I bought a lot of things......

Hello everyone! :)
I didn't leave it so long this time to update!  (hurray)  I have been on a bit of a spending spree so there is a couple of haul videos to share with you!
Firstly there is some items from Banggood.  I had watched many other youtube vids showing there items and it was only a matter of time until I tried them out for myself too.

I picked a few transfers and some acrylic.  Silly me ordered pink when I wanted white!  Oh well.  I tried it out and it is a very nice shade of pink, not too dark but not too light, and it was of a good consistency (I used it with NSI liquid).  Take a look at my video to see everything and how they look on a practice nail at the end!

Now the BIG spree came on Monday when I went to my local NSI.  (For those unaware of NSI they are one of the leading companies in nail products and have a fantastic range.  It is actually the range we use at our college too)

Really I think I can let the video speak for itself!  I picked myself up the kit created for our college course as it made a fantastic basis for me to be able to start out on my own properly next year when I'm qualified fully.  There was also a Sally's near by so of course we took a trip there too....

I tried out some nail art using gel the other day

 I think my penguin needs some work!  I liked the marbling and blending effect, now to have a client want it done ;)

 Here are a set of sparkly purple glitter acrylics I did on a work colleague.  The picture does not do the shiney justice!!  This was taken with my phone camera though.

This is a set of gels done at the college,  She had broken her thumb nail and it was so odd shaped it was very hard to work with!

This was a special request nail art.  I created it to match the clients outfit for her son's wedding :)

A set of natural gels I done :)

How about some more flag nail art?!  These were fun to do.

Here is a vid of a recent nail art deisgn.  I ended up doing my toes with it first then liked it so much it ended up on my fingers!  I don't often match but for 1 week I did!

This is the last for this post I promise!!  Another nail art video!

Where does the time go?

Hello all!
Sometimes I feel like there is just never enough time in the day!  With 3 days of college and 3 days of work it leaves me one day off and sometimes its not even a day off because I will have some people getting nails done!  It's good to keep busy though and I am trying to build up my clientele for when I finish college and go it alone!
I am currently waiting on a delivery of nail goods from Bangood to get here, which I'm hoping should turn up this week and I will do a mini video on that.  On the 25th I'm going to the NSI near to me as it is VAT free and I'm picking up a lot of stuff so that will be another video to do!  I'm also planning a new toe nail art video once I find the time to paint my toes!  I am also wanting to do a second how to video on fixing a cracked nail, this time with acrylic.

So what's my latest work you ask?  Lets see what I have here for sharing :)
This was one of the designs I have wore recently:

It was done using a fan brush and 4 shades of blue.  I added the rhinestone to give a little bling.  I am so far behind in the video editing, this one might get done before new year!!

I had a gel nail client one of the days I was at college and this is the end result :)  She was a lovely lady and will be back this week for her infill.  I love the colour of this.

This here is a work in progress!  As part of my college units I need to do a creative one and it involves me making up 3 designs and then doing 1 of them on a model who will also have her hair/make up/outfit done; a whole look.  I am thinking of doing sugar skulls as my final choice and this was my first try.  I am going to redo them as a different nail shape, play around with colours some more and see if I can get it to look better.  Overall though this was a good first try!

Here is one of the videos I recently uploaded. (Wow has it been that long since I blogged?!)  Its actually pretty easy to do, just lines and dots :)  Check it out and let me know what you think!

This here I just uploaded on Friday.  It is really simple and super cute!  check it out :)

We got given our acrylic brushes at the college and also I came homemwith a few extra goodies!

I felt like a bit of a thief that day!  The files were the older ones that we replaced with the brand new ones that had come in and the old ones were just going to be thrown out.  some of them were still in ok condition to be used so we were allowed to help ourselves to those.  The magazine was also a freebie and I took home an empty tip box and 2 empty acrylic pots to use as nail art storage.

I loved this design!  Yet another on the pile of videos to edit.... *sigh*  Maybe when I'm off college at Christmas I ca work on getting some of these back dated things done!!  ("maybe")

Lastly for this blog post, this is my current design I am wearing!  I just LOVE this pink.  It is Love's A Beach by China Glaze.  It actually goes on matte like but if you want it glossy just put on a top coat!

Ok thats it for this weeks picture overload!  I will TRY and not take so long to update this but who knows!  Thanks for reading and thanks for supporting my work!  Please visit me on any of my social media and share the passion!

What I've been up to!

Hello!
I feel like it has been ages since I put a post on here!  I have plenty pictures to share with my recent work and my newest video too!  I am expecting a package from BangGood next week so that will be another lil update/video!  In realtion to my Youtube, I made it passed 200 subscribers!!  So happy =)  Thank You to all who have supported me so far!

I had a client getting her nails done for her sons wedding and we matched up the base colour to go with the outfit she was wearing.

 To add the detail I used some silver polish to make flowers and leaves, then placed a pearl in the flower centres.

Next there is some nail art I done on myself.

I loved this one!  The picture doesn't do the colour justice, it was so bright, a true neon colour.  It actually took me a couple days to get used to having something so bright on my nails haha.  I received lots of compliments for this design also.

 For this design I used foil to create the flower, I think it gave it a really nice effect.  I have no idea when I will get round to these 2 tutorials.  My latest video is from nail art 2 months ago!

I did this nail art at college yesterday;

This was really fun to do.  Me and a couple of other students were asked to make some nail art for the Commonwealth Games.  These are all the ones that I made.

This was my first attempt at doing french using acrylic.  Its very hard to do!  I must say that I don't think I actually did too bad at this attempt and I can only get better with more practice!

Lastly I will leave you with the video I uploaded this week of my rainbow dots nail design, I hope you like it!
