Look Beauty Nail Pops, Lepoard style!

I love nail art, and by the last post i did i thought ild treat you all to another! Im currently bed bound with the worst flu-cold type thing ever. So what better way then to spend my day perfecting my nails. Its defiantly cheering me up!
I LOVE the nail pop nail polishes from Look beauty, there glossy, hard wearing and easy to apply. And considering my window shows me only a gloomy day, i thought ild brighten it up with these nails!
I Used...
Left to right - Nail pop in Flares, Top Coat in Strengthening top coat and Nail pop in Juice.

Finished look...
 How i did it...
1. File and base coat the nail, ive gone for a square shape.
2. I took juice and did two coats, just as normal and let to fully dry.
3. Take your leopard print spot colour, (i have flares), and make sure theres not too much on the brush. Just spot on your nails, doesn't have to be neat, do some big spots and some small spots.
4. Take a liquid eyeliner, can be any liquid eyeliner, i use a felt tip one because it gives me more of a controllable line, and draw around the spots, some not all the way round, most of mine Ive just drawn half way round.
5. Leave to fully dry (important) and apply top coat. I use Nail pop top coat as it lasts FOREVER!

Hope you enjoy and have a go yourself!
Lots of love.

Nails of the day!

Just a qwick little post today. Ive only just got home from work and my throat feels like im swallowing razorblades but i HAD to show you my nails, because if truth be told, im pretty proud of them.
I used...
(Sorry for my shocking paint skills, i hope this is clear enough). While im here can i just express my love for these AMAZING glitter nail files! Small things please small minds, so they say.

Heres my finished look...
(Sorry im holding the eyeliner, took this picture for twitter and this is the clearest picture of the nails!)

How i did it...
Firstly i used the nail files to file my nails to desired shape. Then used the base coat to stop staining and to give a smoother base for my colours.
Then i used Pink Friday from the Nicki Minaj OPI collection and applied 2 coats to each nails and left to dry.
Once dry, i used Fly (also from the Nicki Minaj OPI collection) and very carefully used the small brush to sweep a diagional tip from each side, to create a zig-zag kind of impression. Overlap the diagional tip to create look. Doesnt have to be amazingly neat, we can sort that out later.
Left to completly dry and use your MUA felt tip eyeliner (can be any eyeliner, but this is so easy to use as its like a pen) and cover any mistakes and to create a even line.
Leave to completly dry. Then add a layer of top coat. I use Look Beauty Nail Pop (this stuff is amazing!). I did the top coat before the white dots as i did one nail white dots before top coat and it smeared all over my nail. Not cool.
Once top coat is dry, carefully use the white nail art pen and place dots along the eyeliner line. (you can use any colour, i just used white because its what i had).
Leave it to dry for a couple hours then apply top coat to the whole thing.
If you have any questions please comment me!

Hope you like and hope you start experimenting with your polishes with this design! MUA have told me that Shades 9 and 16 work a treat together. Hope you like.

Thanks!

Look Beauty!

From the kings and queens that make and design look magazine, they have now created a new make up range called Look Beauty. With there ranges of foundations, powders, eyeshadows, lipsticks and nail varnishes, ive manged to get my paws on a blush, eyeshadow set and some stunning nail varnishes.
This is a brand spanking new range and ranges from prices £4 - £18 (for a set). A percentage of the price of the products goes towards charity. So in my world, buying fab make-up and helping out a charity is right up my street.
The triple hit 3-way eyeshadow set comes in a few differnt colours (retailing at £7.50) but since im a sucker for a brown eye this has got to be my favorite shades. There shimmery and glowing shades. Perfect for the ultimade brown smokey eye. The set ive got is called La Luxe (shade 1). On the back it states 'Three colour hits in one, wear them solo or blend for a super hot smoke'.
L-R- Gold shimmer (top right on above picture), Brown shimmer (top left on above picture), Beige shimmer (bottom half on above picture).

The blush i own is amazing, its in shade Flirt (shade 1) and comes in magnet-held case.
The shade is a peachy shimmer colour, its quiet dark and comes out very pigmented, i useully go for a pale pink colour or a bronzer, but i would definatly give this a go with just a sweep over my cheeks to just add a little summer glow to my cheeks. 
As you can see the colour is very pigmented and (yes i have sweeped quiet alot on my hand to give a true colour) and obviously you wouldnt put that much on your cheeks but this looks fab just a small amount. Perfect for summer for the perfect glow. 


I have too many nail varnishes for my own good, like any typical girl what my monthly wadges mostly goes in is beauty, fashion and chocolate. The Look Beauty varnishes are literally amazing. True to colour and beautiful shades. Unfortunatly, due to the amount of nail varnishes i have i havent had chance to swatch any of them yet, but to be honest with you the colour is true to the pot. 
Ive tried to make the picture as big as possible so you can see the shade names. I LOVE pearl effect!
My favorite shades are Glamrock (left) and Pearl Effect (right). They are amazing, and for those who have read my blog before, you will be fully aware at my un-natural obsession with glitter. These nail varnishes retail at £5 each, bargin for a high qwality polish. 

Thanks for reading!
