Nails: Elegant Touch Totally Bare

Hey Guys,

I am in love with having long nails. For awhile acrylic nails were my obsession, then my nails started to get weak and damaged so it was time to take a break. After some time they became strong but money was tight so getting acrylics back on went out the window. That is when I came across these beauties.

Elegant touch have a wide range of fake nails from bare, one toned colours and nail art packs. Each pack comes with 48 nails with 10 different shape. This means you can get up to 2 uses per pack. 

The reason I chose the bare nails is because you can easily reshape them and decide which colour you want to use. 

For myself the stiletto shape is a small bit pointy and long for my liking. For this I grab a scissors, trim them down to the size I prefer and reshape them. This process is so simple and only take a couple of minutes. 

I had a huge disaster when painting them as my nail varnish spilt all over my bedsheets (thank god it was clear!) so I could not get a snap of the finished colour look. You will be able to see the finished colour over on my instagram in the next couple of days. :)

Have you tried any of the elegant touch range?

Essie Sleek Stick Nails.

Hey Guys, 

In my July GlossyBox I received a packet of Essie's Sleek Stick nails. 

I've been meaning to try them for awhile now but lately my nails have been sort of a mess so I have been giving them a break from nail varnish and the lot. Then when they got back to normal my cousins girlfriend painted them and I had to wait for that to wear off. 

Anyway I'll stop rambling and get to the point. 

I had seen so many people try different versions of these and I thought they looked so simple and nice. There is many different patterns which means you can switch them up whenever you get bored. 

The packet I received looked like this:

Instructions:

(As you can see it's that simple.)

The thing I love most about these is that if you are one of those impatient people who can't stand waiting for nail-varnish to dry, these couldn't be more perfect. Just a quick stick on your nails and your ready to go. 

How they look:

Before:

After:

Also if doing something fancy with your nails isn't your cup of tea simply because it's to much hassle you can get away with these if you have five minutes to spare. 

The only downside is that some of them may be a bit to big for your nails so you might have to cut the pieces a bit just to get them to fit. The only nail I had a problem with was my little nail so this isn't to much of a problem. 

Has anyone tried these before? Let me know in the comments.

NOTD - Girly Pink

Hey guys, 

It's sort of an uninteresting day today. Myself, my sisters and my mam popped into town earlier for coffee and a mooch around some shops the came home. My hayfever has been acting up so badly the last few days and today it is definitely the worst it has ever been. 

Since nothing exciting is going on I just thought I'd show you what I'm wearing on my nails. 

The main colour I am wearing is a baby pink. I think Tanya Burr was wearing this in her latest video and I instantly fell in love. Knowing my nail varnish collection didn't have a colour like this I went rummaging through my younger sisters. I came across a colour pretty similar to it and thought I'd give it go. Since it's probably an incredibly cheap brand I don't expect it to last very long, but the colour is just so pretty that I couldn't resist. On top of one of the finished nails I put a sparkly top coat over it to add something different to them. 

I am most definitely going to search for a drugstore version of this to add to my collection as I am loving the colour so much.

NOTD - Rimmel Salon Pro Reggae Splash

Hey Guys,

I'm just going do a small simple post today about what's on my nails.
Rimmel Salon Pro nail varnish is perfect for someone on a budget but still looking for a good quality shade.

When purchasing this nail varnish I choose the shade 'Reggae Splash' At the minute I am loving anything orange so this was perfect. It has a hint of pastel in the colour so it's not extremely bright which is one thing I love about it. 

Rimmel prices are so affordable so with a price of €6/€7 you cannot go wrong with these. 

The range even does 32 different shades so you're spoilt for choice when it comes to picking a colour. 

When applying you need a good 2/3 coats to cover any streaks but so worth it when you are finished. 

This is definitely one of my favourite nail varnishes and cannot wait to pick up more. 

Is anyone else loving Rimmel Salon Pro?
