Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Shrimply Divine

Hey guys so I have had this nail polish for a while and it is literally my most used colour this summer. It is the perfect pink colour and will go well with all skin tones.


This is the nail polish, it is a bit brighter in real life, the camera couldnt quite pick it up. By the way I got a new camera so my pictures are going to be a lot better quality from now on. The nail polish is quite pigmented, you could get away with one coat but I always use two. You can just put two coats on and you are finished with your nails because it is made so you don't need a base coat or top coat. 

I have tried it without a base or top coat and it does stain my nails and chip but if you were going to wear this nail polish only for about 2 days you don't need to worry about using a top coat.

This is it up close. The angle is quite bad it makes the nail polish look really thick it isn't in person.

You can purchase these nail polishes from big Boots stores or on Amazon.co.uk for around £9

I hope you liked this post and my posts will get more professional from now on.

Black and Gold Nail Art using Striping Tape

Hey guys! I am really into blogging right now and I absolutely love reading nail polish blogs, I can literally spend hours looking at nice nail pictures aha! I have always had a vision of doing these nails I just never got around to doing them.



This is the finished result. I am obsessed with how they turned out! How cute right? For the gold I used a Models Own gold which came in a nail set so it doesn't have a name, and then I put a chunky gold glitter on top (Barry M Gold Glitter). Then I put on pieces of striping tape in diagonal parallel lines (which requires a lot of patience) and then I painted a black nail polish over the top. To top it off I added Seche Vite to make it all smooth out and shinier :)

Have a good day thanks for reading, leave any colour combinations you would like me to try with the striping tape in the comments below thanks xx

Pink Nail Art Look - Dots, Stripes, Diagonals

Hey guys its finally summer for me! I am so happy! I actually ended school 4 days ago but I wanted a little time to reflect on the previous school year and that sort of thing! Sounds a bit weird haha! Anyways I know this look isn't for everyone but I like it :)



I did a design using a hot pink and a dark pinky purple colour. It is very random as I was just experimenting. 

I applied a coat of Essie protein base coat, then 2 coats of Barry M Gelly Nail Paint in Grapefruit. For the dark colour I used Nails Inc in Plum. Then for the dots I used dotting tools and for the stripes I used striping tape.

Have a good day, thanks for reading xx

Blue Nail Art Using Striping Tape

Hey guys sorry its been a long time since I posted, ive been quite depressed because of things going on with school and im just trying to enjoy the last few days with my friends. So you will be seeing more posts when my summer starts.
This is the look I did. I just did random designs on each nail.

I used Essie protein base coat, then 1 coat of Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream, then a coat of Seche Vite to dry it, then Barry M Indigo on top of the striping tape. Then I used another coat of seche vite to smooth it all out. 
This is the design I did on my thumb. Comment if you want a tutorial

Im going to start taking my pictures outside as they turn out so much better because of the natural light.

Have a great day <3

How to get white nail tips FAST!

Hey guys so I started doing this method just to get rid of staining on my nails and it ended up making my nail tips so white! Normally I used to have quite yellow or see through nail tips if you know what I mean?

So it is so simple. All I do is get a nail brush and run it along a bar of soap and then scrub my nails with it. Make sure to scrub underneath your nail tips. I do this at night and when you wake up your nails will be nice and white.

I hope this works for you! Have a good day <3

Gold and Navy Stripes with Striping Tape | Nail Art

Hey guys so until July 24th I am at school so I will be posting on Fridays or Saturdays. Last weekend I did laser art and I thought I would try a vertical stripe design. This took probably 1hr and a half to do, you have to be patient. I personally don't like the colour combination I used but thats just my opinion I guess.
First I applied Essie Protein Base Coat followed by 2 coats of a gold Model's own nail polish (doesn't have a name as it came in a nail art set) Then I used my striping tape and painted a coat of Barry M Gelly in Blackberry.
Nailasaurus has a good tutorial on how to use striping tape which you can find here. It is quite easy to use but it takes a while to place it in the right place. 

Thanks for reading, i'll probably be posting tomorrow aswell. Have a great day <3

Laser Nail Art NOTD

Hey guys so I finally got my striping tape in the mail after literally about 5 months! So I immediately started trying this laser nail art and it turned out okay, and these pictures are actually so ugly I was having a bad blogging day today, oops.

This is the finished design. From left to right the bright colours I used were: Barry M Gelly Polish in Greemberry, Barry M Gelly in Satsuma, Jesses Girl Nail Polish in Girls Night out, Jesses Girl nail polish in All Things Girly
This is what they looked like with the flash. And I used thenailasaurus' tutorial which you can find here.

They turned out quite good, considering it was my first time using the tape. It took me about 2 hours because I had to wait for each layer to dry.
