Teal Glitter Nails

I fancied something a bit different and glittery with my nails so I went for a teal nail look.

It's super easy and simple!

I've not really ever used this nail polish before although I got it after Xmas in the Boots half price sale it's a beautiful colour it's by Henry Holland it was in a gift set so I'm not sure you can buy it separately... The glitter I got ages ago at the 2011 IMATS! It seems like only yesterday I went there but I'd absolutely love to go again it was defiantly amazing! The glitter is by NYX - 05 Summer Breeze, I don't think I'll ever ever ever use it all up.

Here's how to create this look:

Step 1: apply a base coat (I just used Barry M clear nail polish)

Step 2: apply 2 coats of your preferred colour (wether it be teal or not...I used a Henry Holland nail polish, but it doesn't have a name)

Step 3: when dry apply a top coat (again I just used the Barry M one)

Step 4: when wet dip the nail into the pot of glitter and roll it side to side to cover the whole nail, slowly remove the nail from the pot and tap off the excess glitter over the pot. (I used NYX 05 Summer Breeze)

^ it's best to do the glitter on some sort of bored or folder that you can easily slide the glitter off and into the bin (as it does get quite messy!)

Step 5: apply 2 coats of top coat to seal in the glitter, it also helps give it a nice glossy finish.

Nails!

So today I went into Boots just to buy some nail strengthener, as I'm trying to grow my nails but they were getting a little weak!

Recently I've been really into doing my nails - usually I just painted fake ones but at £6 a time for the nails they'd just drop off after a week or two at most and the glue would ruin your nails! ugh! So I'm growing my own out - which is hard because I used to bite them, I'm trying not to now but it's difficult! :(

In Boots they didn't have the one I wanted so instead I brought the Sally Hensen Hard as Nails - I hope that it works!



I will do a review to see if it makes a difference in a few weeks! It was about £5 and with the first use It seemed pretty good I applied two coats and It really did smooth the nails from the ridges also it dried quickly!!

Also from Boots I got a Henry Holland nail set at half price because they still have some of the Christmas stock in on sale! The nail polish bottles are super cute! They're little houses!! It also comes with a nail buffer! I also got myself some Rimmel nail polish in 415 Instyle Coral....

I firstly applied two coats of the Sally Hensen Hard as Nails as a base coat, when that had dried I went onto apply a coat of the Rimmel Coral colour I love the brushes on the Rimmel nail polishes as they are much bigger/wider than the usual ones! I applied three coats of this when the nails had dried I then applied the Rimmel clear polish as a top coat!


The Result.... Super Glossy, Gel like nails! I absolutely LOVE the colour it reminds me of summer!
