What a crazy time it's been! Not long after my last blog post I was really unwell for a number of weeks... then after that the world kinda got turned upside down with covid! (pretty sure this was why I was unwell) Sadly it's not over yet and it continues to be really difficult at work - I've never known it to be so busy and tired doesn't even cut it! It is just exhausting... BUT I'm hopeful we're getting there slowly! </p><p>In more exciting news I'm currently in the process of buying my first home with my boyfriend! </p><p>Over the last few years I've missed painting my nails and I found myself thinking about it today... <br /></p><p>So... I've decided to get back into it!

<a name='more'></a>Hey Guys!<br />
<br />
Sorry its been a while since I last posted! Just had so much going on in terms of work and personnally its been really hard to find the time to post.... I recently lost my dog Max who I've had for so long and that was really hard, Ive been ill recently too and then it has just been my birthday but esentially I've really missed nails and I wanted to get back to it. This was one of two other designs I created with the Insta Dri collection I needed to share with you<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGelNJNuxbXw-Uji9xaQIb9WTThICKAqSnuR926jLRuMvGLtJsoJLN4QImW1TJ73HkwQe4x_a0_zBV5kli_7Fcjtc6b8lAw-nBIsPw3D3aU4poxhXFv7joMM15kPJWoR9fgHeTClPbJ5c/s1600/negativespace_3974wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGelNJNuxbXw-Uji9xaQIb9WTThICKAqSnuR926jLRuMvGLtJsoJLN4QImW1TJ73HkwQe4x_a0_zBV5kli_7Fcjtc6b8lAw-nBIsPw3D3aU4poxhXFv7joMM15kPJWoR9fgHeTClPbJ5c/s640/negativespace_3974wm.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
So to create this design I used Va Va Violet and Petal to the Metal. For the negative space nails I started with a base coat, let that dry and then applied some straight nail vinyls to create the stripes. I then painted over with Va Va Violet and removed the vinyls immediately to get crisp lines. Once this dried I topped with the Sally Hansen Matte top coat and then painted the triangle with petal to the Metal freehand using a detail brush.<br />
<br />
The other nails wre just simple Va Va violet topped with a matte top coat and then the mini triangles were again painted freehand using a detail brush and Petal to the Metal. The reason I painted the triangles at the end was to keep their shine and sparkle.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcl9rjIlGdIZLqFtJsDbDcAkb0EWccgX_5M4DAKHt8vD4Zmp65eB0u0bxLRBNmwwOlHp5_Ef_JVkSjDvnN-kgQvE9PjQWCkVyzKV5ca2DdZsnPeXrIxxDB3PxAsoKoGf_e3TERfN6SqZM/s1600/negativespace_3987wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcl9rjIlGdIZLqFtJsDbDcAkb0EWccgX_5M4DAKHt8vD4Zmp65eB0u0bxLRBNmwwOlHp5_Ef_JVkSjDvnN-kgQvE9PjQWCkVyzKV5ca2DdZsnPeXrIxxDB3PxAsoKoGf_e3TERfN6SqZM/s640/negativespace_3987wm.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
So thats it! What do you guys think? I'm really happy with them they were easy to create but I think look really effective<br />

<a name='more'></a>Hey Guys!<br />
<br />
As promised here is the first of my nail art I created with the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri shades that were very kindly gifted to me by the lovely Sally Team.<br />
<br />
I went with a quick and easy design that anyone can create; an alternative french tip mani.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqCmXCZeSYPr7pTY4YKvtOhdKxOsEaD9tJCnD9DblVjI4piLvyVtVLdLsjCRo9PBvnajCu3mu27ZP9S5tW0vojJEarHezImbVJntdy5texZi2AGrfKJMJn-r0NDaAN6uZ8MSGjRx8XXAs/s1600/frenchtip_3946wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqCmXCZeSYPr7pTY4YKvtOhdKxOsEaD9tJCnD9DblVjI4piLvyVtVLdLsjCRo9PBvnajCu3mu27ZP9S5tW0vojJEarHezImbVJntdy5texZi2AGrfKJMJn-r0NDaAN6uZ8MSGjRx8XXAs/s640/frenchtip_3946wm.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The shades I used were Peach Buzz and Peachy Breeze and I literally swiped them across the end of my nail using the brush from the polish bottle. I then topped with my Sally Hansen Insta-Dri top coat.<br />
<br />
If you missed my swatches of the collection you can find them <a href="http://www.polishisthenewblack.com/2019/08/sally-hansen-insta-dri-swatches-review.html#more" target="_blank">HERE</a> <br />

