Ciate - Feather Manicure

Heyyy,

Another quick Ciate nail post. Well I was really lusting after the Ciate feather manicure set because I thought it looked really cool. I finally plucked up the courage to spend the money on it! £18 when I bought it if I remember rightly. So you do get the whole kit and the kit includes:

Feathers
Nail scissors
2 hard file sponged
Top coat
Mini white colour

This manicure is definitely fiddly! And for a person with OCD for things like this I actually found it rather stressful at times because some of the feathers were not sitting how I wanted them too! Then when it came to filing around once you had cut the feathers it was difficult to get the smooth finish I was after. However once finished I did think the effect looked really unusual and nice! It just depends on if you have the time and patience to go through with it!

Here is what my finished nails looked like in the end. I placed them on the box purely for Instagram purposes!

Have you tried this manicure before? What do you think of the end result?

Ciate ~ Pocket Money Nail Polish

Beautiful Nails,

In my Feb GlossyBox I received the Ciate ~ Pocket Money Nail Polish and I instantly fell in love! I LOVE NUDES!!!

The Ciate website describes it as 'The ultimate in understated luxury, this creamy fudge nude is a sweet treat for fingers and the perfect girly indulgence. Break open your piggy bank and splash out on some me time.'

I thought I would put it to good use and do a simple design. I simply used diamontes and placed them in a cross shape. It was a little fiddly but I would say it is a easy design to do and looks very classy.

Christmassy Nails

Hello,

I thought as we are making our way into December it was time for some Christmassy nail art. I love doing my nails and I have been slacking with them because I have been so busy at work! So I enjoyed chilling and watching home alone whilst doing my nails. It's a lovely way to spend my Sunday in my eyes. :)

I decided on a rather easy design because I am a little out of practice therefore didn't quite no what they would turn out like.

How to:

I chose to use Models Own ~ Jade Stone as my main colour.
I then chose the use Mabelline Express Finish ~Pearl for my snow and the snowman base. (I don't seem to have a decent white it took me quite a few coats). I used a cocktail stick for the dots to look like snow.
I moved onto doing the hat, eyes and mouth with my black nail art pen and the nose with a Orange nail art pen.

Very simple design but I think it looks cute. What do your festive nails look like?

January Wish List

Hellos,

I am constantly spending my time browsing the Internet online shopping or should i say online wishing! I rarely buy things compared to how much i actually look and want things. This may have something to do with my wages have already been accounted for unfortunately.

So i have decided to monthly let you know what i am craving that particular month. If i do also manage to squeeze some of these things into my budget i will post them and review them for you all because i am lovely like that!

Bodycon Dress In Abstract Stripe Print (Asos - £30) - I have an engagement party to attend this month and i think this would be lovely. I am very much into my fitted midi dresses at the moment.

French Script Boxes (Next, £14) - I think these would look lovely in my bedroom to keep all them random things in which you do not really know what to do with.

Track Rings Necklace (Topshop, £18.50) - I love this necklace it has a rustic gold colouring which i love and i think this would be a necklace which would finish off many outfits really nicely.

Hack Grey Platform Sandals (Miss Selfridge, £49.00) - I have totally fell in love with these shoes! They would look gorgeous with most outfits and also come in black! Some time i will buy these! hehe

Nails Inc Special Effects Graffiti/ Nails Inc Special Effects Concrete (Nails Inc, £12.00) - I think these speak for themselves. They just make your nails and hands look utterly beautiful i expect. With my love for beautiful nails is growing i think these would make a lovely addition to my slowly growing collection.

What are you craving this month?!

Nail Art Obsession

So while I have been a tad quiet I have got myself really into nail art! I have abused my nail envy to gain false nail length natural nails which I LOVE!

It's a very rare occasion when I don't have any nail varnish on at all. So I decide why not be more creative with it. What have I got to loose? (My social life?!) Ha! I actually get told off by friends and family for how much I do them over other things!

Here are a few of my latest :)

Hope you like them :) which are your favourite?

17 Magnatized Nail Polish

Howdy

I have wanted to try this out for a very long time yet couldn't bring myself to spend £15 or so on a nail varnish! So when i found out you could get this version which did practically the same thing for less than half the price i jumped at the chance!

The 1st thing i noticed really was that the instructions on this product were pretty poor so ended up watching a youtube tutorial on what to do lol. I picked the teal shade to try as it was that or blue to choose from.

You have to apply quite a thick layer to each nail for the magnetic particles to work properly. Yet i feel it goes on rather smoothly and easily. I was also pleasantly surprised by how well the magnetic effect actually works and the pace it does so.

I found i got many compliments on my nails especially by people who had not witnessed the magnetic effect before and i also do love the effect myself. Yet did find that it chips rather quickly and easily especially if you do not apply top coat. All in all i am pretty impressed by the product and would definitely buy it in some other colours :)
