Pretty Little Polish

Hey Ladies,

It's no lie that I absolutely love nail polish, so today is another polish post!  These lovely delights come to you from the Avon Nail Wear Pro and Nail Wear Pro Plus range. I usually pick polish colours that will flatter my dead white skin and make my hands look pretty. These two polishes are right up my street in the shades Coral Reef and Real Red. The Coral screams summer and would look great on anyone with a tan. The red is a deep blood red, to me its something you would see on Vampira, Elvira or in True Blood, truly a vixen shade!

These polishes are always on offer in the Avon catalogue and currently you can get them for the bargain price of €3.25 as they are normally €8. The are extremely long wearing and can endure a hard days work. The formula itself is top notch and glides over the nail with ease, it only takes two coats to get a great opaque look. The best part? The are lovely and glossy so I see no need for a top coat. 

These are available from Avon and you can check out the catalogue online here.

I hope you enjoyed! 

Love,

Honey, I shrunk the fruit salad.

Hey Ladies,

As we all know I am a total nail junkie and love trying out different nail effects on myself. The best place to find inspiration is blogs and you have an endless information on where to get the tools used and the newest craze. A while back I saw posts on various blogs about the new Essence Fruity collection that wasn't coming out for a couple of weeks and the main thing that caught my eye was the 3D nail fruits. So I eagerly awaited on this collection checking my local Essence stand every week until I got my hands on it. The little fruits cost  around €3 and will last you for ages if you only use them as accent nails. They come with a glue to apply them with which is super handy although I used some nail glue as I had misplaced mine! I applied mine with nail glue on top of a base coat of my favourite lilac polish and then sealed it in with a top coat.

I've had these on for a week already and they are still in perfect condition! If you see these on your local Essence stand definitely pick them up as you won't be disappointed.

Love,
S

Effie Trinket Nails

"May the odds be ever in your favour!"


Hey Ladies,
If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen my recreated Effie Trinket nails that I posted last night. I am a huge Hunger Games fan and when I went to see the film I was so mesmerised by the nail designs of Effie Trinket.

The nail look I am going to do today is the pink glitter nails seen at the start of the film during the reaping. This is a super easy nail look to do and only takes around a half and hour.


What do we need? 


For this look you will need a pink polish, a glitter, a cosmetic sponge and a top coat. I used the Glo Baby Glo polish from Penney's, a glitter nail polish from H&M and Seche Vite top coat. I also used a cosmetic sponge, this one is just the standard one you get with a face powder.

 How to do it?

 Begin by applying the pink polish to all of your nails, making sure that the colour is very opaque. Wait for it to dry completely before moving on to the next step. Then taking your sponge, apply a small amount to a corner and begin to pounce the colour up the nail. Apply the glitter to 3/4's of your nail leaving enough space at the top for the pink to be seen. Then repeat the same step once again but only applying the glitter to 1/2 of the nail. Then finally repeat the same step once more to the very tip of the nail to make it completely glittered. Simple huh?

Then waiting until your polish is dry, apply your favourite top coat to seal in your design.

 Happy Hunger Games!
Love,
S