I hope you all have a lovely weekend!<br />

<a name='more'></a>Hey Guys!<br />
<br />
So I'm back with another collaboration with the Sally Hansen team. Today I have the summer Insta Dri collection to share with you all and I'm super excited!!<br />
<br />
These polishes are super pigmented and are designed to be fast drying as the name implies. They could easily be a one coater but I did apply a couple of coats for good measure. Now I do always try to be careful when applying polishes but so many times I catch a nail by accident and I've smudged it. While I was applying these I did catch a nail at a couple of points and it didn't cause any major damage like usual (I end up having to re-apply) so I was really impressed.<br />
<br />
I have 6 beautiful shades to share with you so let's take a closer look...<br />
<br />

This is a stunning dusty pink with a peachy tone to it. I think this will look stunning on so many skin tones and it is a really easy to wear neutral shade. I can definitely see myself reaching for this regularly as it would compliment any outfit<br />

This is a gorgeous deep purple shade and although it is part of a summer collection I feel it has more of an autumn vibe. Nevertheless I love it!<br />

Next up we have Peach Buzz - you guessed it a pretty peach shade! Now this has a stunning gold shimmer to it that was tricky to pick up in photos but in person it is AMAZING!!! Definite summer vibes from this one<br />

This is a deep wine shade which I feel is more autumn appropriate along with Va Va Violet. I can definitely see me getting a lot more wear out of this in the colder months as it is really pretty.<br />

One of my faves from the collection Petal to the Metal is a gorgeous metalic pink/purple with an amazing shimmer to it. I really love how this looks and was super impressed with the application as I normally find metallic polishes look quite streaky but this didn't at all<br />

<a name='more'></a>Hey Guys!<br />
<br />
So the theme for May's Mani Swap Circle was peach and mint! This was such an interesting colour combo and definitely something I would have chosen myself. I really love how these swaps challenge you with colours you wouldn't normally choose and different designs.<br />
<br />
This was my third time taking part. You can see my previous posts from April <a href="http://www.polishisthenewblack.com/2019/04/april-mani-swap-circle.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> and March <a href="http://www.polishisthenewblack.com/2019/03/march-mani-swap-circle.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
My swap partner was @amritkarteju and this was the design I chose to recreate:<br />

It was a little tricky trying to keep all the vinyls straight but I'm happy with how they turned out! I really love the matte effect too!<br />
<br />
Hope you guys like them<br />

<a name='more'></a>Hey Guys!<br />
<br />
So this is the other nail art design I created using the lovely Sally Hansen polishes that I was very kindly gifted. These were super simple to do and I love the contrast of the matte and sparkle.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmCShuFP1D1x6AqWyVOOLM3GPEMnMe1ut4Y9d0lCqyG86xrMQHrck_H4uuvAfAuXY0oHbgH0bSrzcDSD_n346wiqFLSpENK2WYqeLZ9e7fnWSYEJaV2ellPRl4C1pKGu3i_TxQ02GaUec/s1600/eclipse_3486wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmCShuFP1D1x6AqWyVOOLM3GPEMnMe1ut4Y9d0lCqyG86xrMQHrck_H4uuvAfAuXY0oHbgH0bSrzcDSD_n346wiqFLSpENK2WYqeLZ9e7fnWSYEJaV2ellPRl4C1pKGu3i_TxQ02GaUec/s640/eclipse_3486wm.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I painted my nails with Tidal Wave and then topped them with the matte top coat. Once dry I then painted the crescent shape freehand using a detail brush and Game of Chromes from the previous Sally Hansen PR package. I wanted to keep the contrast of the matte and the shimmer so I just topped the gold with the original miracle gel top coat. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSeAjAJszljiZSK6fYQBgCBVRTCldaXFAaJls56Pro4KX2UvOjliML_qMMZ7mDba1wjnCVqQIlhuS4UK-upGN2gL0E9AULPOQRw5UwcvvMrcSrDv5XGmMh-oUuMmapB1fkcyQZlHZZjnQ/s1600/eclipse_3494wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSeAjAJszljiZSK6fYQBgCBVRTCldaXFAaJls56Pro4KX2UvOjliML_qMMZ7mDba1wjnCVqQIlhuS4UK-upGN2gL0E9AULPOQRw5UwcvvMrcSrDv5XGmMh-oUuMmapB1fkcyQZlHZZjnQ/s640/eclipse_3494wm.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
Here you can see the contrast a little bit closer. I love the effect and it was so quick and easy to create.<br />
<br />
I really hope you like them!<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here is the first nail art design I created using the new Sally Hansen Miracle Gel polishes. Who doesn't love a colour block mani!? They are super easy to create but look really effective. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h3>
Polishes used: </h3>
<ul>
<li>Sally Hansen: After Altar </li>
<li>Sally Hansen: Pink Tank </li>
<li>Sally Hansen: Tidal Wave </li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Paint your nail with your lightest colour (here that is After Altar which is an off white/pink). Ensure this is fully dry. You can speed things up using a quick dry top coat. </li>
<li>Apply a nail vinyl across your nail and paint your nail darkest colour (Pink Tank) where you would like it. Once you have applied your colour remove the vinyl immediately to create a crisp line. </li>
<li>Allow this layer to dry. NOTE: If your coats of polish aren't fully dry the vinyl will pull it off so it is essential to ensure they are completely dry. </li>
<li>Apply another vinyl across another section of your nail and apply your darkest shade (Tidal Wave). Then remove your vinyl immediately. </li>
<li>Let the whole design dry and apply your top coat. Clean up around your nails and youre done!</li>

