Prom Nails Jade Models Own and Barry M

So I want to start a prom series ready for all the Proms coming up soon!.....So here is my first attempt! Its models own Jade Stone which I have had for a while and I LOVE.... the plain silver on the tips is Barry M Instant Nail Effects in 319 Foil, I have had this for quite some time now and I think they still do it, Its great you only need one coat and stays on really well. the sparkly silver is Barry M Limited Edition Effects which I picked up over a year ago in Boots its in silver glitter 149, Its quite an opaque glitter which you only need one coat!

The Final look!
So to get this look I started by priming my nail off with Sally Hanson (as always) then I applied one coat of the Jade stone! I know... It looks good for one coat! once it was fully dry I painted the bottom half of my nail with the Foil colour, just one coat again. I painted it with a curve around my nail, when doing this try to imitate the shape of your cuticle. Once that was fully dry I painted the glitter on the line, this covered any imperfections, I did not use and special brushes just the normal nail varnish brushes. I finished it off with the Seche Vite top coat with is super fast drying, Hi Shine and its really long lasting! 

Foil and Silver Glitter

I thought that this nail design was a bit of a twist on a French manicure which is a bit more special for an occasion like a prom! I chose to use the Jade but you could change the colour to any other for instance a pink would look really nice! I know a lot of girls do like a pink Prom dress!

Let me know what you think if you try this design out or if you use it for your prom or any other special occasion and I will continue with the prom series! Also if you have any requests for a colour scheme or design leave a comment and I will try my best to do them!
Jade Stone
I hope you have enjoyed this and follow me for me exciting designs!

Day 17 of Blogmas! Xmas Glitter Snow Nails

Today I am a full on sick note, after being so ill iv has to take the day off work so after I had been to the doctors and could sleep no more I decided to paint my nails. I started with my Sally Hanson hard as nails then I have used my models own Jade Stone and I have followed it up with Barry M hexagon glitter. I love love love glitter this time of year and it cheers me up when I'm not well as well as if you knock your nail while your base colour is drying the glitter will cover these imperfections! This Barry M glitter (I'm not sure of the name but its got a number 1 on the bottom of the bottle) is really good! Iv had it for quite a while but I think it is one of there program lines. I have only applied one coat of this on the nail which I think is a really good amount for a snowy look.
I think it gives an almost snowy Christmas look! I'm pretty happy with it and as iv said before if it starts to chip just add more glitter! When my nail is 100% dry I will add one coat of top coat to add a nice shine!
