Snowflake Nails

                                                Hi guys :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! hope you all enjoyed your celebrations, its crazy its 2012 lol!!

I really wanted to share with you the nails I designed and wore over the Christmas period. Really love them and everyone was really impressed with them :) but between you and me they where pretty easy too!! so you can def recreate them. Hope you like them.
                                        xxxx Love Katie xxxx

  Step 1: I painted my nails with a base coat. This is specially important if you are using a dark colour so wont stain your nail underneath.

Step 2: I chose a mid-dark blue,and fully painted each nail.

Step 3: Pour some silver polish on some paper or card. Using a small sponge dab it into the polish then straight to the tip of your nail. The sponge gives you a speckled effect. You want to concentrate mostly on the tip then lightly dab it a few times up the nail  to spread out the silver specks.

Step 4: Using a white nail art brush or pen you want to draw a cross like this X in the middle of your nail the a line straight down the middle. Will look like a star.

Step 5: At the end of each line flick out two tiny lines, bit like an arrow. You have the perfect snow flack :)

Add a good top coat for protection and shine.

And your finish!!                             Beautiful winter wonderland nails xxx

                                                                  Hey Lovelies,
I know its a bit late, like a lot but wanted to share my November favourites. Here I'll show 5 things that I have loved and used through out this month. I've chosen 3 make up related products, 1 general beauty and the last fashion. I'll add my youtube video down below so can get more of an ideas on my thought on each of them.

Also will put close up picture of each one to. Hope this helps and maybe get some new ideas :)

Polishes for Presents

                                                                Hey my lovelies,
As its the 1st of December (I'm so excited ;)!!!!)  thought I would share with you great nail polish deal I discovered. Its from the brand Beauty UK which you can find in store like Select and Superdrug. Also online with free UK shipping. Till 23/12/11 there is 25% on everything you purchase online with this
code:  XMAS25 . Always love a discount!!!

The deal is spend over £5 and get a free professional salon nail varnish 14ml. There are 36 colours to choose from including glitter polish too.But the £5 you spend for this deal is across the whole beauty range.

What grabbed me to this deal was there new nail gift sets with 6 small nail varnishes 8ml. There are 4 different sets you can choose from with different colours and shades.

I picked the brightly coloured wild child set.

These nail varnishes are really thick which is good for the bight colours as very pigmented and you only need 1 coat. They are a bit tricky to paint on but if you stick with it, its worth the long lasting results. I haven't tried this idea out yet but I think this polish will be good for Konad stamping. Will see and  keep you posted!!!

Here's a close up of the colours:

        

             

                                                                         

          

This colour above is more of a coral colour and the 3rd polish picture looks very similar to this one but is definitely a red !!! The camera and the lighting just couldn't pick up the colour sorry guys!

The free nail polish I chose, and also used in my Indian Inspired nail art tutorial is called Eletric Purple

 





After buying beauty UK salon professional nail varnish I will be getting another very soon hehe :) !!! Is really good quality and great colour for the price.Usual price is: £2.49

Hope you like this post maybe helps with buying some beauty gifts for your girly friends or family. Remember the 25% discount ;)