<a name='more'></a>Hey Guys!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm super excited to be part of the #sallysquad again! I was very kindly gifted these four shades as well as the miracle gel top coat and the new matte top. Thanks agin to the lovely Robyn from the Sally team. I am in love with the colours! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Miracle Gel range gives a gel like finish without all the fuss of curing gel polish with a UV lamp. All of the swatches I am about to show you are two coats topped with either the miracle gel top coat or the matte top coat. The formula of all of them was amazing and I love that this range has the wide brushes which makes application really easy. </div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally we have the gorgous Tidal Wave which is a bright royal blue. Here it is with the miracle gel top coat. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
To finish; Tidal Wave with the matte top coat.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I would highly recommend the miracle gel range. The wide brushes make application easy and smooth. All the polishes have had a great formula and there is such a stunning range of shades. I will be sharing some nail art with the collection soon so keep an eye out. </div>
<br />
Which did you prefer matte or glossy?<br />

<a name='more'></a>Hey Guys!<br />
<br />
Today I have these cute leopard nails to share with you. Who doesn't love a leopard design!? Have to say I'm a little obsessed and I love painting the pattern. This time I went for a little twist with a half and half<br />
<br />

The leopard print was all painted free hand using black acrylic paint. These were super easy to do but I absolutely love them!<br />

They were some good old Pinterest inspired nails - I absolutely love Pinterest for inspo. You can find me over there - the link is in the side bar or you can search polishisthenewblack. I share both my own designs and some cute inspo pics<br />

<a name='more'></a>Hey Guys!<br />
<br />
So April is my second month taking part in Mani Swap Circle. If you didn't see my last mani for March you can find it <a href="http://www.polishisthenewblack.com/2019/03/march-mani-swap-circle.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> (I explain about how the process works in case youre interested too!)<br />
<br />
The theme for April was Rainbow which meant it worked a little differently. We were divided into colour groups that make up the rainbow - I was obviously in team green! I really enjoyed the colour choice as green isn't something I wear often but I recently got this gorgeous mint green polish from Rainbow Connection and knew I had to use it.<br />
<br />
My swap partner this month was @mennysnailcorner and this was the design I chose to recreate:<br />
<br />

I'm a sucker for an aztec design so I had to do it - and let me tell you it was a challenge to paint free hand!<br />

