Nail Of The Week.


As you've seen I have a hype about MUA products lately, I've finally found five minutes to start reviewing a few products.
I can happily rate all their make up 100% perfect but I was very wary with their nail polishes for £1 I was expecting a very heavy water based product that would be near on rubbish, or take at least 10 coats to look effective BUT - I was totally wrong!!

Personally I'm so happy with the result!
I love the whole Mint Green trend and for £1 you can't really moan!
I used two coats of the MUA Nail Polish 1448 - SHADE 5 which I felt gave me perfect coverage.
I then used two coats of the Rimmel London - Your Majesty 239 on my ring fingers to add a little sparkle, this retails at around £3 which is still a bargain!

 So, what do you think?
Have you tried out any MUA products since reading my reviews, do you own any of their nail polishes?
Better yet try it out and let me know what you think!

Newspaper Nails!


Okay, so I imagine a lot of you can agree with me when I say money is rather tight at the moment - right?

Well, I've recently seen the 'Newspaper Nails' come to life again, so I thought I'd try them out. I think it's worked fantastically! It's a great, quick & easy way to add some individuality to your nails, at a great price! Everyone has old nail polishes somewhere, whether its a colour you use a lot but want to jazz it up, or a colour you're not to keen on. It works brilliantly either way!  


Here's a Tutorial on how you can create this fantastic look! 



You will need: 

- Nail Polish.
- Top Coat.
- Alcohol ( A Spirit or Rubbing Alcohol) 
- 1O cut up Newspaper pieces. 

- Nail Varnish Remover & Cotton Pads. 

.... now lets be honest, we all have these somewhere in our house! 






Step One. 
 Cleanse your nails, free of any polish or grit. 



Step Two. 


Paint your nails your desired colour. Personally I think a varnish with out glitter works best! 













Step Three. 
Dip your nail into the Alcohol for a few seconds, covering all of the nail!
(Making sure the Nail Polish was dry before hand!!)




Step Four. 
Place the Newspaper cutting over your nail, making sure to cover the whole of the nail & press firmly for 30 seconds, making sure not to move the paper. 


Step Five. 

Peel back and reveal your creation! 

Continue to do the rest of your nails using the same technique.  













Finish by covering with your favorite top coat & cleaning up around your nails with cotton wool & nail varnish remover & you're set to go!! 




















How brilliant?! 

You can vary the colour polish and you're never going to have the same print again.

Let me know how you got on with this, any advantages/disadvantages?
