NOTD - Black&Silver

Recently I've been trying to make my nails look a bit more..... creative. So I opted for a relatively simple black and silver look :)

This was after the colours were freshly applied - awful application in close up! :(

The next morning... I ended up sleeping on them and the grooves are clearly visible in the photo. Luckily it doesn't look too bad in reality, so I am happy.

To get the look I used:

• Barry M Base Coat, Top Coat & Nail Hardener
• Barry M Nail Paint in Black 144
• Perfect Chic Art Base in Silver 
• Bourjois 1 Seconde Sparkle Top Coat (Shade 18) 
• Elegant Touch Rapid Dry for Nails

The latter I got as part of a crackle set from Israel. It is a very nice formula, albeit a bit thick.
  
Procedure

• 1 coat of base to bare, clean nails
• 3 coats black polish. Let the coats dry in between
• Draw a rough line with the silver polish. Fill up to the bottom of the nail. 
• Let the silver dry. Go over the colour and define the line. 
• Spray the final coats with Rapid Dry. Leave for a minute
• Once the nails are dry, apply one coat of sparkle top coat
• Finish by applying a clear top coat

 The main three products I used

It is relatiely easy to do, but does involve a LOT of coats (so will take a long time to dry) but the overall result looks very pretty, and got me a few compliments!
