Valentines Nail Designs❤

Hey readers! 
So we all know valentines is right around the corner! If you going out, and need to jazz up your nails I've made some cute designs. Pretty easy for you to do yourself. 

First design. 
You will need;
-A white nail varnish shade, I use Models Own Snow White.
-Some red glitter dust. 
- A clear topcoat. 

To start off with I buffed and smoothed my nail with a buffer block. You can purchase a buffer block on eBay for 99p! I use models own one. 
Once nails are nice and smooth, apply your shade of white. Make sure it's nice and thick. Just like paper white! Then whilst you nails are still slightly wet, use a makeup brush, apply some red glitter to the brush, hold you nails upside down and apply the glitter to the bottom of each nail dabbing gently. (Don't apply too much pressure as the polish will stick to the brush and it will get very messy.) I would recommend you do this over some tissue paper of even a piece of paper, to catch the loose glitter, and avoid making a mess. 
Once the glitter is applied, use your white polish again to cover up any loose glitter that's fallen on the top part of your nail. Just to make it look a bit tidier. 
Once this is complete wait for your nails to completely dry, either using express dry or just waiting. Once dry, apply one layer of clear top coat, to keep the glitter in place. 
And that's it! Done! Here's how mine look. 


Second design. 
 You will need;
- a post box red shade. I use Models Own HyperGel Red Lustre. 
-black rhinestones
-picker pencil
-clear top coat
-nail glue

To start off with I again smoothed and buffed my nails. Once done, I applied my Red shade all over, making it nice and thick and a block colour.
Once dried I done one nail at a time, I applied a very thin layer of clear nail glue, then applying the black rhinestones using a picker pencil. (If you use rhinestones a lot purchase yourself a picker pencil, saves time and make the process very easy.) apply your rhinestones in either a "X" or a "O" simple really. Make sure your glue is still tacky! 
Once all rhinestones are applied, apply a very thin layer of nail glue just to keep them in place, as we all know how frustrating it is loosing one little rhinestone! 
Then once the glue is dry apply a top coat for a lovely finished shine. 
And that's it your done! 
Here's how mine looked. 


Hope you enjoyed my valentines designs!

Modelsown bubblegum

Hi readers! 
Another half price purchase here! models own Bubblegum from the Neon collection. 
This colours is so pink it hurts my eyes. This is what you wear if you love and I mean LOVE pink. 
I didn't realise just how pink it was until I went outside!
It's a lovely shade don't get me wrong but a little too bright for me! I will probably use this one for designs mainly.
I was a bit weary buying from the neon collection at first but now I know why haha, I like bright colours but this is son etching else! 
The picture does it no justice But here you go. 
Like I said if your a pink lover go for it, if not so much, i would stay away. 

Hope I helped haha

Modelsown Snow White and purple haze

I wanted to try out purple haze on a light ba kg round and how perfect that I bought 'snow white' at the same time. 
Both these shades I got for half price at just £2.50 each on models own website during a 50% sale they had.
So can I just say that I have wanted a pure white shade for a while now. And this was just what I was looking for. My only negative comment about Snow White is that you need to be consistent with your strokes and it takes quite a few coats for a perfect pure white all over.
Once I managed it they looked amazing. 
I then went and added just a small part of purple haze to the top if the nails. 
Purple haze was actually quite thick which is what I like in glitter shades. 
It's so pretty and sparkly great for a night out. 
Here's what my design looked like. 
I finished with a top coat from modelsown.
I was so happy with both these 2 shades and will be doing lots more designs with them. 
Thanks for reading.

Models Own - Red Lustre HyperGel

Hi readers! 
I have been so excited to try out models own HyperGel! I wasn't too sure on most of the shades but I went for the Res Lustre shade! It is beautiful! 
So these HyperGel shades are meant to give off the gel effect. Without using UV! 
And it actually works!
I got mine on a 50% sale models own were doing and it only cost me £2.50!
And you can't really go wrong at that price! 
The liquid is so bright and shiny! I was very shocked with just how good it came out. It's the typical post box red! But shinier! 
I didn't use a top coat, as I was just testing it out. Here's how it looks..
Very shiny, very RED, and a lovely finish. ❤
I hope you enjoy, I would defiantly recommend you buy this! You won't be let down.
Thankyou!

Avon NailWear Pro. Deep red and glitter.

Hi everyone!
So the other day my mum bless her found some nail varnishes she bought from Avon a while back, that she has never opened. She kindly gave them to me. As I love to try any nail varnish and give them a go! 
The deep red colour is called - Tweed.
The glitter one is called - Opalesce. The glitter one is also a top coat. 

The bottles are decent size both at 12ml. 

I unfortunately don't know if they are still for sale in Avon, and my mum couldn't remember how much they were. If your a regular Avon customer, you may know? 

I don't usually buy from Avon due to past purchases gone wrong. Blah blah blah.

So here's what they look like. 

So I did the basic design, the dark red with the glitter on top. I didn't have to use a clear top coat as the glitter acts as a pretty good top coat. 

I was really happy with both shades, I personally am not a fan of dark shades of red like Burgundy. But this shines and looked quite good. The liquid itself was quite thick but flowed well, and I used one coat. 

The glitter top coat was perfect and I can see myself using this one quite a lot. I has pleasantly surprised with this one from Avon. Here's a close up. 
It kind of has a blue shimmer to it in the light. Which is very cute. Would love to try this with some blue shades. 

Here's the finishing look. 
Hope you like.

Barry m with pink diamonds

Playing with rhinestones. :D
So I think you all know I love Barry M black nail polish. I'm going to need a new bottle soon!
Pretty straight forward design.
I don't think it need much explaining. 
I applied pink rhinestones to the bottom of each nail making a small curve. Very cute. You will need nail glue for this!!!
And apply a layer of top coat just for extra strength. 
Here how it looks...
Hope you enjoy reading.
