Fashion That Sticks!

Day 1

After 5 Days of wearing the nail stickers!

"FASHION THAT STICKS"

When I received these little nail wraps I actually didn’t expect them to look as good on as they did. I'm usually a plain nail varnish kind of girl; I have to have my toes and hands matching with a coloured nail varnish. So for me, this was a little out of my comfort zone at first but I am so glad I tried them out!! I have  never had so many people notice my nails than when I had these on, it was quite strange how many people asked to see my nails, even boys were noticing them; it was so unusual. I had such positive feedback whilst I was wearing the Kiss nail wraps, when people found out they were just easy stick on nails they were amazed :) the pretty stickers are very easy to apply too.

 How to apply:

Step 1: Remove any nail varnish from your nail. File and shape your nails to your desired shape (I like to square mine)

Step 2: Select the sticker that suits your nail size, peel off and place near to the cuticle of the nail and smooth out from the centre

Step 3: Fold the sticker over where your nail ends

Step 4: Using the file included file the edge of your nail until the excess of the sticker comes away. The nail file includes a blue side for nail stickers with gems and a pink side for all other designs.

The application process really is that simple! I found that once I took the stickers off of my nails they felt really smooth like they had been refreshed from me wearing nail varnish every day. The stickers definitely benefitted my nails. Kiss nail wraps are said to last up to 10 days, I wore mine for five days before I opted for a bright pink colour. They were still in pretty good condition after the five days; I’ve included a picture above so you can see for yourself. These pretty stick on nails come in a range of designs to suit different styles. I was so happy with the ones I was sent as they weren’t anything to crazy and went with every outfit I wore. If you are unsure about using these at first I would definitely recommend just getting these in a black pattern, simple but noticeable :)

Nails! Nails! Nails!

I decided to review a few of the recent nails varnishes I’ve been wearing more often than usual. In the winter months I like wearing deep colours for warm impact or completely contrasting powerful bold bright colours to make me forget about how cold the winter actually is!

Myfacecosmetics | Sp"ice"y

When I received this nail varnish I really did love it, the colour is absolutely beautiful, it is really nice, it’s a metallic purple colour and as soon as I painted it on I was in love with it. However the colour is pretty much the only thing I did like about this nail varnish in the end. The handle of the brush is quite wide, so although you get a good grip it’s a bit awkward to hold the top securely because of the size. Another thing I didn’t really like was that I painted my nails before bed and my nails were basically chipped before even going out the next day and by the end of the day I literally had fully chipped nails with some nails half painted! I hate having chipped nails so this was really annoying for me! Although the colour is really nice I wouldn’t ever willingly purchase this nail varnish again and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who doesn’t want to keep topping up their nail varnish or re-paint their nails every day!

Barry M | Cyan Blue 294

So, this nail varnish is noticeably bright, especially in comparison to most of the nail varnishes I own! I always, always, always must paint my toe nails the same colour as my finger nails so having bright blue toe nails can’t always happen, so when I have my nails this blue it only lasts for a couple of days before I feel like I need a change of colour! As most people know, Barry M is quite obviously a great nail varnish and this one lasts a good few days of wear without chipping! The good thing about this polish is quite obviously the colour, bold and bright! Get your nails noticed! 

#3

Avon | Midnight Plum

I also really love the shade of this nail varnish, it’s a deep purple and almost looks black but isn’t as bold as black and in some lights shows more shades of purples than blacks. The Avon nail varnish is easy to apply and stays on for a few days with only a few tiny chips. Because of the dark colour it’s also good to cover chips really easily and unnoticeably. I would definitely buy this nail varnish again and explore other colours of the Avon brand.

Hope this helped for some nail inspirations over the New Year period. Also, I’d love to hear if you have any nail ideas for the winter season or for New Year party nails! Hope you all had a merry christmas and look forward to celebrating the new year!