*Some Items Gifted<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Hey Guys!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So I wanted to share with you my current nail care routine as the last time I posted about it was back in 2015! Which feels like a life time ago! Now some things have changed and some things have remained firm favourites over the years. You can see my previous post <a href="http://www.polishisthenewblack.com/2015/05/my-nail-care-routine.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I will start off by saying I am by no means an expert! I am not a nail technician. These are products and tools that work for me - I just wanted to share as you may find some of them helpful. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii3WaOaKSD-Mkb5z1NUP0MnoOZPzG0o4DbvLmPxfdKMiky8H0vo_27qpWhnb5C_kdG_lvJB7rUHUMo_dHPApcYBq81GCYa4gTMidDDRvmQapIZoEE9EHBp-v6sQFPRSTFGNa6DODdRCYA/s1600/nailcare_3257wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii3WaOaKSD-Mkb5z1NUP0MnoOZPzG0o4DbvLmPxfdKMiky8H0vo_27qpWhnb5C_kdG_lvJB7rUHUMo_dHPApcYBq81GCYa4gTMidDDRvmQapIZoEE9EHBp-v6sQFPRSTFGNa6DODdRCYA/s640/nailcare_3257wm.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So generally I start off taking care of my cuticles to keep them looking nice. The products I use are as follows: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><a href="https://www.boots.com/sally-hansen-instant-cuticle-remover-10228022" target="_blank">Boots</a>: £6.95 / <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sally-Hansen-Instant-Cuticle-Packaging/dp/B0046MK34G" target="_blank">Amazon</a>: £5.47</b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I use this generally once a week. I apply it around my cuticles and let it sit for
a few minutes before pushing them back with my cuticle pusher. These removers tend to contain lye which dissolves skin. They don't just work on the cuticle so it is essential to wash your hands immediately after using this as per the directions. This really does work wonders and you will see I have been using this for years! A definite firm favourite!<br />
<br />

This particular one is from Elegant Touch. You can find them quite cheap online. However, I like to ensure I have good quality tools and I do think you get what you pay for. I have been using this for years now and it is still going strong. You also get a 5 year guarantee on Elegant Touch's tools which is great. I
use this alongside the cuticle remover to keep my cuticles neat. I use
the rounded side to push the cuticle back and the pointed side to scrape
around my nail to remove any residue. It is really important you NEVER cut your cuticles! They are there for a reason! </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Again these particular ones are by Elegant Touch. As with the pusher these are great quality made from stainless steel. I actually use these for
hang nails. They are perfect to quickly nip
them away rather than pulling or biting them and causing sores around
your nail. Do not use them on your cuticles! I also find these really handy to use with nail wraps and
tape to trim close to your nail. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now this was one of the items very kindly gifted to me by the lovely Danielle at Sparkle PR. However, all views are my honest opinion. They are quite pricey I know! However, the quality of these is amazing! Rubis are a Swiss company and they produce professional quality tools. Now because of the quality they do not cause any breaking or splitting. I also love the design - they are very unique. So when you think about the quality of them and how long they will last it really is worth the investment! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This was the second item gifted. As with the scissors they are amazing quality which like I said will last you years! So while they are a little more pricey it really is worth it! As they are sharp they ensure a clean cut and as above I love the unique design. I use these along with the scissors to trim my nails down when they grow long before filing them. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I adore this nail file! It is a Mont Bleu crystal glass which have a great reputation as some of the strongest and most durable files. A glass file is an absolute must for me and I will not go back to a regular cardboard file now. I mean the cardboard ones are convenient and the important thing is if you do use one to file in one direction! When you don't it an cause the layers of the nail to split; making them
more prone to breaking. With the glass files you can file in any direction and they do not cause the nail to split. I have been using this one since 2015 and it is still as perfect - it just goes to show quality tools really do last! Plus look how pretty it is! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love this base coat as it is a ridge filling one which makes my nails feel smooth ready for polish application. It has a matte finish so it is really natural looking and has a lovely pink/peach tint which is perfect for that natural/french manicure look. I wish I could wear this all the time to protect my nails as naked nails are the most vulnerable and prone to breakages but even a natural polish is a no no unfortunately! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now again you might say this is quite pricey. However, it is absolutely amazing! I've been using this for a few years now and it is my favourite hand cream. It is so nourishing and leaves my hands feeling soft and hydrated. For me it is a must especially with my job. As some of you know I work full time as a Speech and Language Therapist. This means I have to wash my hands constantly and use hand gel for infection control reasons. I also cannot wear nail polish!! As a result my hands can get dry and sore really easily. This is a life saver and often I will put this on before bed and put on some cotton gloves for a more intensive treatment. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is a new addition to the team which I recently purchased from Rainbow Connection which is a UK stockist of international nail brands. I have the scent pink sugar babies which is an RC exclusive and let me tell you it smells incredible! I previously used Sweet Baby which I mentioned in my previous nail care post. However, unfortunately Donna is no longer producing this which is a shame as it was amazing. This however has been a great alternative. It is super nourishing and completely non greasy which is essential for me. I usually prefer a cuticle butter such as this as I hate my hands feeling oily and greasy. This absorbs perfectly leaving my skin feeling lovely and soft. I bought the 2oz tub and it is massive! I know it will last me ages!<br />

