Lets Talk Nail Care

Nail polish has to be the very first beauty product I fell in love with, essentially introducing me to the world that is beauty. Now, I have slight confession to make... I used to bite my nails. Yep, ever heard of a nail addict that used to vigorously tear at her poor nails ... that was me. This was until I discovered nail art and all the wondrous colours that could adorn my fingers. Since then, I would say I keep my nails in quite a healthy condition and will always, and I mean always have polish on. 

HOW TO: Remove Glitter Polish

We all like to jazz up our nails with a sprinkle of glitter from time to time, but I'm sure we can all agree that trying to remove this creation is most certainly a laborious task. Being a slight nail addict with little time, I wanted to find a technique that would make this horrific job a little more effortless. 

Manicures Of The French

Now I'm not all to sure if the french manicure actually originated from the french but it does seem a tad strange if say, the Portuguese discovered it and named it 'french'. 

However I'm pretty sure that when it comes to the humble manicure, the French manicure will almost always certainly come out on top. Nowadays, I find that acrylic nailed white tips can come off a tad too fake what with just about every girl caked with make up, dangling extensions, topped off with the over sized fake nail somewhat giving the once sophisticated manicure a negative impression. Don't get me wrong, I think acrylics can make such a difference but I do suggest not going over the top and choosing a size and length that do not match your hands. 

Seche Vite VS Revlon Quick Dry Top Coat (DUPE)

Nail polish will forever hold a special place in my dear heart.It is of course, what introduced me to the wondrous world that is beauty . Seche Vite was a product that I would continuously contemplate on purchasing, being a tad on the pricey side for a clear top coat. However, pondering on the FeelUnique summer sales, the offer of £8 caught my attention and so I quickly snatched it up. Deciding that it was something that I would eventually want to try and cave on anyway. 

Seeing as though my previous 'Beauty battle off' post had proven quite popular I thought you all would find this equally as useful. 

My Nail Discovery

Oh my good gosh and all things holy. I know I'm a tad late on the band wagon but I don't think you will ever see a nail polish remover bottle rolling around my room ever again! These absolute beauties are a little piece of heaven in pink tub. I know Bourjois have released the same concept but paying £4.99 for a lump of acetone soaked sponge is a tad extortionate for a 17 Year old with minimal income. This however was found at BodyCare (in the UK) for the oh so lovely price of £1. It has the exact same concept and you literally just do as it says on the tin...or tub. Just twirl your finger in the sponge for a few seconds and voilà! 

NailArt: My Justin Bieber Design

So I know Justin Bieber isn't to everyones taste but I guess you could call me a fan.. that has more than a few posters and a cardboard cut out but I promise I'm not a crazy stalker! 

Anyways, I love nail art and it's something that I have been doing for quite a while now so I thought it would be good to start posting some of my nail designs on here just to add a bit of variety.

For this design I used:- 

• BARRY M- 

white, lemon ice cream, bright purple, magenta glitter, black and white. 

(as you can tell, I'm a bit obsessed with Barry M polishes!)

• NailArt striper polishes (for the lines and piano)-  you can easily find these online on Ebay and Amazon for a reasonable price

• Dotting Tools - You can also find these on Ebay and Amazon for just a few pounds and they will be so useful if you want to carry on experimenting with nailArt 

In the future I may start doing a step by step post on some of my designs,

Love

LUSH Review: Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter

I adore LUSH products and so it seemed like a good idea that it would be the subject for my very first review. 

I purchased Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter quite a while ago purely on a whim and with no particular purpose in mind other than it seemed like a good product and for quite a while it was just sat on my vanity for display purposes only. 

Only recently during the summer spells, I have been experiencing an increase in dry patches here, there and well... Just about everywhere, especially on my cuticles (As I have naturally very dry skin) so this particular product caught my eye.
