Acrylic Nails

Hey dolls,

 

So today I just wanted to talk to you about acrylic nails and show you some of the designs I have had on my own nails!

 

So for any of you who do not know what acrylic nails are, they are basically extensions for your natural nails. The type of acrylic nails that I usually have are called 'tips'.

 

'Tips' are made of lightweight plastic plates that are nail shaped. They are glued on the end of the natural nail and then the acrylic is applied over the entire nail.

 

If you considering having acrylic nails done, it is important to know that the nail technician knows exactly what they are doing as they can seriously damage your nails.

 

It is also important that when the time comes where you need to take your acrylic nails off, make sure you go to the salon as it is the safest way. If you do try to take them off yourself you may cause permanant damage to your nails and it also really hurts.

 

Acrylic nails usually cost around £40 however I am fortunate enough that my boyfriend's cousin does them for me at a much more affordable price - and she is fab at what she does!!

 

So, I have created a list of both pro's and con's of having acrylic nails:

 

Pro's

• Help to cover up any damaged, short or bad nails, making them look pretty
• Helps people to stop biting their nails and allows your natural nails to be able to grow underneath
• They are hard and therefore do not break

Con's

• Damage to the nail bed
• Artificial nails tend to harbour infections which tends to be why hospitals won't let their employees wear them
• When you take your acrylics off your nails often look really ugly underneath

 I love having acrylic nails as it means that I don't really have to think about my nails and don't have to go through the annoyance of painting my nails which I absolutley cannot bare!!!

 

So, these are some of the designs I have had:

 

 

So thats it from me beauts,

 

I hope you have enjoyed this post,

Current Favourite Lip Product

Hey guys,

 

Today's blog post is a little review of my current favourite lip product.
 

 

Recently, I have been absolutley loving the Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquers which are a mix between a lipstick and a lipgloss and have a lovely smooth and creamy texture when applied.

 

The applicator has a dent in the middle so it holds the right amount of product, is easy to apply and you don't have to keep going back in for more.
 

The lip lacquer has a very thick consistency which I like and I also found it to be extremely moisturising.

 

Rimmel London offer a wide range of colours but my favourite has to be 'Luna'.
 

 

'Luna' is a peachy/orange tone which is very highly pigmented but is extremely wearable.

What I find with this product is that it is versatile: you can build up the lip lacquer for a bold lip colour or you can apply a little and blot with a tissue for a more natural look - I go for both!
 

 

This Rimmel London lip product retails for around £6.49 and I know that Boots are doing a 'buy one get one half price' deal at the moment.

 

I love this lacquer and I think you will too!

 

So, that's it from me lovelies! I hope you enjoyed this blogpost and I have given you a useful review!

I've got a blog!

Woooooo, I've got a blog!

Expect to see all things beauty related, including some hair, fashion and lifestyle posts thrown in the mix too.

I have a passion for all things beauty related, however I am in no way a makeup artist and I am doing this purely for fun.

I am aiming this blog to people who are on a tight budget or just prefer drugstore to high end, like me.  However, that does not mean I won't be featuring more high end products! (I am a huge MAC lover!!)

I hope you will enjoy reading this as much as I will enjoy writing it!

Wish me luck and happy blogging!:)
