Got some Minx foils on their way to me. Can't wait to try them!

Nail Effects - Nails Inc.

I like to experiment with different effects and patterns you can create on the nail so when I got a Nails Inc. magnetic varnish from my best friend for my birthday I was very eager to try it out!

Colour - Trafalgar Square

How it works is that it comes with a magnet on the lid which creates the effect from the iron particles in the polish! Clever right? On my varnish, the instructions were in french so I thought I'd put a little tutorial on here incase yours was the same :-)

To apply, you need to put a thin layer on the nail for the first coat and let that coat dry for a couple of minutes. The second layer is where the magnet comes in - apply a thicker second coat and straight away take the magnet and rest the curved lip on the skin just below the cuticle so the magnet hovers over the nail and keep it there for a couple of seconds making sure it doesn't touch the nail! Repeat on each nail and leave until dry before putting on a top coat to complete the look with a glossy finish!

Here is the end result:

Shellac - Layering!

Colours - Hotski to Tchotchke with Strawberry Smoothie on top to create a teal colour. I kept the ring finger with just Hotski to Tchotchke to show the difference.

Shellac - Who knew?!

I have just been on the CND website and have found all the amazing layering colours you can achieve by using two Shellac colours to create a new individual colour!

So WATCH THIS SPACE!!!
