Glitter Nails!

I am a full on girly girl. I love anything pink. Anything fluffy. Anything girly. But most of all, anything sparkly!! I also love to portray me in what i wear on my nails. My mood, feelings, emotions, or just plain and simply, me! So what is the best way for me to do this? Glitter nail varnish! Yay!! Its these simple things in life that make me smile :) I however have always struggled finding a good bold glitter, you know one that completely covers the nail and not leave loads of see through gaps? 

Every christmas/birthday, my auntie buys me a set of Nails Inc miniatures! I love them. Love Love Love!! I spend ages trying out each colour. The most recent collection bought for me was 'The Stylist.' Its retail price is £15 and it includes 5 glitter/metallic varnishes and the gold one in particular has captured my heart completely and when I've run out, I will most definitely go in search for a larger bottle. Its application is smooth and easy and gives you a perfect glam glittery look after 2 coats. It is a nightmare to get off but with any glitter this is obviously to be expected! If you love glitter varnishes, give this one a go! Yes, Nails Inc can be expensive but the good quality makes up for that!

Do you have any recommendations for a good glitter nail varnish at better high street prices? I'd love to hear!!!

Barry M Nail Varnish Review

Now, as some of you will already know from previous posts, I have never been a fan of Barry M! Not that I ever found any problems! I just simply wouldn't use them as the price put me off and I always thought that to be so cheap they must lack in quality, but this week, when there was an offer on for money off when bought with the nail art pens used in my previous post I just had to give them a go and you know what? I was really pleased I did! 

The application of these nail varnishes is easy with the nice brush included but you do need to use a minimum of 2 coats for a bold, opaque colour! This however isn't a problem for me as I do this anyway, but a lot of people don't. The range of colours is endless and for nail artists like me, a large colour range is a must! The other thing that really impressed me about these bad boys is that they don't seem to chip very quickly! Win! All in all, starting at just £2.99 these are definitely worth the buy! The china glaze queen has officially been converted!!!!

Barry M Nail Art Pens

                   

After years of struggling with unsteady hands and thin brushes that almost never go the way you want them to go, I think I have finally found the perfect solution! Barry M Nail Art Pens! Now all though on the outside these don't look all that special, like the old saying says "don't judge a book but its cover!" These things are definitely the new essential for your nail kit!!!

                  

As you can see from the picture, these pens are just like the handwriting ones you used to have in school which makes them super easy to use, and leaving you with the ability to simply draw straight onto your nail as easily as a piece of paper! These handy little pens fill me with so much inspiration I am spoilt for choice and you too will never be short of ideas for fashionable nail art ever again!

At the retail price of just £4.99 these little beauties are definitely something worth having in your kit and I can promise you you won't regret the purchase! I would however strongly recommend that when used, you cover with a top coat as without this your design will chip and fade in a matter of hours!!!!

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!
