I ordered these from eBay a while ago and have had plenty of time to try them out. I really like them because they give a much more precise dot than the sharpened pencil I was using before. Very cheap at £1.39 for frive including P&P and the different sizes are good too, doesnt make that much of a difference though.
Thought I ought to post some photos showing what you can do with these. You dont have to just do dots though, you can use it for moving the polish around on the nail in to other patterns.
This is a little nicer I think than the version without the glitter on. Much more suitable for this time of year as well!
Was really quite strange doing nail art on someone else's hands, although it was so much more easier than doing it on yourself.
﻿So these three, pudding, present and snowman are all more bloopers really! Didn't turn out too well! But as they say practice makes perfect!
I thought I would attempt something free handed again, I painted all of my nails with ELF's Metal Madness other than my two ring fingers. The design on my right ring finger is clearly more simple because I am not so good with my left hand. Perhaps practice as they say makes perfect?
I am more of a yule person myself and thought I would just post my eye of the day make up I did for the 21st.﻿
So I used shades 7 and 8 for this eye look from the Primark Saint or Sinner palette below. Not usually one for sparkle, which is why I ended up getting a super cheap one! Seeing as it is the festive season I threw caution to the wind!
Okay girls there is something I have came across in my hunt for a holy grail deep hair conditioner and that is with the following Aussie 3 Minute Miracle﻿ Conditioners...
So I am around 99% sure that both of these conditioners are actually the same product in different packaging.
The ingredients are above and although some of them are in different order they are actually the same. Now I am not saying anything particularly good or bad about this other than the fact it is a little bit false advertising.
I hope you like these, they didn't turn out perfect by any means but hopefully you can see what I was aiming for with the earring that was my inspiration!
Oh did anyone else see the lunar eclipse this morning? I saw some of it but then the sky clouded over.
So after having a blond moment as to what the point in a nail wheel was I thought I would bite the bullet and buy some. Having painted it with my polishes it is already helping me select the right colours and making sure I dont forget about some colours!
Having seen the Illamasqua Nail Quills I quite liked the look, something a little bit different for the festive season. However £35 for two false nails is well out of my budget. Luckily Klaire de Lys has done a tutorial and now I have my very own set of Nail Quills for parties over the festive season.
Once you have painted a couple of coats of black and waited for that to dry then you need to stick some sticky tape on to create the silver shape
What I like about doing it yourself is not only is it a lot cheaper they also fit your thumb nails exactly where as the Illamasqua ones might not do. Besides if you get a little tipsy and loose one you wont mind so much!
My first attempt at painting false nails! I think that they do need tidying up a little but my nail art pens are still in the post. I had some time on my hands and thought I would do it. Quite cute I think!
They say ~ Apply to the lash line alone, under or over eyeshadow as desired. Create a special occasion smoky eye by lining both upper and lower lash lines, blending and smudging out for a colourful, trendy eye look.
I say ~ I really like how this pencil has an in built sharpener as I always find to not find one when I need it the most! Its also really nice how it is built in too. It is exceptionally creamy and goes on without dragging at all which is good for something so close to your eye. Its quite thick as well which means when it is smudged out it still is quite intense. The glitter is a nice silver colour, and isn't too intense very subtle.
I got this when it first came out in a hope that it would be the HG of cheap primers, unfortunatly it didn't live up to my expectionations.
They say ~ A velvety smooth face primer that can be worn alone or under foundation. The lightweight formula evens out complexion to give a flawless finish for long-lasting results.
Packaging is nice enough, looks quite sleek really being black and silver. The silver writing is the type which does come off easily. I also had problems with the nozzle of this popping out, would have been easy to put back in though had I of been able to find it.
Product is a thin lotion white coloured primer, it goes on easily and feels very watery in consistency. It thins out and doesn't leave a white cast on the skin at all. I waited and then applied my make up and it didn't help it apply, didn't minimise pores and most importantly didn't make my make up stay on any longer than it would of had I of not used a primer. The scent isn't offensive, very much a typical 'unscented' scent.
Overall I don't like this high street primer, for £4 I did expect better. I will continue to use this up though as a light moisturiser rather than a primer. For now the search is still on for the holy grail of primers on the high street.
