stripes

My mum got two nail polishes in one of the Christmas crackers i made her for Christmas and wanted to wear them both. So, i decided to use the No.7 colour as the base and then used the Avon Lucky Penny nail polish to do a strip. This is what she wanted me to do. I wasn't overly keen on it to be honest and neither was my brother, but its what she wanted and she liked it:

What does everyone else think of this?

Twist and Out

Following the release of the Bourjois magic nail polish remover, priced at £4.99, several other companies have released their own version of this product.

On a recent trip in a Savers chemist in Magherafelt, i noticed a product similar to the Bourjois magic nail polish remover. It was called Twist and Out:

And priced at 75p, how could i refuse to try this! I was skeptical at first, thinking, that at that price, it wouldn't be worth much, but i put my hands up and admit i was totally wrong! This has to be one of the best bargains i have bought recently! It doesn't dry out my nails like normal nail polish remover does. I even managed to convince my mum to try it and this is how her nails looked after using it:

 Instead of drying out the nails, it leaves a shine on them. The only downside to this product is it has quite a strong smell to it, so i would advise using it in a well ventilated room.

Has anyone else tried this product or a similar one?

Snowmen nail art

My mum and my aunt both have an obsession with  snowmen. So, on Christmas day, i attempted to do some snowmen on my nails. I used Models Own Blue Moon for the base colour and then using white Barbara Daly nail polish from Tesco and black and orange nail art pens, i drew the snowmen.

Did anyone else do some snowmen nail art over Christmas?

Janchristie christmas nail art stickers

I don't think i will ever stop being a fan of the lovely ladies at janchristie. i have a huge collection of their nail art stickers because they are great quality stickers, really easy to use, and of course, the stickers are pictures of cute animals! In early December, i purchased some Christmas themed nail art stickers and wore them on a night out in Derry with the girlies.

I picked the grey tabby and the robin Christmas stickers:

For the glitter on my thumb nail, i used a lovely Models own red glitter on top of a red by Collection 2000. Did anyone else purchase some Christmas nail art stickers from janchristie or anywhere else?

Getting into the Christmas spirit with rudolph and some reindeers

Its 3 weeks today until Christmas day, I have most of my shopping done, i saw the Coca Cola Advert last night and i decided to paint my nails with a Christmas theme. It's offically Christmas for me! Im getting super excited :)  Here's a photo of the nail art i done last night, of some reindeers, including Rudolph!

I used Models Own Nude Beige for the base colour, then Collection 2000's Hot looks Moda for the reindeer, and for Rudolphs nose, i used Models Own Scarlet Sparkle. The rest was done with my black and white nail art pens from Ebay.

Has anyone else been doing Reindeer/ Rudolph/ Christmas themed nail art yet?

Update:

My reindeer nails have been featured in More Magazines mani's of the week section on their facebook page. really chuffed :)

Belfast Giants Ice Hockey
