using Barry M black and a striping brush :) then I matted it!! Of course lol! Can I just mention now how much I am in love with Barry M denim mattified!! It's gorgeous!!! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I've had the idea to do a mani based on one of my favourite bands for ages! So I finally did it!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I started out wanting to do the slipknot 'S' on my middle nail but it totally failed!!! So I decided to do all four nails based on their masks, and a pentagram on my thumb :D </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hey! Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, university is crazy at the moment!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I did these nails a while ago so I thought I'd share :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used quite a few colours for this, so if you'd like to know any specific name/brand please comment and ill do my best to remember :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I started of painting my nails 5 different dark colours, then when that had dried I chose the same colours in a lighter shade and used a dotting tool and small brush to paint on the drips. When that had dried I outlined the drips and painted on details in black :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">then I played around with the finish. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hey!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, uni is a bit crazy at the moment! I update my instagram much more frequently so why not follow me on there? username @trashedandlacquered :D</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anywhoo, these nails started off as a water marble but that totally failed! Seems to be a theme on this blog lol!! I'm sooo jealous of anyone who can water marble!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I decided that I would play around with the polish in the water, as mine wasn't spreading as it should, and I came up with this pretty cool design :)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1- Paint your nails a base colour. I used a make-up sponge to create a 4 square gradient. (the blue and purple kinda blended too much lol) tape around your nails to reduce the amount of cleanup at the end</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2- Drop some polish into a cup of water</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3- I used slightly colder water so the polish wouldn't spread like it does for normal water marbling.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">4- Start in the middle of the polish, using a toothpick swirl the polish around </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">5 & 6- Keep swirling until you are happy with the design</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hey :D</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I've seen loads of nails based around valentines day, and as I fail at hearts and roses, I decided to do a gradient dotticure. I saw a picture of this design ages ago but cant for the life of me remember where I found it! If you know please let me know! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The dots aren't placed as neatly as I'd have liked as I had a major case of the shakes (due to my medication, not anything dodgy lol)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I feel a bit like a bus today (not in the sense that I'm large and red, but I don't post for ages and then two come along at once! lol)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Again, these nails started off as something completely different! I wanted to try a patchwork heart mani a la <a href="http://pinkandpolishednails.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/the-patchwork-to-my-heart.html?showComment=1360275436082#c5112295651546387135" target="_blank">These beautiful nails by pink and polished</a> however, once again I completely failed!!!

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hey! Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been (and still am) really ill with a chest infection :( bad times! But you don't want to hear about my illnesses, so I'll get on to the nails!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was going for a different look when I started these nails. I wanted a gradient background with hearts and roses, however I completely fail at art, so the roses looked like splodges and the hearts looked like butts! Haha! so I went for stripes instead. They're kind of valentine's related as they're pink (that counts.. right??)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Also excuse the horrible dry-ness, this cold weather/ super hot central heating is not a good combo for cuticles! I'm going shopping at the weekend so I may have to pick up some lush lemony flutter as I've heard great things :)</span></div>

I used my new stamping plate, I still haven't got the hang of stamping lol!!<br />
The ring finger is covered in flocking powder :) which I LOVE!<br />
The gradient was done using 3 Barry M pinks - Bright pink, Strawberry ice-cream and Shocking pink<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I ordered some stuff from <a href="http://www.lightinthebox.com/c/nail-care-and-polish_519" target="_blank">Light in the Box</a> and it came through today!! Flocking powder, stamping plates, nail art pens and 3D bows :D </span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I tried out the stamping plates... basically a fail... you can see my attempt <a href="http://instagram.com/charlotte_keys/" target="_blank">Here on my Instagram</a>. Definitely need more practice lol</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But the flocking powder?!?! OMG I LOVE IT!!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So easy to use and it looks amazing!!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I decided to do some nail art with the flocking powder, and started off with a base of Barry M denim, its Sooo lovely!! dark blue with a gorgeous silver shimmer, sooo pretty!!!