My School Nails

At the school I attend, coloured nail polish is banned so in order to make my nails look half decent in school, this is what I do;

Firstly, I remove any nail polish already on my nails.

I then file them and push my cuticles back.

I then apply one or two coats of a clear/pink manicure colour. I use either the FCUK or the Natural Collection polishes.

Today I decided to go for FCUK.

This is what it looks like after one coat. I generally tend to only do one coat as I run out of time to do the second. I also think nail polish gets chipped easier if there's more coats on it - especially in school!

To finish it all off I use the Garnier Intensive Restoring Hand Cream to keep my hands feeling fresh and moisturised.

I hope you enjoy this quick little post!

Sephora Polish

Over summer, I got the Sephora polish in "Dirty Groove" and I knew that it would be perfect for autumn/winter because it is a dark tone but still has a really nice metal-look finish. In the light it can look purple or blue, which I really love. I really want to get another one of these in a burgundy shade because I think it would look so pretty!

The finish of this polish is just unbelievably perfect and the brush is such a nice shape, making it super easy to apply.

I use two coats of this polish and it stays on very well without chipping for up to 5-7 days. This is without a top coat so I'm sure it would be a lot more if I wore a top coat too. 

I really hope you enjoy this!

Rimmel Salon Pro By Kate Nail Polish

Hey all,

Yesterday my sister Katie was wearing a beautiful colour of nail polish that I thought I would share with you. It is such a lovely and vibrant colour for the summer. The nail polish she used was from the Rimmel Salon Pro By Kate Nail Polish. If you haven't already heard, Rimmel London had teamed up with Kate Moss to produce some lovely new products, one of which being the nail polish.

The bottle is also a really nice design and it is 12ml which is larger than the other Rimmel polishes as they are normally 8ml. I really love how the bottle lid is slightly slanted too!

This is the colour 317 Hip Hop. The cost of these nail polishes are £4.49 which I think are great as they are slightly bigger than regular polishes from Rimmel

And this is the end result! This polish lasts a reasonable time without chipping so I definitely think it is worth the money for them!

I hope you all enjoyed this post and will maybe go and purchase one of these yourself!

Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Colour

One of my most recent purchases is this Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Colour Polish. I actually bought this from Poundland which obviously means it cost me £1 which is phenomenal for a Sally Hansen polish. I haven't been able to find it online so I think it is probably old stock, but it still works perfectly!

I love the fact that it is a rather random 9.17ml as that is larger that most other polishes!

I bought the polish in the shade 906 Iconic Indigo and it comes out as a really dark blue with lighter blue through out it.

There is two lids on this polish. The first lid just pops off without unscrewing it and on the top is a magnet. You simply paint your nail with the polish and hold the magnet over the polish. There are metallic particles inside the polish, causing the polish to move and create a 3D effect and a lovely pattern.

The brush is a really nice shape as it only takes three strokes to cover one nail.

And this is the end result! As you can see the magnet caused a swirling pattern in my nails which I love so much as it wasn't difficult at all to do! I will definitely be hunting for more of these soon!

I have tried the Barry M magnetic polish before and it's worked really well too so I would highly recommend trying one out if you haven't before because it just makes your polish look way more complex.

Much love,

Ellen xo
