Nail care

Hi guys,
Here's a nail care post about what I do to keep my nails healthy.
It is really important to get a lot of calcium for your skin, nails, bones and teeth and it really does help.
I clean out my nails using a nail brush and then once a week, using a cuticle pusher, I go under my nails up until the skin to take out dirt and then around the edge to take out, dust and make sure my nails won't be ingrowing.
Then I push my cuticles back and rub them and my nails with Lush Lemony Flutter Cuticle Balm. This has a gorgeous smell and although I don't have super hard cuticles, it still makes a big difference. It really does also work on hard cuticles.
Then using one of the 4 way file blocks with a buffer, polisher, filer etc. I cannot remember the brand of it but you can get them from loads of places.
I also make sure not to permanently have nail varnish ire false nails on. It does ruin your nails if you always have nail polish on them and you have to get Vitamin D to them via the Sun's rays.
That's all that I really do to take care of my nails but it just makes them look really nice.

Review of Sinful Colours nail varnish

Hi guys,
I still haven't done my lip posts but I thought I would post this review to keep you guys entertained.
If you read my post a couple of posts back, I did a beauty haul and one of the items that I bought were the Sinful Colours Nail Varnishes in Pink Forever. The pic is below.
Recently I have been chatting with someone who's blog is great ( her name on Google is +ShalunyaTanodra ) and because she is from Oklahoma and I am from England, she didn't know you could get Sinful Colours across the pond here in the UK. I think they are relatively new but they are really cheap and reduced to 99p in Boots.
Anyway, onto the actual varnish, it is a great colour that completely finishes an outfit perfectly. Like it says on the bottle, I think it takes two coats but if you are in a rush, one would be fine.
It lasts for about 3 days without chipping without a top coat and about 5 days with. Another great thing about it though is that on dry or flaky nails, it lasts really well with a good top coat!

So this is a great colour and a great bargain and is highly recommended by me! Keep commenting +1 ing and reading! Saffy

My nail varnishes

Hi guys,
So here's my much awaited nail varnish collection:

1. American Apparel Nail Lacquer in Office

A gorgeous colour that lasts for days and is a shiny sheen.

2.  SEVENTEEN Lasting Fix Nail Polish in Pink Grapefruit.

A bright pop of colour great for fingers or toes.

3. Avon Gold Nailwear Pro in Golden Dream

A great gold top layer perfect on its own or over another colour.

4. No7 Stay Perfect Nail Colour in Milan 110

A perfect party colour that is so highly pigmented and glittery that it is the ultimate wow colour!

5. SEVENTEEN Nail Xtras Double Gloss Top Coat.

This is perfect as a top coat but it needs two coats to make it glossy.

6. Collection 2000 Hot Looks Fast Dry in 1(Lola)

This is a pearly colour that is subtle but shimmery.

7. Nail Paint by Barry M in 264 

This is choc full of glitter and looks amazing!

This is a natural gorgeous colour.

9. Avon Nailwear Pro in Real Red

This is a crimson red that I first bought for a Halloween party where I was a devil.

10. No7 Stay Perfect Nail Colour in Minty Fresh 

One of my favourite colours, I love the blue of it. If you want a proper turquoise, it takes 3-4 coats but at least 2.

11. MUA Makeup Academy Nail Varnish in Amaretto Crush

A really nice pink verging on sandy nude. Not very long lasting though.

12. MUA Makeup Academy Nail Varnish in Pistachio Ice Cream

This is a gorgeous colour but like the other MUA colours, it doesn't last that long.

13. Dior Vernis Cruise Nail Lacquer

I adore these colours and a lot of people don't but I love the vividness of these colours.

14. Dior Vernis in 206 Blue Denim

This is one of my nail varnish staples - it's gorgeous!

15. Yves Saint Laurent La Laque Couture in 36 Vert D'Orient 

Another staple of mine - a gorgeous teal colour.
