If you know me, you know I LOVE a Barry M polish, and when I saw their latest collection I bought it immediately. These six new shades in their Gelly Hi Shine range are gorgeous muted pastels, perfect for spring! All of them were opaque in two coats, and were super glossy like all of Barry M's Gelly Hi Shine polishes.

I am completely obsessed with how these polish look all together! I decided to do a nail art design using all six of them, and I am so in love with this mani!

(Design is from Moyou London's Atlantis 03 stamping plate.)

Animal Crossing is one of my favourite video games franchises of all time, and I have played most of the games in the series. I have put almost 600 hours into Animal Crossing: New Horizons alone! So, when I saw that Manitude were releasing 2 Animal Crossing-themed plates, I knew I needed to order them.

I’m so glad I bought these plates. These are the first plates I’ve owned from Manitude, and I absolutely love them. They are amazing quality, they stamp perfectly, and the designs are adorable. I will definitely be buying lots more Manitude plates in the future!

NOOKS & CRANNIES
This plate has so many cute designs; trees, fruit, fossils, buildings, leaves, bells (money), logos, etc. Everything you need to create the perfect Animal Crossing mani!
I also LOVE that this plate has the entire alphabet in the classic Animal Crossing font, so you can create completely customised text designs.
There are lots of reverse stamping options on this plate—which I adore!

BELL SWOOP
This is my favourite of the 2 plates. The reason: reverse stamping! If you know me, you know reverse stamping is my favourite type of nail art to do, and this plate is literally ALL designs that are perfect for reverse stamping. This plate has a selection of villagers, featuring a mixture of the animal types. This plate’s designs pair perfectly with designs using the Nooks & Crannies plate. I am obsessed with this plate.
I would love to see more of these plates so I can have even more villagers on my nails!