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then I used acrylic paint and a striped brush to make the tree trunk, and used a dotting tool to make the shape of the tree tops. While that was wet I used tweezers to apply the flocking powder, pushed it down so it stuck, then used a smaller dotting tool to create some apples with red polish :)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I got<a href="http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/knitwear/blue-anchor-print-knitted-jumper-_267429449" target="_blank"> this</a> really cute jumper the other day so decided to wear it today and match my nails to it!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">so nautical nails it is!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I started with a base coat, then Barry M white on each nail. Then the thumb, middle and little finger were painted with to coats of Revlon royal, and striping tape was used on my index and ring fingers followed by a coat of 17 red (I think its risky red by the name isn't on the tiny bottle!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Et voila!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Yesterday I posted about my Nails inc. haul, so I thought I'd show you what I got :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The miniature ones were a freebie for spending over 25 pounds :) the hand lotion was half price and the set of polishes were reduced from 35 to 20! These are my first nails inc. polishes and I'm pretty impressed :) and I do love a bargain :D</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I decided to use two of my miniature ones for this mani, hyde park corner and green park</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I started off with two coats of green park on all nails except my ring finger, which is two coats of hyde park corner, then used my dotting tool to create a strip of dots down one side of the nail :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> I also used striping tape to keep the lines neat </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Still need a bit of practice with the dotting tool lol!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And because I'm obsessed with all things matte at the moment, here they are mattified!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I've changed the name of my blog!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When I decided to start a blog I had NO idea what to call it so I called it the first thing that came to me and was available... polish and sparkles.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I know, its pants</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I was listening to a bit of Avenged sevenfold, and inspiration hit! And so Trashed and Lacquered is born (after the song <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZF3QsWzNbs" target="_blank">trashed and scattered</a>)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I've also got a new camera (I was using my iPhone before) so hopefully the pictures will be better quality from now on :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anyways, on to the nails :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I got this Barry M foil effects polish in silver at the weekend, so thought I'd try it out :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I painted two coats of Barry M black, then mattified it using Rimmel matte top coat, then started playing around with the striping brushes and silver foil polish.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I don't really like the results but I'm pretty new to all of this, and hopefully I'll improve over time :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I took that one off pretty quickly, and decided to whack out the Nails inc. haul I got at the weekend (6 full size polishes, three miniatures, a miniature top coat, nail file and hand cream, all in the sale :D)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was having a look at chalkboard nails and the 31 day challenge nails she had done this year, and two of her entries inspired me to create these nails. I loved the stripes down the sides in <a href="http://www.chalkboardnails.com/2012/09/31dc2012-day-12-stripes.html" target="_blank">this post</a> and the rainbow gradient in <a href="http://www.chalkboardnails.com/2012/09/31dc2012-day-09-rainbow-nails.html" target="_blank">this post</a>, so I decided to combine the two :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used the technique on chalkboard nails for the gradient, then once that was dry I used striping tape to mark off the edges and pained them black :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The colours I used were NYC spring street (orange), NYC lexington yellow, NYC water street blue and Barry M spring green, then Barry M black for the edges and a topcoat of Rimmel matte finish.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Just be careful when removing the tape, I was on my second to last nail, removing the tape and it flicked over and smudged onto my index nail on my left hand :( it was really late as well so I didn't have time to fix it and its been bugging me all day!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What do you think?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I thought I'd try my hand at a tutorial!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I had this idea when I was feeling low about the horrible weather we're having in England at the moment. I wanted something that would brighten up my nails and remind me of summer, and what better than a sunburst!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hopefully the sun will take a hint and come out!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I was doing the nails and decided to take pictures of each stage, so why not make a tutorial out of it?