smART Nails Stencil P050

PRESS SAMPLE
I'm really excited to show you smART Nails Stencils.  I've never used stencils before and I'm chuffed to bits with the results.  I watched a couple of smART Nails video tutorials which give great advice and hey presto, my revamped mani is done!  The re-usable stencils come in a pack of 10 and there are 65 different designs to choose from.  Simply peel off the stencil from the backing paper.  The stencil is transparent so you can see exactly where to place it on the nail.  Press onto your dry nail and make sure there are no air bubbles.  Apply your contrasting polish and immediate remove the stencil.  Once dry apply top coat.
Now I'll let you into a special offer!  smART Nails have 25% off their stencils through the month of November 2014, use NOV25 at the checkout process!
I highly recommend these stencils because they are very easy, effective, fun and a great way to jazz up a tired mani.  And, they are re-useable!  Check out my video demonstration below.

Born Pretty Store Blue Magnetic Nail Polish

Hi Guys!  I love magnetic nail polishes and have quite a few so when I saw them on the Born Pretty Store website I knew I had to add another to my collection!  Magnetic polishes are a doddle to create interesting patterns on your nails which look like they've taken forever to do....but they haven't.  Apply the first coat and allow to dry completely, apply a second thick coat, hold the magnet as close to your nail without touching it and the pattern materialises in seconds!  Fascinates me every time!  The great thing about the magnetic polishes from Born Pretty Store is that they come with a magnet - hooruh!!  The magnet also has a handle/post which makes holding it over your nail really easy.  This Magic Magnetic Nail Polish is a beautiful blue producing paler stripes when the magnet is used.  And you don't have to use this polish for it's magnetic effects, it can be worn as a regular polish.

Fabulous magnetic nail polish.  15ml bottle.
Highly recommended!  Check out my vid below which includes a demonstration!

The Magic Magnetic Nail Polish is currently $16.38 / £10.15 / €12.89 (however it was a lot cheaper when I bought it, watch out for Born Pretty Store's prices as they often go up an down) and if you use my discount code HXBQ10 you get 10% off full priced items!!

Sparkly Nails Hot Lips Nail Foil

PRESS SAMPLE
Now that I've completed my mani it looks like these red hot lips are kissing Superman!  Oh I wish..... Well if I can't have Superman here's the next best thing, Hot Lips Nail Foil from Sparkly Nails.  The foil has different sizes of pouty red lips edged in silver.  These foils are excellent for a beginner because you don't have to ensure full coverage of the foil over your nail.  Apply the special nail adhesive over your mani and wait for the glue to become transparent.  Then place the foil on top of your nail and gently rub with your finger, hoof stick or cotton bud and in seconds the design is transferred to your nail.  Apply top coat to seal and you're done!