<a name='more'></a>Hey Guys!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I have a review of this Born Pretty Stamping plate: Tropical Punch L002. It was very kindly gifted to me. However, as usual I will give an honest review. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So first of all the etching of the design is really good. I absolutely love all of the patterns on it I think theyre so cute and you could create so many gorgeous manis with it! </div>
<br />
So here is the design I chose to create:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I just loved the leopard print and had to create a mani with it. Now I will say I did have quite a bit of trouble trying to stamp this. However, it was down to the stamper. I started off trying to use my Moyou clear stamper. No matter how many times I tried it would just not pick the design up! So then I had to switch to my creative shop stamper which worked but then I couldn't see the design. </div>

<br />
I created the ombre gradient by applying the polishes with a sponge. I then stamped on the leopard design. I added a quick dry top coat and then finished off with the cuticula top coat to add a bit of sparkle.<br />
<br />
The stamping plate is only £2.26 which I think is an absolute bargain! Product code #44329<br />
I would highly recommend this as it really does have such lovely designs and is great quality for the price.

<a name='more'></a>Hey Guys!<br />
<br />
So today I have a review of the Sensationail Peel Off Strip Gel Starter Kit to share with you. This was kindly gifted to me by Sparkle PR for a review. However, as always I will give my honest opinion<br />
<br />
So to start off the kit includes the peel off base coat, gel cleanser, 'Raspberry Wine' Gel polish, a mystery gel polish (I received Matcha Madness), no wipe top coat, lint free wipes, a file, an orange stick and the LED lamp.<br />
<br />
So the idea with this is that you no longer have to soak off gel polish making it faster and easier to wear and remove and also to prevent damage to your nails from soaking.<br />
<br />
So I will say I have never used gel polish before this was my first time and the idea of being able to peel off the polish was certainly intriguing.<br />
<br />
I did post a little video off the application over on my Instagram which you can watch.<br />
<br />
Here is a look at Raspberry Wine: <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<h3>
How to apply:</h3>
<ol>
<li>First prepare your nails. Gently push cuticles back with stick provided then file nails to shape.</li>
<li>Buff lightly all over with the finest side of the buffer to remove
shine, then wash hands in washing up liquid and dry thoroughly. Wipe
with cleanser on a lint free wipe to dehydrate nails.<br /><i>Tip: </i>The easiest way to complete your manicure is to do 4 fingers on one hand, 4 fingers on the other, then both thumbs.</li>
<li>Apply the base coat to the nail leaving a narrow border around the edge and allow to air dry for a few seconds.</li>
<li>Apply a coat of SensatioNail Original colour polish and cure for 30
seconds in the LED lamp, repeat with a second coat & cure again. </li>
<li>Finally apply the no wipe top coat and do a final cure for 15-30 seconds. That's it - you're done!! </li>
</ol>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I found the application really easy - especially as I have said this was my first time using gel polish. The LED lamp blinks at 15 seconds and goes off after 30 seconds too so there is no need to worry about timing. The key is to be as careful as possible during application to ensure the polish doesn't get on your cuticles or skin. If you do catch it make sure to wipe off with the orange stick before curing. </div>

Here is a close up so you can see the polish in detail. As you can see it is gorgeous! It has a really pretty purply/red shimmer to it and has a lovely glossy finish.I was really happy with the application and was excited to be able to peel it off. </div>

This unfortunately was where I had the difficulty. I waited 48hrs as directed before trying to peel it off. It didn't come off in one go which I thought was fine. However, once I had peeled it off and cleansed to remove any residue, I noticed some damage to my nails! I was really disappointed to see this! It had caused parts of my nail to peel off and as a result they were weak in areas. I have had a couple of breaks as a result. Now my nails look to be healing and it hasn't caused significant damage but of course I was disappointed. Now I'm not sure whether it just adhered more strongly to my nail and needed longer but as this was my first time using gel I really didn't know what to expect. I am willing to try it again and leave longer to see. Unfortunately I had to try to take it off when I did as I can't wear polish for work! </div>

