Nail salon results at home!

Hey hey lovelies,

So a few days ago, I thought I would try the Broadway nails Real life brush-on gel nail kit.

Before I start this post and talk about this product, I just want to mention that I didn't get paid nor am I promoting the product in any way as I paid for it myself. Everything I say is based on my opinion and my experience using this product.

As I scanned past the various beauty items in Big W, I came across the nail section (which is by far my most favourite section in ANY stores) and saw this very box hanging all the way at the bottom.

I'll admit that the thing that grabbed my attention was the packaging. I loved the colour and the overall design of the box it came in. As I started reading all the big prints then onto the smaller ones, I started to really like the sound of the product!
It sounded like a very easy way to create salon nails at home!
For me this was a hug YES! Because I love designing my nails without having to spend hundreds of dollars on them.

After examining the box and its content, I decided to buy the product so that I may test it out for myself.
I bought it from Big W for around $24 which I thought was a really good price for them

I was so excited to try out this product that, once I got home, I got it all ready and set out.

The kit contains:

- Brush-on gel 7.5ml
- Brush-On Gel Activator 7.4ml
- Brush cleaner 9.7ml

- 48 self Tab Nail Tips (24 French & 24 Natural), 

- Mini File, 

- Manicure stick

 I made sure to follow the steps carefully as it was the first time I had never done it before.
I first carefully chose each tip by placing them on each of my nails and laying them out in front of me.
Since I have really small fingers, I picked all the small ones from the pack, leaving all the big ones...

 After a few minutes of placing and gluing the tips on my nails, I then followed the rest of the steps by applying the Brush-On Gel and the Brush-On Activator making sure to dip in into the brush cleaner after each nail.

I was quite pleased with the results. My nails looked so professionally done when really it took me about half an hour to get them to look like that! Awesome, isn't it?

There was only ONE thing I didn't like about it and that was how long it took the Gel to dry. It took me a really long time and got things (plastic bags) stuck on it while trying to move a few things.
I eventually went to sleep and woke up with a print on one of my nails so that wasn't fun. Yes I'm really that Impatient :p

If you want to get salon nails at half the price then I definitely would recommend this product!

Have you or someone you know tried this product before? Did they like it? Or have you just seen it in a store? Let me know! :)
Anyway that's all from me this time chickens!

A little update

Hey Lovelies,

I know I haven't been posting as much lately so I thought I'd give you a little update on what I've been up to.

Now as much as I wish I could say that I have been flooded with so much work or busy doing super cool things like climbing a mountain or fighting a dragon, unfortunately my answer to the lack of posts is just that I've been too lazy to write.

I've actually been up to a lot, I went shopping, worked, made and edited videos but that does not excuse me of my laziness as I have spent so much time just watching YouTube videos and searching up random things on Google search instead of actually doing something productive with my life *sigh*

well what can you do...

But yesterday I painted my nails! I thought i'd be a bit creative and tried a little french manicure but with a little twist!

I would love to promise you that I will post everyday but I know I can't do that! But what I can promise you is that blogging is something I love to do and my blog will be active forever and ever and ever and ever....

What have you been up to lately? Did you fight off any dragons or climb a mountain?

Shiny nails!

Hello Lovelies!

Who doesn't love shiny nails that make you look 100% more fabulous than you already feel?
So if you have read some of my past posts you would've seen that i'm quite a nail polish lover and I always try to find new designs and colours to try!

I have ugly fingers sorry

However, because I have started working at a Fish & Chips shop (- I know right, real classy!) I haven't been able to do my nails as much as I would normally do! :(

And when I had the chance to do my nails, I jumped at the opportunity to and quickly headed to my mum's make up cabinet!

And found an old nail polish that I had never tried so I thought "why not?"

To get the result which is shown in the first picture, I used fake nails so that they may be longer and easier to shape.
The nails can be bought at most retail shops.

After measuring the nails and gluing them on, I proceeded to apply a first layer of the ultra 3 nail colour and once dry another layer was applied before adding a clear top coat to lock in all that shininess!

I was really surprised at how good it turned out, it looked more silver than what it looks like in the bottle and I loved this new nail polish so much that I adopted it as one of my own (hehe sorry mum)

Are you a nail polish lover like me? Are there any that you love? If so, please let me know and/or link me to your post! I would love to read about it!

Lots of Love, Karine xx

Retreat!

Hello guys!

Lately  I've been busy packing! For the school retreat and I'm also moving house! It's exciting but requires me to do so much packing... Anyways I thought I'd share with you some of the things I picked up for myself this week!



Orange nail polish..

For retreat I decided to get a much smaller shower gel since I didn't want to carry a huge one around in my bag! I went with Palmolive Natural Milk and Honey shower milk because it smells amazing and oh I feel like I'm bathing in heaven. It's amazing and leaves your skin feeling so soft! It's a really great product! And while shopping I found this Bright orange BCco nail polish. I picked it up for only $2 at Kmart! I just love this colour! It's gorgeous!

The other item was not on my list but when I saw it, I couldn't resist! I HAD to try the new Lynx for women deodorant body spray! It actually smells soo good! I love this product and yeah I don't know what else there is to say! It's nice!

Okay so I'm all packed and ready for retreat! This should be interesting and what I hope will be a great experience! That's all from me for now!

Let me know if you do use or would love to try any of these products and if you love or hate them!

Lots of love, Karine xx

Nail Polish for school!

Hello!! :) :)

I've always loved nail polishes, red, blue, yellow, green, purple, pink, black, aqua, you name it and I'll wear it! I love the look of painted nail but the only time I could ever wear them was on weekends or during the holidays and that was really annoying because school don't allow nail polish!

So I went everywhere looking for a natural-looking colour but couldn't find one that I liked! :(

But for Christmas, my parents surprised me with 10 new nail polishes

(there's only 9 here because I misplaced one :/ )

 I instantly fell in love with them! Not only for their cute little bottles but because the colours are so beautiful! And there I noticed that I could wear two of them for school since they didn't stand out as much as the others.

These two are so adorable and very light! It's perfect for a natural look. I've worn the one on the left for two weeks now and no teachers have noticed so far which is great! The one on the right I have on now, It's a lovely silky colour and really shines when the light hits it! It looks amazing! 

This red is so bright and I can't help but love this colour! Since it's too noticeable, I decided to paint my toe nails instead! I love the fact that it makes them stand out! It's a lovely colour!

What I love about these nail polishes is that they are very simple and don't take too long to dry which is always good for impatient people like me! :p 

So if you're a nail polish lover like me but can't wear them because of school, try and find a colour that looks natural or doesn't stand out as much! It still makes your nails look awesome but doesnt attract the eyes of teachers!
