Nail Envy

Nail art is such a big thing now and yet I struggle to paint my nails without smudging them. I have not been very adventurous with my nails but have been very much inspired by my friend Alex from Tecnicolornails
I tent to buy cheap nail varnis and hove found George at ASDA to be very hard wearing with a great range of colours and very cheap!
Glitter has not been part of my nail wardrobe since I was 15 years old but I saw this in the Pound Shop for £1 obviously and thought it looked quite festive. I am glad I tried it and will be wearing it over the Christmas period over a red or blue base. It is not a brand I have heard of but for £1 I can't complain about it at all.
I also picked up these stripped nail wraps/stickers. I have seen lots of these in Boots and Superdrug but for £4= and was wary of trying them for fear of messing up. For a £1 I thought I would try it and found it to be super easy. I even stuck one on a little squint and pulled it off to try again without a problem. I am on my second day of wearing them and they don't seem like they are going to peel off any day soon so I am very impressed and will be on the look out for more designs to try out.
Plus they matched my glasses! Just goes to show that you don't have to spend a fortune to have cute nail art. Have you tried these? What brands do you like?

Here is the glitter polish with an Asda George £1 base and clear top coat. All these polishes cost a total of £4 and I love the finished look. It is a lot of faffing waiting for coats to dry but it is worth the wait.

Ooh love the look of the glitter polish on it's own and over the black. I hadn't worn glitter polishes since my mid teens, either, but have been overdosing on them recently. I like to use Barry M more than any other (I'd recommend the Ruby Glitter), and MUA are cheap and cheerful, too. Inglot are my fave to splurge on :)
ReplyDeleteI tried a Barry M years ago but found it needed lots of coats so didn't try any of the others :/ I have never heard or Inglot! Will have a look for it. Thanks x
