Im back!

Hey Everyone!

So I got back form Ireland a few days ago and have something to share with you!

So obviously I like doing nail art but one thing i hate is finishing a mani then having to go out or do some housework (bore) and then having my freshly painted nails smudging, sticking and getting ruined no matter how careful I am. So i through the years i have tried many quick dry sprays, top coats, even tried using the hair dryer in times of desperation, but back to the point, whilst I was in Ireland I came across a cosmetics brand called Essence. I have never seen this brand in England but im pretty sure you can get it somewhere, and what I found was by far the best quick dry helper EVER. This product is called nail art express dry drops and the come in a little bottle with a dropper instead of a brush. I couldn't believe how good they were when I first used it especially considering it cost about 3 euros. If using these drops your mani will literally be touch dry and smudge free within a few seconds and so by the time you have applied the drops to each nail the first few will already be dry!

Tri Colour Braided Nails

Hey Everyone, 


So early tomorrow I will be heading back to IRELAND for the first time in ages!!!!
This means that I wont be posting for a whole week, Sorry!

But I thought I would leave you with a Irish inspired design, I chose to do braided nails as i have seen these around a lot lately and there is a link to a tutorial here. The Irish part of the design is the tri colours of the flag that i used to do the design.


So here we have Tri Colour Braided Nails!

Union Jack

Hello everyone!

So Great Britain got our first GOLD today! Woohoo! So I decided to go with a union Jack design on my nails.

So here we have....Union Jack nails!

I used Barry M's for all the bases in 'Matt White', 'Bright Red' and 'Navy Blue'.  The Glitter on the tips is just some cheap stuff that I've had for years now and the rhinestones I bought on Amazon.

Hope you all like and are enjoying the olympics!

See you all soon!

Olympic Rings

Hello Everyone,

Today I am back with an Olympics inspired design for you all, living in England means im never far away from someone waving the flag or talking about the Olympics so I decided to use it as inspiration for this design.

So here we have the Olympic rings

I used Sally Hansen Insta-Dry in 'Silver Sweep' for the base and center of the rings, this really is the best silver polish I have ever bought by far, you need one coat for a completely opaque look and it dries in seconds. I used all Barry M's for the ring colours (you can probably tell by now I am a fan of Barry M!) The colours used were  Turquoise, Yellow, Black, Spring Green and Bright Red.

I created this design using dotting tools by using the biggest one to make five circles on the nails in all the colours and then using a smaller one and filling the circles with the silver polish to make them look like rings. I did try using straws for this design the first time (dipping the end into some  polish then printing it on the nail) but found it to be quite messy for a design that needed to look controlled and in the end it was a lot easier and less messy using the dotting tools although it may have taken slightly longer the overall outcome was better.

Hope you all enjoy and are having fun during the Olympics!

See you soon!! X
