Who doesn’t love a good animal print nail huh? This combination of colour and stamping is the one I used to wear the most before I started blogging, but it’s been a long time since I wore it. I was going to try something more adventurous today, like freehanding a leopard print, but laziness took over and I pulled out my stamping plates!

I think today is the perfect opportunity to show you one of the new Barry M Special Effects polishes – Gold Foil. They released a gold and silver foil and I snapped up the gold the first time I saw it on the shelf because I was in desperate need of a gold for stamping polish and a few friends had told me this works great.
It’s a one coater like most chrome effect polishes but I used two out of habit. Brush strokes are very minimal and maybe I sound cray-cray, but any streaks I could see when I first applied seemed to completely disappear after a few hours. Maybe I was seeing things, who knows?!
I confessed earlier in the week that I’m a creme devotee so I normally despise finishes like this plastered all over my nails but I’m slowly growing to really love wearing it. Although, I’ll probably sink back into my creme loving ways in no time and forget there ever was a day that I loved my metallic mani.
Have you seen Rie and Cristina‘s metallic manis yet?
You might have heard about the competition that Bundle Monster are running on their Facebook page. Contestants were asked to submit a photo of their nails decorated with Bundle Monster products and the 25 entrants with the most votes from the public will win a set of their new plates.
The picture above is a sneak peek of the mani I entered into the competition. I would really appreciate if you could click over to the competition here or here to take a quick look at my entry and see if you think I’m deserving of your vote. It’s a really simple thumbs up system for voting.
You can vote for each entry once per day. So you can bet I’m gonna be nagging you every time I post until the competition is over haha.
