NOTD Nails of the Day + H&M Nailpolishes

Ive been doing a bit of shopping for an upcoming event (more about that in a few days. VERY exciting!) and while looking around in H&M this little nailpolish trio caught my eye. I have never really tried H&M beauty products or nailpolishes before so I wasn't really sure what to expect. By the way the colour variety they have is pretty amazing.
So coming back to this little trio. How perfect is this for autumn/winter? Berry shades are big in the coming season and I thought these would be great to wear in the wintery months as well as add an exciting pop of colour rather than wearing dull and boring shades.

The trio contains a really nice deep plum, Lilac Plum (my fav!), a red, Red Head (perfectestest red ever!) and a slightly dark pink (Pink Preppy). They apply really well and really smoothly and just one coat does the trick. I have one coat of Lilac Plum on my nails at the moment and I am sure I don't own any similar shades to this!

I wanna know though, what are your favourite shades for the upcoming AW season?

NOTD - Nails Of The Day: Louboutin French Mani

Well, if I can't have a pair of the real deal, might as well be wearing it in some way right? Thought I would give my own twist to the regular (boring?) french mani and what better combination than red and black!

I used Barry M Black for the base and 17 cosmetics Knockout Red for the tips.

NOTD: Nail of the Day: MUA Love Hearts

This is the first time I have tried on this colour since I got it by the very generous people at Superdrug in my goody bag at the Superdrug press event.
Now, ok. Let me address a major problem I have with this right now: the formulation. Considering that I have never even opened this before, I know this has not dried up or anything. The application is VERY streaky to say the least!
Anyway, I managed to apply maybe two or three coats PLUS my top coat (That save the day!)
It ended up looking great ofcourse, but I know I will think twice if I want to apply this again.
Was looking forward to a summery colour :(

So here it is:

NOTD: Nail of the Day - Cracked Red

My friend Nada was over the other day and asked me to do her nails. Since she is really in the red nail polish phase, she definitely wanted a bright red. I decided to do with Knockout Red by 17 but wanted to make it more interesting so added a gold shatter nail polish (by OPI). We thought it looked great, what do you guys think?

How to: Remove Glitter Nailpolish

Hey everyone, today's blogpost is a little different than usual. Its more of a tutorial/how to.

I watched Misschievous's video a couple of months ago on how to remove glitter nail polish and knew I had to try if I ever had glitter nail polish on, as it is a pain to take off. 

If you saw my previous Nail of the Day where I got my nails done by the Andrea Fulerton reps, you probably noticed the glitter dust that was used. Although it has lasted me more than a week without anything even near to chipping, I got a little bored and wanted to change it up and decided to finally take it off. 

Step 1: Obviously you will have glitter on your nails.

Step 2: Cut 10 rectangular sized strips of normal kitchen foil and cut 5 cotton pads into half.

Step 3: Soak it in nail polish remover

Step 4: You will now make sure you have a fully soaked cotton pad.

 

Step 5: Wrap the cotton pad around your nail.

Step 6: Secure it properly with the foil so it is fully covered and tight.

Step 7: Do the same with all the nails and wait for about 2 minutes or so.

Step 8: Just slide the foil+cotton off your nail (you dont really need to rub, but if you had ALOT of glitter, just twist it off lightly) 

And you're done! If you use a cuticle cream or nourishing treatment this will be a good time to put it in a leave it on for a bit before you move on. I used the ELF nourishing cuticle pen because it isnt too oily and is a good quick fix.

I hope you liked this post and let me know if you would like to see more of these "how to" posts for nails/makeup/clothes.