The peeling of course was disappointing although it didn't cause a significant amount of damage. I would definitely try leaving it on for longer when trying it again as I have noticed on other videos it has peeled off in one go. As I said this was my first time using gel too so I think it would be worth trying it again. The application was super easy and the finish of the polish was stunning. </div>

Hey Guys!<br />
<br />
So today I have a review of the Born Pretty Store Chameleon Pearl Stamping Polish in shade Pink Planet<br />
<br />
This was gifted to me for a review but as usual I will be giving my honest opinion.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-y27ylY1J0sKCw-m1Cbt5G-12mH9skRKYtc1oIDsTGQU1mXHTsbXBfF108DXz_x3OCvLL39HgzK75K0jklzGmhdkkwNKxRateRA5Qb44b5bfN-kAH-4sbLWfPEJ-kz9rAFP-PdTzw5LM/s1600/stamp_3036wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-y27ylY1J0sKCw-m1Cbt5G-12mH9skRKYtc1oIDsTGQU1mXHTsbXBfF108DXz_x3OCvLL39HgzK75K0jklzGmhdkkwNKxRateRA5Qb44b5bfN-kAH-4sbLWfPEJ-kz9rAFP-PdTzw5LM/s640/stamp_3036wm.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
So here is a look at the mani I created. I was really happy with how it turned out. I really love the shade of this polish - it's a gorgeous metlalic rose gold colour with a shimmer to it.<br />
<br />
As you can see it stamped really well and it looks gorgeous over a black base<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here is a close up so you can see in a little more detail. This polish is only £4.53 which I think is an absolute bargain and the quality is amazing.<br />
<br />

<a name='more'></a>Hey Guys!<br />
<br />
So this was my first time taking part in the Mani Swap Circle hosted by the lovely Tena @nailsit<br />
Basically it is a large scale mani swap and each month everyone recreates a design by the artist listed below them. To add an extra challenge specific colours are assigned each month which must be used.<br />
<br />
So for March the colours were purple and yellow and I had the pleasure of recreating a design by @darkmoon_nails.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj7gQTDxdzFAuO-ClsD-egULX9qjIMWCFn3jq8hQBmS2HzmemFpPf7cwvJK1Ss-uakhM9aDkNbNsKanbPdJcyH4KUJe44PZQtMjo5AKuU0l_K8vX3sYQ_q5v8rzQCCoZAN2A8WG0AIrpw/s1600/marchmsc3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj7gQTDxdzFAuO-ClsD-egULX9qjIMWCFn3jq8hQBmS2HzmemFpPf7cwvJK1Ss-uakhM9aDkNbNsKanbPdJcyH4KUJe44PZQtMjo5AKuU0l_K8vX3sYQ_q5v8rzQCCoZAN2A8WG0AIrpw/s640/marchmsc3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This is the design I chose. Since I didnt have a stamping plate to match this I decided to free hand it<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNyu9oLhZY0jKKnXmfSZyloZIb-rKvK7mSEHH5JMWUWRRw0IuKUmWiGodRX0JcuqyrICJ4_kjwO-rWX7U30ey3CMKhIn8KxaxkBukVCz5hD2v3Es5OhvxllgXEC4SWgCJ_LsRlMZ1OSG4/s1600/marchmsc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNyu9oLhZY0jKKnXmfSZyloZIb-rKvK7mSEHH5JMWUWRRw0IuKUmWiGodRX0JcuqyrICJ4_kjwO-rWX7U30ey3CMKhIn8KxaxkBukVCz5hD2v3Es5OhvxllgXEC4SWgCJ_LsRlMZ1OSG4/s640/marchmsc.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
So here is the full collage of 128 artists! The scale of this is just incredible! You can see everyone's designs by searching #maniswapcircle <br />

Today I wanted to share with you a swatch and review of the Born Pretty Store Peel off Glitter in Night Moon Barbie <br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To start off I will say I did find the formula tricky. It is quite a thick consistency which I found difficult to paint on. I got around this by using a sponge to apply it. It did also feel like a glue due to it being a peel off polish. </div>

Generally I do think it looks very sparkly and pretty!There are some areas that look a little dull and I wonder if it is the glue like property of it<br />

