Got a secret, can you keep it? | Pretty Little Liars Inspired Nail Art

Some PLL inspired nail art seemed fitting on the day of their Halloween special.
 
 
 
Keeping it simple I took inspiration from the opening credits and used Avon's Viva Pink as a base. One coat was enough for a solid opaque finish but I used two just for good measures and then reached for Barry M's Red Wine I bought in my latest haul. With the blood like colour and using a dotting tool I recreated A's infamous signature on my accent nail. This simple design is perfect for a day at work but still pays homage to one of my all time favoutie shows.

Bary M Haul

 
At Superdug this weekend there's a buy one get one free offer on all Barry M nail polishes priced £2.99 so I ceased the opportunity to pick up a four new colours.


Two seasonal polishes, I bought Red Wine with Halloween in mind. The formula is very thin and the blood red colour will be perfect for blood splattered halloween nails. I've already used it in a Pretty Little Liars inspired design for their upcoming Halloween special (photos coming soon).
 
Berry Cosmo is the perfect autumn shade unlike others in my collection. On application it's a slightly deeper purple, almost vampy, ideal for a gothic A/W  edge.
 
 
Diamond glitter is a repurachse of my all time favourite glitter polish. I'll continue to buy this until somebody trumps it but I can't see that happening any time soon. The various sizes of glitter make it easy to build up to opacity but one coat is enough for a gillter top coat or gradient effect.
 
With the festive season not too far away I opted for another glitter and Masquerade jumped out at me. Sinful Colors do a similar glitter but more purple based and although I have that Masquerade's predominantly blue glitter will easily pair with many of my polishes and outfits.
 
The offer is on Superdrug's website untill tonight (I assume midnight) so if you didn't get chance to go in store this weekend be sure to order online. This is the best offer Barry M have had for a while but it does make me wonder whether their £2.99 polishes are coming to an end; hopefully not.

Poundland Nail Polish Haul


I regularly frequent the beauty section of Poundland for Nail Polish bargains and although they don't restock very often when they do I make it my mission to bag the best ones.


I was so happy to find an autumnal green, it's one of my favourite colours and probably my most owned shade of polish. Only two coats were needed for an opaque finish but I've heard Forever Strong chips easily so a top coat is essential.
RRP: £4.49


The perfect pinks for autumn/winter with a frosty blue that reminds me of Elsa's dress in Frozen. I don't love the sugar coat finish but it's a nice novelty.
RRP: £6.99 each


I'm fairly new to the Sinful Colours brand but my friend swears by it so I thought I'd give these two a try. Considering their RRP is only £1.99 I didn't have high expectations but with a perfect application after one coat and minimal chipping I'm keeping my eyes peeled for more. I'm not sure where else you can buy these in the UK so if you please leave a comment.

What bargains have you picked up lately? I'd love to know.

Opal



Opalesce is a topcoat with chunky pieces of iridescent glitter. I wanted to achieve an icy look against Huckleberry's backdrop but Opalesce seemed to blend in rather than create the light reflecting accent nail I was hoping for. It's a lovely top coat though and next time I'll perhaps pair it with a darker colour, a midnight blue might work nicely.
