Gradient Polka Dot Nail Art

Hey guys sorry I didn't post yesterday I was having a bad day but today I've been really inspired; I've planned all of my blog posts for the rest of this month and I'm so excited for blogging every day! I saw this on The Nailasaurus' blog and had to see if I could re-create it myself. So all credits go to Sam!

It is sort of a gradient polka dot, the idea is that there are more polka dots at the bottom and they fade up into less polka dots. I used 2 coats of Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Shrimply Divine and then I used dotting tools to make the dots.

It was so easy, the polka dots took about 5 minutes but the pink nail polish took a while to dry.

Models Own Champagne Nail Polish Swatch

Hey peeps I actually got this nail polish at Christmas and I don't know why I just realised I own it! My nail polish collection is probably getting a bit ridiculous now!

This is the nail polish. It is not what I would call champagne, it is more of a light browny silver shimmer if that makes sense.I used 2 coats of this but you could easily get away with one. It is quite a shiny finish but not very smooth so I would use a top coat as well. 

It is more silvery than it looks in the bottle which I was a bit sad about but oh well. It retails for £5.00 you can check it out here. Check out my other Models Own swatch here. It is quite easy to remove, it's not like a glitter polish at all.

Rimmel Nail Nurse Nail Rescue 14 Day Treatment Review

Hey guys so since I did that blog post about my gel nails I remembered I used a products to help my nails get back to strength, which is this amazing product!

To find out about my gel nail experience click here. So when I took them off I religiously did this regime (Apply 1 coat on day 1, apply second coat on day 2, take off on day 7 and repeat.) By using this product slowly but surely my nails did get a lot stronger much faster than I had expected. They didnt harden over 2 weeks but after about a month they were noticeably better. 

I really recommend this product, I wear 2 coats of this for Monday-Friday for school and then paint my nails with a design for the weekend. This routine makes my nails really strong and healthy looking. I always thought that if you always wear nail polish your nails would be really unhealthy and weak but they are actually the opposite! It's great. 

This products retails for £4.49 and you can buy it here. You can probably but it at supermarkets too :)

Gel Nails Experience

Hey guys so I never told you but in October 2012 I got gel nails done. I wasn't blogging at the time so I thought it would be fine to get them done, I thought they looked so nice and everyone had them done so why not join in?
*Please note the pictures in this blog post are pretty crap as I took these pictures randomly and not for a blog post*

I took this picture at the bus stop and with my iPod touch which is awful quality haha, but you get the jist of it. So I got some sort of fake nail with gel nail polish on it. It did look a lot better than the acrylic nails that other people have got. 

This picture has been cropped so that's why it looks a bit strange. As you can see they look really natural and you cant see where they put the fake bit on. They lasted about a month, they could have lasted longer but I was getting annoyed with how long they were getting.

Getting them off was the worst part, you literally have to pull them off or soak them in acetone WHICH DOESN'T EVEN WORK! It took me so many hours to file them down and try and scrape them off with a nail tool. Personally it wasn't worth all the damage it did to my nails, but I guess that's just because I am obsessed with my nails.

Easy and Cute Nail Art for Toes!

Hey guys so I found a really good tutorial on different toe nail tutorials which you must watch! I normally just paint one solid colour for my toes, I can never usually be bothered to do designs but now I'm going to start because it looks really cute and professional.

I tried one of them and I really liked how it turned out, it looks like I got them done at a nail salon aha! It is a 'missjenfabulous' tutorial I will be trying out the other designs from the video and if you want a blog post of my other designs just comment below! You can watch the video I am talking about here:

Models Own Banana Split Swatch! Pastel Yellow Nail Polish

Hey guys woop woop second day in a row of posting! Going to get back into blogging now! I actually did these nails a few days ago but have just got around to posting it now. :)

I got this nail polish back at the start of summer, I really wanted it as I saw so many people raving about it on youtube and instagram.

This is the polish swatch. It is not very pigmented when you put it on, you need about 3 coats to get a solid colour but you could get away with only 2 coats it would just be a little patchy.

The scented part is slightly ridiculous, the top of the bottle is a scratch and sniff which does smell like those banana sweets. But your nails really don't smell like bananas they just smell like chemicals, sorry to disappoint! 

Overall, I like it but there is probably a better and more pigmented version on the market and when I find a good one I'll blog about it!

Simple Blue Rhinestone Nail Art

Hey guys so I did these nails about 2 weeks ago and I'm so sorry I'm so inconsistent with posts I have been so busy as school started this week. I will be back at regular posts in a week or two when I have all of my homework handled!

Any ways I loved these nails I never use rhinestones and I have a whole wheel so I thought I would use them for a change. This was a really simple look it didn't take much effort at all.

These are the nails. I used Essie protein base coat followed by 3 coats of Barry M Blue Moon. The rhinestones I used were dark blue ones from a wheel which you can buy here for only £1.39.

 I applied them with a bit of topcoat on my nail to act as glue and then I placed the rhinestones on them with tweezers. If you want you can put a bit of top coat/clear nail polish on the tweezers so you can pick up the rhinestones better. There is also a great tutorial on how you can apply rhinestones by JulieG713 which you can watch here.
