Nails Inc Kensington Caviar Basecoat & Topcoat Duo

Hello lovlies, I hope you all had an amazing weekend. I'm had a lazy Sunday watching The Vampire Diaries whilst being dosed up in antibiotics for an ear infection :-(

A few weeks ago I made a product suggestion to Feel Unique - my favourite website in the whole world- as I couldn't find a product I was looking for (Urban Decay) Anyhoo to my great suprise I received a lovely e-mail a couple of days ago telling me that my feedback had been chosen to win a £20 voucher - wahoo!

Immediatley I logged in and ordered this amazing duo from Nails Inc, whose products I lust after on a daily basis. My parcel arrived speedily and I can't wait to try it out :-) watch this space for my review shortly.

Much love xx

A little bit of hard work does pay off!

A little bit of boredom and a streak of creativity work wonders sometimes.

A little how to for you lovelies..

Paint a basecoat on.
Choose your base colour - I chose a light shimmery colour.
Splodge on random blobs of bright colours.
Wait for it to dry - I chose this time to watch a bit of Vampire Diaries. *big smile*
Line the splodges with a black nail art pen.
Add a topcoat, glitter if you wish - and voila - gorgeous fun nails!

Deborah Lippman I Love The Nightlife Nail Polish - Review

Isn't this nail polish gorgeous? It's my first one from Deborah Lippman, and I'm stunned by the massive chunks of glitter :-) It's best teamed with a slick of coloured polish underneath and a good topcoat as the glitter tends to dry with rough texture. Priced at £16 it's one of the pricier nail polishes I own, but I think it's worth every penny!

p.s don't you think I'm totally improving with my photography? Photo shoot in the kitchen don'tcha know ;-)

Minx Nail Wraps

Ok so here goes, my first review. I'm actually multi tasking and attempting to watch Hollyoaks too. I've recently had a little obsession with all things nail based from varnish to glitter, cheap nail wraps and even trying my hand at nail art. There's nothing like an in-salon finish, however i'm on a bit of a budget and like to try things myself.

Although there are many cheaper nail wraps out there Minx does have the best reputation and many salons charge around £30 to apply them.

(for those that have never heard of nail wraps or Minx - they are basically very think vinyl like heat applied strips that contain intricate patterns that cannot be achieved through nail art alone, and have a reputation for being much more durable and longer lasting than nail varnish)

I found these beauties on ebay, and literally took 20 minuted to trim to size and apply with the heat of the hairdryer to my own nails. I'm very heavy handed and these lasted around a week for me before they started to lift at the edge. Very impressive as usually nail varnish only lasts a day or two on me without chipping. :-)
