Mini Hearts NOTD (Valentine's Design)

I know I haven't done a lot of blogging (or youtubing) recently but I've got a cute, quite simple little design for you today that you can create :) I thought it'd be nice for Valentine's day (whether you celebrate or not) and I do have another design which will be posted on Monday.

Step 1: Base colour coat

Begin by applying a paler, opaque shade to the nails. I used two coats of OPI Steady As She Rose.

Step 2: Draw the hearts!

Using a dotting tool, dab on two dots close to each other and then join them up at the bottom with a point to create the heart shape. Repeat with all different colours :)

Blue - Barry M Cyan Blue 294

Yellow - Topshop Bees Knees

Coral - Topshop Art School

Pink - OPI Shorts Story

Step 3: Add a top coat.

Told you it was simple :) The only fiddly bit is drawing the hearts but using a dotting tool makes it a lot easier to keep them similar sizes. 

Hope you enjoy this tutorial and have fun!

Love love and miniheartslove!!

Pink Glitter is a WINNER NOTD

I was having glitter withdrawal symptoms from the festive period so I took it upon myself to bring it back into my life via nail art of course!

* OPI Japanese Rose Garden

* Nails Inc Chelsea Square

* Inglot Nail Art Enamel in 29 White

* sealed with two costs of 17 Double Gloss Top Coat 

(but don't mind the tip wear)

This design also works great in other colours too! Here's a link to a previous post where I used blue polish and blue glitter! 

If you ever have any requests, do leave me a comment and it will get added to my list! 

Love love and pinkglitterlove!!

Clarisonic Diary - Month 1

Woops at this being late!

So it's been one month since I started using the Clarisonic. It seems longer but also shorter at the same time... I'm very used to it being in my night time routine and I haven't forgotten to use it once! 

I love the amazing feeling I get when I touch my face now. This week, the Clarisonic actually ran out its charge. You'll start to notice that at the end of the minute it does a few little extra vibrates to tell you its running low. There's about 3 minutes left before it's out of power.

I didn't know this so I just keep using it and then one day I turned it on and it just did three little vibrates :( I knew it had run out then so I didn't get to use it that day. Instead, I just did small circular motions with the brush head. I charged it that day and was able to use it the next day.

I really noticed how good it felt after a full charge! It's probably psychological, but I feel it works better after a full charge :P

My skin is definitely a lot better than it was last month. I'm so happy to have invested in a great product that is helping my skin out :)

Next update is in another month x

Love love and clarisoniclove!!

Tuxedo NOTD (Zooey Deschanel)

Zooey Deschanel (who starred in 500 Days of Summer and now plays Jess in New Girl) supported cute little tuxedos on her nails at the 2012 Golden Globes!

I recreated this look with a step-by-step tutorial for you to follow if you want to get Zooey's cute tux nails too!

Step 1: Paint your nails white

I used two coats of Revlon Nail Enamel in 050 White On White (over a base coat) to get a nice opaque snow white base.

Step 2: Black tips

Using a swipe method, I applied one coat of Rimmel I Love Lasting Finish in 080 Black Cab on the tips of my nails to create the French manicure look. 

Step 3: Buttons!

Zooey's nails actually had 3 buttons but I thought two fitted nicely on my nails. Hers also increase in size (from top to bottom) so it's up to you how you want them. I used a dotting tool to get perfect dots.

Step 4: Add the bow ties

These little bow ties are quite easy to draw. I used the nib end of my Inglot Nail Art Enamel in 36 Black two draw two rounded triangles that touch each other. You can just draw an 'x' and join up the edges, but this will be less rounded. 

You can stop here, and have a nice cream finish to the nails, just add a top coat to prevent chipping etc but being me, I had to add a little sparkle...

Step 6: Glitter top coat

I applied one layer of Nails Inc Electric Lane Holographic Top Coat to give me some extra glam to my little tuxedos! Then I used one layer of Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat (which is a new love!) to seal in my design. 

Hope you liked and enjoy the little tuxes your nails can wear!

Love love and tuxedolove!!