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here goes :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is everything I used:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaA5iApr2RK_Ev84qco1wWDgDfdQrOa24gAqvCVLQ6mLTpL4JM5TcsUfkCs9LnBEZqckSS0VgaMN8IsxZF_kuu1kQDNYiqbH_ojGAbbsoJ6iRREHV_taVtS45VKMMWDNWu5NwjaI8xsHm0/s1600/photo+(20).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaA5iApr2RK_Ev84qco1wWDgDfdQrOa24gAqvCVLQ6mLTpL4JM5TcsUfkCs9LnBEZqckSS0VgaMN8IsxZF_kuu1kQDNYiqbH_ojGAbbsoJ6iRREHV_taVtS45VKMMWDNWu5NwjaI8xsHm0/s400/photo+(20).JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Firstly paint your nails yellow (I used NYC lexington yellow)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When that's dry, add an orange gradient (I used NYC spring street) I use the tutorial by <a href="http://www.thenailasaurus.com/2012/04/gradient-nails-picture-tutorial.html" target="_blank">The Nailasaurus</a> to do my gradient :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjynW08L4_YVr0ON3BwRfBspfocFVYPxO_33-l9uoORVPJxEczxxjYF0OIguhOhfHtepVdVmdMPDv2UM3MXqB5TfmJtS1jCjp8cfXYqInNApwE6lIo7PoHFJDs4DPJiqa3RVQAtGkMlupc5/s1600/sunburst+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="620" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjynW08L4_YVr0ON3BwRfBspfocFVYPxO_33-l9uoORVPJxEczxxjYF0OIguhOhfHtepVdVmdMPDv2UM3MXqB5TfmJtS1jCjp8cfXYqInNApwE6lIo7PoHFJDs4DPJiqa3RVQAtGkMlupc5/s640/sunburst+1.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When that was dry I added a yellow glitter (Revlon pineapple fizz- and it's scented!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3aa-FoUKdaXHKBhLYFTdtGY27eA-MhhkrAVxjmmt1sI8l1Lj9sgp51HLPi7W0QgkUM2htKpJv5T1NpLX5XViy9_fLqVpBrCgxGFvXQnyP2hsXlOifJShhTr7yJvMs2_kw5Ym39XbjHcgD/s1600/sunburst+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3aa-FoUKdaXHKBhLYFTdtGY27eA-MhhkrAVxjmmt1sI8l1Lj9sgp51HLPi7W0QgkUM2htKpJv5T1NpLX5XViy9_fLqVpBrCgxGFvXQnyP2hsXlOifJShhTr7yJvMs2_kw5Ym39XbjHcgD/s640/sunburst+2.jpg" width="544" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then I added striping tape in a sunburst design from the side of my nail, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-fZSIW1SM8XoyHJ0CSL5Y6Iey9q9r6qnIO49qv8dUJcBEagZhMttXvWl-T69JEbr2N2kxI4_wffaTNYtQvgrKm70VbkeacmfHNdE8PzM7i_5Gknng-tz46vUDSjkEist9Aj_nh05Hspwd/s1600/sunburst+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-fZSIW1SM8XoyHJ0CSL5Y6Iey9q9r6qnIO49qv8dUJcBEagZhMttXvWl-T69JEbr2N2kxI4_wffaTNYtQvgrKm70VbkeacmfHNdE8PzM7i_5Gknng-tz46vUDSjkEist9Aj_nh05Hspwd/s640/sunburst+3.jpg" width="522" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">(make sure you press the tape flush to your nail, I didn't press it down hard enough on my little finger and the blue polish bled under the tape!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then a layer of blue (Barry M blueberry ice-cream) peel the tape off while the blue is still wet. This stage happens quite quickly so I couldn't get a picture.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Clean up cuticles and around the nail, add a topcoat when its fully dry to prevent the lines from blurring, I added a yellow rhinestone to the centre of the sunburst while the topcoat was still wet, and that's it!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was going to do splatter nails, but didn't really do much research, I like trial and error as I think it makes the process more fun :) so I was trying to splatter some thinned out polish onto my nail but ended up splodging the paint on instead, so I just went with it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used Revlon top speed in royal, then Splodged on three Sally Hansen's; Green tea, Fairy teal and Ballet rouges</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Not sure I like this one too much, I like the colour combo though.

I'll have to play around with colours and designs to make this one better.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was visiting my mum at the weekend, and my stepdad was eating licorice allsorts. I had just ordered some <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009LBPNOC/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00" target="_blank">nail caviar</a> online, and the round bobbly (is that a word??) sweets reminded me of it, so I was inspired to create a licorice allsorts mani!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Love these nails!! I love doing accent nails so a lot of the time I will have plain nails with art on just one nail. I've wanted to do cupcake nails for a while, so I thought I'd give it a go :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Started off with one coat of Barry M blueberry on each nail, then I used barry M shocking pink for the base of the cupcake with stripes of light pink, which I mixed using shocking pink and ORLY white (no name on the tiny bottle), then I used ORLY white for the cupcake icing, 17 risky red for the cherry, and Sally Hansen yellow kitty and ballet rouges, Barry M gelly blueberry and Barry M mint green for the sprinkles :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I love the way this came out! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used a basecoat of Barry M all in one (basecoat, topcoat and nail hardener), then a base of collection 2000 french white on all nails, I then put a square of Sally Hanson Yellow Kitty, Rimmel Pop Your Pink, Sally Hanson Fairy Teal and Barry M Gelly Blueberry onto my thumb, index and little fingers. I used striping tape and Sally Hanson Insta-Dri Uptempo Plum on my index finger, and I used W7 crackle polish in Earthquake White on my thumb and little finger. My middle finger has a coat of Technic Carnival (which i found on amazon <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006MI1LJ8/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00" target="_blank">here</a>) and I used my new <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00392UIXU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01" target="_blank">dotting tools</a> to make a random pattern on my ring ringer :) all topped with a coat of Sally Hanson Insta-Dri topcoat</span></div>
