Born Pretty Store Tribal Glitter Nail Polish - Gold

I've been saving my loyalty points from Born Pretty Store and so treated myself to this very gorgeous gold Glitter Nail Polish.  It comes in a cute heart shaped bottle (12ml), it has a nice cap and brush.  The polish is a mixture of a gold base with small and large gold glitter particles with the odd bit of holo glitter thrown in.  Beautiful gold polish for party nails and it is New Year's eve after all!  There are 14 colours to choose from and I'm pretty sure I'll be buying more of these in different shades. This beautiful gold is shade 14. Check out my video below.

smART Nails Glitter French Nail Stencils - P001

PRESS SAMPLE
I'm so pleased I have these French tip stencils from smART Nails because I love French manicures but can never manage to create the perfect tip and so give up.  But these stencils are extra special because not only do they have a curved edge for the perfect French tip line, they also have a cut out section to create a contrasting trim between the tip and the base colour.  Hooruh!  These stencils are a fantastic aid to create my glitter French mani.  The stencils are only meant to be used once but I used two stencils so plenty more fun to be had and more fabulous French manis with contrasting glitter trims......Oh what to do next!   They come in a pack of 10 and there are a growing number of different designs to choose from with new designs being introduced weekly.  Simply peel off the stencil from the backing paper.  The stencil is transparent so you can see exactly where to place it on the nail.  Press onto your dry nail and make sure there are no air bubbles.  Apply your contrasting polish and immediate remove the stencil.  Wait for the tip to completely dry then replace the stencil back onto your nail and paint the glitter trim.
I highly recommend these stencils because they are easy, effective, fun, inexpensive and a great way to decorate you nails.   Check out my video demonstration below.

These cute Red Heart Water Decals are from KKCenterHk.  There are 5 different heart designs which are in strips on the card which means you can cut out any part of the pattern for your mani, there's also a little bit of glitter on some of hearts.  On my thumb and middle finger I used 2 different strips at the same time.  I've applied them over a neutral beige cream nail polish.  Elegant designs which give an interest to your nails. If you've never tried water decals before give them a go, they are very easy and you can achieve fabulous looking nail designs.  Simply soak in a little pot of water for 20 seconds, peel away from the backing paper, apply to your painted nails and seal with top coat.

Nails Inc Kabaret

I got a tip off from a Facebook chum that Savers are selling sets of Nail Inc nail polish 3 for £3.99!  How seriously bonkers!  So off I marched to my local Savers and bought 2 sets, 5 of the polishes being special effects/glitters/toppers with the other being this baby - Nails Inc Kabaret.  It's a colour that's been knocking around for a while but I don't have it so lucky lucky me!  The formulation for this one is quite thin, took 3 coats and in real life looks like a flat dark polish, however my camera flash makes the blue shimmer pop. To the Pics.............

So did you get any sets from Savers?  If so what did you get?

smART Nails Stencils - P017 - Big Teeth

PRESS SAMPLE
Today's mani is kind of Christmas themed, it reminds me of an exploding party popper or cracked Christmas cracker.  Firstly I painted my nails pink (Nella Milano Cherry Bon Bon) and then added a black and silver confetti polish  (Nails Inc Brick Lane).  Onto the 'flashes' which were created using smART Nails stencils P017 called Big Teeth.  I painted the silver on top first and waited for it to completely dry before using the stencil again slightly covering the silver teeth jagged edge and painting black on top of the silver.  The stencils are only meant to be used once but I used one stencil to do all the silver and one to do all the black on one hand, and I'll still be able to reuse them.  The stencils come in a pack of 10 and there are a growing number of different designs to choose from with new designs being introduced weekly.  Simply peel off the stencil from the backing paper.  The stencil is transparent so you can see exactly where to place it on the nail.  Press onto your dry nail and make sure there are no air bubbles.  Apply your contrasting polish and immediate remove the stencil.
