Lip Mix: Sunday Glow (Barry M Sunset Lip Paint + Barry M Peachy Pink Lip Paint)

—-

How’s your weekend been? Mine has - like all weekends - been too short, and am not looking forward to Monday.

But to perk myself up for the next few days, I’ve painted my nails a bright peachy pink, and for dinner tonight, I’ve painted my lips to match.

Barry M 151 Sunset Lip Paint + Barry M 147 Peachy Pink = a bright, pastel peachy pink.

(If you think it’s troublesome to reapply a mixture when you’re out, let me assure you it’s not rocket science. I just apply the paler peach-pink shade, then run the coral shade over it, both directly from the tube. No brushes, no fingers, nada. It takes me the same amount of time to touch up a single shade.)

For nails, I used something from the local drugstore’s bargain bin, and it’s un-numbered, so I think it would be more helpful for me to just tell you Barry M’s Pink Flamingo Nail Paint would be a lovely alternative.

Experiment! Coral and Grey Marbled Nails

—-

Decided to try nail marbling. I armed myself with a coral pink polish and gunmetal metallic grey.

Then with a bowl of water, lots of tape, and a handful of toothpicks, I set to work.

Probably going to experiment with different textures, base coat shades, etc. But all in all, not bad for a first-try!

Peach Nails with a Fimo Blossom

—-

Sorry, this is another bargain bin find without a name or number. But I’m sure you can find a similar shade from most nail brands. It’s just a bright, creamy peach-pink on which I stuck a little teal and pink blossom.
