Glitterball Holographic Nail Glitter Dust from Sparkly Nails

My two latest manis are sparkly nails from Sparkly Nails!
A 5 gram bag of holo glitteriness!  The Glitterball Holographic Nail Glitter dust is from Sparkly Nails and I applied it over both regular nail polish and UV Gel nail polish.

Check out my video below for lots of sparkles, it's glitterballtastic!

First up, I painted my nails with regular silver nail polish, and while the polish was wet I applied the glitter and applied two coats of regular top coat
 
Next up, I painted my nails with regular black nail polish and sealed with a UV gel top coat.  I patted and gently rubbed the glitter onto the UV gel top coat and sealed with another layer of UV gel top coat.
 The Glitterball Holographic Nail Glitter Dust (5g bag) is £1.49, super value when you think you can easily create a full mani or numerous accent manis and can be used with both regular and UV Gel nail polish.  Available at Sparkly Nails who have an amazing range of nail art items; they offer a loyalty and an affiliate scheme, go sign up, I have, you may as well save as you spend!

My trip to Avon Cosmetics to paint nails - New Shade Arctic Steel with proceeds to Domestic Violence Charities

It was a great privilege to be asked by Avon HQ to attend an internal ‘sneak peek’ event to showcase all things Avon PR and the causes they support. I was invited to paint nails at the event with one of the shades, Avon True Colour Arctic Steel, being launched in C14, with proceeds of £1.50 from each bottle going towards Domestic Violence charities.

The event was attended by Avon employees to give them the opportunity to hear all about what Avon does and to have a ‘mani corner’ where attendees of the event had the opportunity to get their nails done in the new causes shade by yours truly.

I've arrived!
I was provided with a huge selection of nail products including base coats, 3 nail enamels, topcoat, nail files, nail polish remover, cuticle tool, hand cream etc. I still haven’t got round to ordering my own ridge filling base coat so I was really pleased to try it. If you haven’t got one yet and you have ridged nails it’s brilliant at helping to smooth out your nails, it’s my current fave Avon product.
The event ran from 11 am to 2 pm and I managed 11 manis. 
The three nail enamel shades are: Blue – Arctic Steel, Coral – Fabulous, Light Pink – Pretty In Pink. Here are all bar one of the manis I created, I hope the ladies all enjoyed their little pamper session.
And here’s a few photos and video of my nails painted in Arctic Steel, the new causes shade.

Thank you so much Avon for inviting me, looking after me and allowing me to do my fave thing, play with nail polish!  And THANK YOU for my amazing goodie bag!

BORN PRETTY Chameleon Magnetic Nail Polish - Lightning

I've been sent a wonderful magnetic nail polish from Born Pretty Store, from the 'Chameleon Magnetic Nail Polish Aurora Series Cat Eye' collection.  There are 6 colours to choose from and I received the shade named 'Lightning'.  The designs on the Born Pretty Website show a 'cat eye' effect but I couldn't manage to achieve this look so I used a circular magnet I already had and knew worked.  Bore Pretty Store suggests you apply the Chameleon Magnetic Nail Polish over a black base.   I applied quite a thick coat of the magnetic polish to my dry black nails, placed the magnet on top and waited a few seconds for the magic to happen and the pattern to appear.  Not only do I have a stunning design on my nails, the duo chrome shifts from golden green to purple.  It's truly mesmerising!
Tip: with magnetic nail polishes you have to do one nail at a time as you have to use the magnet while the magnetic polish is wet.  Comes in a dinky 6ml bottle.
