Chrismas special !



Heyy Everyone

I have finally returned to the world of nails with the magic and spirit of Christmas!!!

Here I ‘present’ to you a mini series of simple nail designs that don’t take up a lot of time and leaves your nails looking magical! X

Green sparkle:
With the first design I started with something basic that consisted of a double coat of bright green followed by a coat of green glitter to add that touch of Christmas!



Sparkle And Shine:

This is my second festive design, that was created with a double coat of navy blue but the forth finger I painted 2 coats of white polish.

to add the festive shine I used a nail art brush to painted a glitter (French style) tip. however with the fourth nail I used the brush to paint glitter stripes on the nail.













Santa's Hats:
My third and final design can be created using a nail art brush and simply painting a triangle shape (with the tip of the triangle in the middle of the nail), then to create the hat element to it, I used a white nail art pen to outline the tip of my nails and used a dotting tool to paint the neat circles to look like bobbles.

 

 



So that's my mini Christmas series which I hope you all like and hope you had a very Merry Christmas! x



Beautiful And Healthy Nails! (part 2)

Beautifully Longer and Healthy Nails (part 2)

The Daily Nail Treatment!

Couple months ago my nails broke! :O, absolute disaster as I hate how my nails look when there short, however thank heaven for Internet research and 'sally Hansen' for creating the perfect polish and bringing it to the shops which specialises in  growing nails faster using daily treatment.

This is not just a polish but a miracle for my nails, as they take forever to grow a long length but not anymore! with couple of coats of polish my nails take up less than  half as much time to grow the length I want it.

 

This is the Nail polish by 'Sally Hansen' for maximum nail growth, it is obviously a daily nail treatment which I think works best without coloured polish.

It did take a couple of weeks to grow but I was amazed by the results as my nails feel stronger which is a bonus!

The nail polish is clear and colourless that also provides a healthy and shiny look.


I would recommend purchasing 'Sally Hansen' maximum cuticle growth to use with the daily nail treatment because it will make your cuticles soft and easy to deal with whilst giving a boost to growing your nails.

I hope these products are helpful to you in terms of growing your nails faster. x

Tips On How To Get Healthy Nails!

Now before I continue Blogging about My latest Nail designs. I have decided to explain some simple tips to help you Girls achieve Healthier looking Nails.

Couple of months ago my nails (mainly the tip of my nails) began to look yellow even though I always paint a base coat before I apply Nail polish every time. My nails were stained which was annoying as I love creating cute designs and experimenting with nail polish colours however caring for my nails is important part of me, so I always attempt to keep my nails in a fresh, healthy clean look. Therefore I researched online into effective nail treatments that will help my nail tips look glamorously natural again.

• Sally Hansen Instant

This can be used on its own or work as a base coat underneath a coloured polish. I recently purchased this and have already seen miracles as my nail tips are beginning to look pale white again. I think the price was less than £6 (I'm not sure) for this to work effectively I painted a fresh coat everyday, with no coloured nail polish on top. However remember that colour intensity for instance (Black, Blue, red or purple) of a nail polish can possibly damage your nails no matter if there is presence of a base coat.

Therefore I would suggest Painting at least two coats of base coat for maximum protection and prevention of stains.

• If you are not particularly keen on spending money than there is a home remedies you could try.

Equipment:

• small sized bowl
• couple slices of lemon
• 2-3 spoons of vinegar
• nearly boiled water
• nail and hand scrubbing brush

Instructions:

• Firstly  boil some water, then slowly pour into a small bowl and fill up half way.
• Secondly pour 2 spoons of vinegar and place 2 slices of lemon into the bowl.
•  Thirdly leave for a couple minutes to cool down (or pour small amount of cold water)
•  Fourthly make sure all your nails are free from polish and then place your hands into the bowl (suited to your temperature).
• Finally leave your nails in for 10 minutes whilst using the lemon and nail brush to cleanse inside and around your nails.

I usually use this technique twice a week and try to not paint my nails after the treatment (2 days) in order to give my nails a clean and fresh break.

• Hand and Cuticle cream

If you want soft and healthy cuticles you should always cream your hands in order to keep them moisturised especially in cold weather. I have always loved Nivea lotion as it really keep my hands and nails smooth and soft. In addition you can purchase cuticle oil which will keep your nails and around them soft.

• Strong and smooth

Finally, Healthy nails doesn't always mean naturally clean and white nail tips, but also strong and smooth are important aspects towards nails. Strong Nails obviously prevents your nails from breaking whilst they are growing. So if you love to show off your talent of nail designs (like me) but have weak nails then you should build their strength by applying a base coat everyday or there is Sally Hansen Nail hardener you could buy which costs around £6.

whilst your nails are growing In length and strength you should smooth your nail tips so that there is no rough edges (which cause them to chip and break) could lead to brittle and peeling. therefore when smoothing my nails I use a four sided nail file (£2.00) from boots every time I paint my nails.



well girlies These are my 5 effective top tips to get healthy nails! which I hope are helpful to you and are successful in achieving better looking nails.
