Beauty // With An Ocean In The Way.

BARRY M// Hologram Hexagons, Instant Nail Effects Gold,  Mint Green.
... I think that perhaps I secretly wish I was a mermaid although funnily enough I can't swim (A mermaid that can't swim could potentially encounter a few "minor" problems, I know), or perhaps I've just spent too long singing along to "Under the sea" with my little sister (My Jamaican accent is really quite something! eek!), because for some unintentional reason as I painted my nails yesterday I suddenly began to feel a little bit like Ariel; a far less graceful version of course.
I'm going to be completely honest now and just say that I'm not really a fan of sparkly nails, in fact up until recently I would never of even dreamed of purchasing a nail polish remotely sparkly. So why exactly have I now taken a shine to nails that shimmer in the sunlight??? I honestly don't know. Perhaps watching The Great Gatsby has inspired me to be drawn to all things embellished with sequins and sparkle ... or perhaps I simply just wanted to try something new. I'm not sure what started this new phase but I have a feeling I'll be experimenting with some more polishes of the glitter variety soon! (Barry M sequin nail effects anyone? ha!)
Oh and yes I did get a little carried away with The Little Mermaid theme whilst taking photos, my apologies!

  2. Beautiful photos!!! I never liked sparkly nail polish either but yesterday I was shopping for some new nail polish, and I saw this purple sparkly nail polish and my mouth dropped, I didn't end up buying it though hahaha.

  3. Such pretty photos! The colours look lovely and I wish Barry M polishes were sold in Canada.

  4. I love the way you've done your nails, with the sparkle on just the accent finger (and I love the little mermaid theme!)