Taking off this polish was so easy! Anyone who has worn glitter polish will know the worst part about wearing it is having to take it off as it is just impossible! However, with this it peeled off so easily and I think this is a major plus for this porduct. Also this polish is only approximately £3 which is so cheap and I think you can't really argue with the formula for that price and you can definitely get around it by applying with a sponge </div>
<br />
All in all I think this is a great product for the price, the look and ease of removing.<br />
<br />
You can find the polish <a href="https://www.bornprettystore.com/born-pretty-peel-nail-polish-glitter-shimmer-sequins-nail-varnish-fast-manicure-p-44833.html?currency=GBP" target="_blank">HERE</a> - or search the product code #44833<br />
<br />
Have you guys tried this polish? What are your thoughts?<br />

<a name='more'></a>Hey Guys!<br />
<br />
Sorry I've been a little quiet lately. I've had quite a lot going on so unfortunately haven't managed to do my 2 posts a week. I did say getting back to nail art though that I wouldn't stress about it and I just need to accept it. Hopefully I can get back to 2 posts a week but you know sometimes things come up and it just isn't possible.<br />
<br />
Anyway today I have these super cute Tsum Tsum nails for you!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdE1rIHXBpiv9GIrc4qtQuiA5L1Kq5aYyKC0kBtmKto03cw_qBqprqvHJM8nX4_AHBXlzHPApARIuHpyNmrrYGZxW1pqHip9yVbjYl_cpisFL1gSQTJ3U3GgDibrGDQS3-gFRNZ8dKsrA/s1600/pooh_2890wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdE1rIHXBpiv9GIrc4qtQuiA5L1Kq5aYyKC0kBtmKto03cw_qBqprqvHJM8nX4_AHBXlzHPApARIuHpyNmrrYGZxW1pqHip9yVbjYl_cpisFL1gSQTJ3U3GgDibrGDQS3-gFRNZ8dKsrA/s640/pooh_2890wm.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
So as you can hopefully all tell I painted the characters from Winnie the Pooh! They were all painted freehand using acrylic paint<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK5xP-PpiSCes51i1AJBT71BLVzO0T8z51Lj698-Kkju-kWlX1X5o7GQnfKn6bbmlcX4XxaP1L6PxOOslXJD_MfPkY9SR-WyNUFUicGhBGKBvWI4gLQV4JPJaSBIUmMkAw2aRDp7417wc/s1600/pooh_2886wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK5xP-PpiSCes51i1AJBT71BLVzO0T8z51Lj698-Kkju-kWlX1X5o7GQnfKn6bbmlcX4XxaP1L6PxOOslXJD_MfPkY9SR-WyNUFUicGhBGKBvWI4gLQV4JPJaSBIUmMkAw2aRDp7417wc/s640/pooh_2886wm.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
So here you can see Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore and Piglet<br />
<br />

<br />
Which is your favourite character?<br />
<br />
I think my favourites are Eeyore and Tigger<br />
<br />
Hope you like them!<br />

<a name='more'></a>Hey Guys!<br />
<br />
So it was also Kelly's @lushnails_2 birthday. I created these Poppy nails as part of a collab for her. The theme was floral as this was what I came up with: The design was inspired by @thebusynails<br />

<br />
I hope you are all having a lovely Sunday! I have these abstract nails to share with you today. I'm really happy with how they turned out. I don't think you can go wrong with a design like this so it's great if youre not that confident with free hand!<br />
<br />
So the design was inspired by @samrosenails on Instagram! Check out her original mani its so pretty! She is really talented I love all of her work.<br />

<li>Sally Hansen: Game of Chromes</li>
<li>Detail brush </li>
<li>Citadel Acrylic paint: Abaddon Black </li>
<li>Barry M: Wet Set Top Coat </li>
</ul>
First of all how gorgeous is Saltwater happy!!! I am absolutely in love with this shade. Pastel/baby/powder blue is my absolute favourite colour so I had to buy this when I found it. I managed to pick it up in TK Maxx a while back (love that shop for nail polish, you get some absolute gems).<br />
<br />
Game of Chromes looks gorgeous against it. I got rid of the excess from the brush and just swiped it across the nail. I then used a detail brush and acrylic paint to add the lines. It was as simple as that!<br />

<a name='more'></a>Hey Guys!<br />
<br />
I wanted to start off saying sorry for not having posted recently! I've had a few things on so unfortunately I haven't had time to post.<br />
<br />
Anyway so today I have these cute floral nails to share with you. These were so easy to create as they are actually water decals from Born Pretty Store. I absolutely love water decals for nail designs - especially when you are in a rush. They are an absolute life saver!<br />
<br />

