Removing glitter nail polish
I'm no nail expert, but this is the way I like to remove stubborn glitter nail polish so I thought I'd share it with you guys in case you didn't already know this way.
Christmas Gold Star Nails
I have been loving opening my Ciaté advent calendar every day this month and I'm hoping to do a post on my favourite picks from the lot when I finish it. For this nail look I used two of the colours I found inside, Dangerous Affair and Ladylike Luxe.
Nails Inc Launches
Last week I went to see what Nails Inc has in store for their future launches, but I had no idea how many new nail polish ideas I'd see. Normally brands launch with one big new idea, but we discovered about five at this one event.
Barbie Nails
Another night on the sofa watching Made in Chelsea means another night relaxing and painting my nails. This time I had no idea what I was going to do so I headed upstairs to my nail polish collection, picked up a few polishes, a dotting tool and headed back down to my sofa and my onesie.
Mini Mouse/Christmas Nails
If you follow me on Instagram (lilypebbles) then you'll know that I'm quite into nail art. Now I'm not saying I'm actually any good at it, it's just something I enjoy. For the past year I've been using the Model's Own nail art pen which is really good, but it is limited in colours. I thought it was about time I bought some nail dotting tools.
Current Nail Care Routine
For someone who paints their nails every other day, I'm really awful at actually looking after my nails. I've slowly been forcing myself to take better care of my nails and although I'm still pretty lazy I am getting a bit better.
Ciaté Mini Mani Month Advent Calendar
Who needs chocolate eh? Ok... let's not go that far. To be fair Christmas is filled with so much chocolate anyway (anyone else hang chocolate off the tree?? We do!) so I'm more than happy to replace my Cadbury's advent calendar with this beauty.
Rimmel London Metal Rush Polishes
Rimmel are launching loads of great new products for A/W and these Metal Rush nail polishes are just some of them. They come in four shades that all change colour depending on the light. My favourite out of the four is 'Pearly Queen'.
American Apparel Neon Red Nail Polish
I picked up this AA Neon Red nail polish quite a long time ago and haven't actually worn it as much as I thought I would. I was expecting bright neon but was a little disappointed as to me it looks more like a bright red, rather than a neon. Apparently it helps if you apply a base of nude polish underneath the neon, but I haven't tried that yet.
Butter London Bossy Boots Nail Polish
I don't know if you've all heard, but Selfridges in London has recently opened the Beauty Workshop, which is an extension of their beauty hall. This part of the beauty hall stocks the more niche products such as Stila, Phyto, Bumble & Bumble and nail polish brands like Nails inc, Butter London and Essie.
