Avon Nail Varnishes Review

As some one who does their nails on a daily/weekly basis, depending on how busy I am, I've used a variety of different make nail varnishes, so as well as uploading pictures of my latest nail art creations, I decided I'd also start doing reviews.
To kick start, I have decided to review Avons Nailwear Pro collection.
One thing I look for when choosing nail varnish is obviously the colour and Avon does not disappoint! With a selction of Pastels, Vibrant and Metallic colours you are left spoilt for choice. The application of the nail varnishes is easy, with the nail varnish at the perfect thickness. Not too runny, or too gloopy.(is that a word?) My only downfall of this product, is that none of the colours seem to last long before chipping, some times only lasting a day or two which can get annoying. All in all though, at £6 a bottle (or £3 when you catch them on sale) these nail varnishes are definitely worth the money! I definitely would by from this collection again!

Gradient Nails

For this bit of nail art, I used all avon colours to create a pretty gradient look. To create this look yourself, i have found 2 techniques that work!

Technique 1.
For this technique you will need:-

• 2 colours of your choice. Preferably a light and a dark colour. 
• Glitter Top Coat
• Clear Base Coat
• a triangular sponge 
• A toothpick
• Cotton Wool Buds

1. To begin, paint your nails with your clear base coat, to prevent the nail varnish from staining your nail.
2. Paint your nail with the lighter colour of the two you have chosen.
3. Using some sort of plastic surface (I use the lid of a storage box that can be wiped clean with acetone) pour some of each colour on and using the tooth pick, blend/swirl the touching ends together.
4. Getting your sponge, place it into the nail varnish before pressing it down onto your nail. Be warned this is messy and you will get nail varnish all around your nail. This is where the cotton bud comes in! Dipped in aceton, it does wonders getting rid of it for you.
5. Once dry, paint over your glitter top coat.

Technique 2

For this technique you will need:-

• 2 colours of your choice. Preferably a light and a dark colour. 
• Glitter Top Coat
• Clear Base Coat

For technique two, start by using steps 1 and 2. You then literally just stipple the colour onto your nail before putting on your top coat. It's a lot easier! But at the same time less fun!!
