Cheery Cherries! 

With flash


Hmmm, I'm not sure that these turned out as cherry-like as I thought they would, but I really like them. My love of cherries is relatively new, but it turns out they are the most amazing fruit - each one is a little flavour bomb! Fresh, glace, maraschino.....oooops, drooling:)

Anyway, the base here is by Maybelline, called Rose Poudre. It's a great shade on me, and covers that fact that my real nails are vile. However, it needs at least 2 coats and doesn't dry as quickly as I'd like. The cherries are Barry M Red Black. Now, I cannot really explain how much I love Barry M varnishes (great shades, cheap, good application), however this one fell short of my expectations. It takes at least 3 coats and even then I still find it doesn't cover brilliantly. Oh well, I'm fairly sure that it won't stop me buying more from their range (hope my bf doesn't read this part:)

  1. Actually, originally did the stalks using my (slightly neon) green nail art pen, but didn't really like the effect so I used my trusty Barry M Emerald Green varnish and a cuticle stick:) Thnak goodness for Barry M!
