OMG Nail Wraps - Free shipping worldwide!!

Hello Nail Lovelies!  I'm really into nail wraps at the moment and I've been sent 2 packs of OMG Nail Wraps for review!!  OMG has two types of nail wraps - nail polish strips & nail foil strips and I was lucky enough to be sent a pack of each type.  Thank you OMG!!!

The wraps are super easy to use, peel, stick, trim, file, you're done! Both hands look great (my right hand always looks rubbish polished!), and I've also got a tear in one of my nails, but these wraps hold the tear together!! Yippee!!

Onto the pics......

First up, the Nail Polish Strips - White Floral Pattern Nail Polish Strip (multicolored)  $4.29 / £2.84 / €3.28

Spring & Summer is just around the corner and these nail wraps are perfect for getting you in the summer mood! How cute are these wraps!!!

Next up Nail Foil Strips - Blue Bubbles Nail Foil Strips $4.29 / £2.84 / €3.28

I love the foil effect, I found them hard to photograph due to the camera flash, but take my word for it they are F.A.B.!!

Polish Days - Vintage

Hello everyone! The theme for March's Polish Day Theme hosted by Polly Polish is Vintage.

One of my all time favourite films, which reminds me of when I was a teenager, is Quadrophenia, so I decided on a 60's mod theme.  

I made water decals for the targets on my thumb and ring finger, for the others I was inspired by the black and white dresses of the 60's using bundle monster plate 322.  To the pics.....

Laid Back 31DC - Tape Mani

The 31 day challenge hosted by the lovely Debbie, The Crumpet is being re-run with a laid back approach, 2 manis a week instead of daily.

Tape Mani.  Hooruh!  I started off with great gusto and wanted to do a tape mani with a star/flash effect in the corner of each nail.  Hmmmm ended up being a mess and a tad harder than I thought.  The polish got underneath the tape so I had to take it all off and start again.  So I've gone for plain & simple stripes.  The tape I used is crafting embellishment tape and doesn't have a very clean edge unlike the thin tape you get specifically for tape manis.  Anyhoo, turned out ok, not great but ok, and actually looks better in real life as I can't see as close up as the photos!  To the pics.....

The polishes I used are La Femme Lilac Creme & Odyssey.

Rebel Nails Inc - Nail Wraps

Hello!  I've received from Rebel Nails Inc some gorgeous Nail Wraps to review.  I've only tried nail wraps once before and the results weren't that great and it put me off a tad.  But never fear, Rebel Nails Inc is here!  The nails wraps are soooooo easy to apply, peel off and stick on.  The wraps on are on a clear plastic sheet so you can easily decide which size wrap is right for each nail by placing the sheet over the top of your nail, see pic below.

I cut the wraps down to size while on my nail and then filed down to size using quite a rough/sharp nail file at a 45 degree angle.  They are very good quality, feel nice to touch and the ends of the nails aren't scratchy or sharp.  Amazing results in very little time, and they survived a bath too!

Now this is the good part....Rebel Nails Inc has a flash sale until 4th March 2013 and they have LOADS of gorgeous wraps from £1....yep £1.  You'll be crazy bonkers not to take up this fab offer, I'm getting my order ready!  To the pics!

 Black Fizz Textured Nail Wraps

 Golden Jeweled Textured Wraps

The Rebel Nails Inc sent me the nail wraps for my honest review and I can honestly say they are good quality, easy to use and fun nails wraps.  Why not give them a try with their £1 special offer on some wraps.

Money Smart Nail Art - Glamourous manis without the price tag!

MoneySupermarket are running a competition on how to create great looking nails and saving you money at the same time.  We all want great looking nails right?  But we don't always want to pay for an expensive manicure, so why not have a go at creating your own designs in the comfort of your own home, for hardly any cost at all and have loads of fun at the same time!

Here are a few of my designs from previous blog posts, as you can see they are easy peasy!!

First up, good old sellotape!  Paint your base colour, apply two pieces of sellotape with the corners of each square thouching in the middle, apply your top colour (I used glitter as I love sparkle!) peel off the sellotape while the top coat polish is still wet and there you go!

Or how about raiding your (mum's!) craft box.  I wanted to do a tape mani but didn't want to buy the tape, so I found some brilliant wavey patterned tapes in my mum's craft box.  This is the tape I used on my middle finger below

I used 4 different types of patterned tape, simply paint a base colour, I used a bright barbie pink, once dry I placed the tape on my nail and painted a top coat of black with pink glitter, remove the tape and you see the original colour underneath - bingo!

If you have any of those round hole punch stickers, they look like polo sweets, you can create this fab design.  I used yellow as my base colour, applied the (polo) sticker to my nail, painted above the sticker in one type of glitter and below the sticker (where the hole in the middle is) a different colour.  Again, so easy yet such a fab design!  Looks like you've spent ages doing this but only you know how quick it is!

Dotting tools are great ways to make stunning manis but you don't need to buy specific dotting tools, you have loads of things around the house you could use, a cocktail stick or BBQ skewer (wooden one of course!), an old ball point pen that doesn't work anymore, an orange stick, end of a sewing pin, anything pointy will do, here's my dotted mani.

And don't forget to oil those cuticles, again you don't need to go out and buy expensive nail oils, Olive Oil from the kitchen cupboard will work just as well, just remember to apply day & night.

I hope this gives you a few hints and tips for some great manis that didn't cost me anything at all, all you need is your imagination, and have loads of fun creating your very own personal designs.