<br />
They really are so easy to use and I highly recommend the decals from Born Pretty Store - I've used them so many times and they are great quality and so reasonable. The ones here were only 75p!<br />
<br />
Also I have a new watermark with the help of my boyfriend. What do you guys think? I love it and think its much better than the little bird I had. <br />
<br />
Hope you gius like them!<br />

<a name='more'></a>Hey Guys!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I have a nail look to share with you that is perfect if youre in a rush and they look super cute! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So these are actually nail stickers which means the design is ready done for you. They are great if you struggle with freehand designs and there is no waiting around for your polish to dry. You can apply and youre free to get on with your day!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They also only cost £1 from Poundland - They are so good for bargain nail supplies often you can find nail polishes like Models Own in there too</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMFbpLzOc74mPx2aEHGpWDDw8-JI00ETAAWEneS4qe8b2OFtxZsy1ao05vXfx6exsWyTFQsP-3tQynlJXm67v3hU3Fxs2-YDqRuzJEnMrvQYqpquG3K4vYlUg4AE4snUqPI4hMAhEXC1Y/s1600/minnie_1989wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMFbpLzOc74mPx2aEHGpWDDw8-JI00ETAAWEneS4qe8b2OFtxZsy1ao05vXfx6exsWyTFQsP-3tQynlJXm67v3hU3Fxs2-YDqRuzJEnMrvQYqpquG3K4vYlUg4AE4snUqPI4hMAhEXC1Y/s640/minnie_1989wm.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
So here are the nail stickers - they did have a couple of designs in when I got these to. They had some more Minie themed stickers in purple and pink <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMzT2tEIQjJcBcvoXUUXBRtUgrWUS2DXuguiE0Mhg5h-ydaKFb93d0VnWq6Hm90_Lj7CRl-55o2IQt-kFyw5c6UqROY510pRJxPgAR7urk5PeWLIcBLHlndn-Yv_B6_H5GqN-U8k0b-RQ/s1600/minnie_1990wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMzT2tEIQjJcBcvoXUUXBRtUgrWUS2DXuguiE0Mhg5h-ydaKFb93d0VnWq6Hm90_Lj7CRl-55o2IQt-kFyw5c6UqROY510pRJxPgAR7urk5PeWLIcBLHlndn-Yv_B6_H5GqN-U8k0b-RQ/s640/minnie_1990wm.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I think the design is so cute - who doesn't love Minnie Mouse!?<br />
<br />
The main tricky bit and downside was trying to get the size right for your nail. <br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I cut some off around the edges so it looked about right (it was a bit of guess work) and you can see my cutting wasn't fully straight. I then filed off the excess at the tips. </div>
<br />
They were pretty easy to apply - They're sticky underneath so no need for polish. Once cut to size I applied to my nail and smoothed them out. There were a couple of bubbles - to be expected and I bet if i practiced with them again I could improve on the application.<br />
<br />
So all in all they arent perfect and can be a little fiddly but for £1 and when youre in need of a quick nail design I think they are really good.<br />
<br />

<a name='more'></a>Hey Guys!<br />
<br />
So I just wanted to start off by saying sorry for not posting earlier this week - I've been really ill! I've had a chest infection and then got laryngitis and lost my voice! Very ironic as some of you may know I'm a Speech and Language Therapist. Basically I just was not upn to posting I'm starting to finally feel better now after rest and antibiotics so aiming to keep to posting twice a week.<br />
<br />
So I have these negative space floral nails to share with you which were completely inspired by by phone case from Casetify. You can find the link to it <a href="https://www.casetify.com/product/wIeEX_floral-collage/iphone-xs/classic-grip-case-with-camera-ring?color=gold#/7411804" target="_blank">HERE</a> - I'll post a picture of it below (Credit: Casetify)<br />

<br />
This was just perfect for inspiration -I absolutely LOVE my case and they have so many gorgeous cases on their site!<br />
<br />

<br />
These were all painted freehand usng acrylic paint and a detail brush. They were then opped with a top coat to smooth the design. I was having some issues with acrylic paints here and since have got some new ones which are much better - I used them for my Stitch nails<br />

I'm really happy with how these turned out. I dont think you can go wrong with floral nails really!<br />
