HB06 + ' Butterflies In A Meadow '

Hey ladies!

I'm SO Sorry I've been absent from my blog recently =( .

On Monday i started training for a new role in my workplace that required me to fly to Edinburgh on Thursday morning. I returned home Friday night.

Although i have 3 posts currently queued up...I thought id skip forward to a manicure 
i did yesterday =).

I'm not sure if i like or dislike this manicure =-/...so ill let you guys give me some 
feedback on it =).

(All pictures can be enlarged)


For this manicure i used :

- Sinful Colors - Hazard (Orange) , Unicorn (Yellow) and Mint Apple (Green).
- A sponge.
- HB06.
- Some Mixed Green and Silver - fraulein 38 Nail Art Liners.
- Konad Special Blue Polish.


 As i said I'm not sure how i feel about this manicure...the butterflies didn't stamp as crisp as i would usually like...but i do like it at the same time?!? =-/ lol.

I love how colour this manicure feels though.

Here (below) is the before stamping picture =).


I will be doing another manicure using the HB06 plate, so swatches will follow soon =).

White On Fingernails

White spots on nails can be very confusing, because you don't necessarily have a nail problem. There really is no known reason for why these white spots happen, although white marks on fingernails can be caused for a verity of reasons.

You could have injured one of your nails, for example, maybe you banged your nail against a chair as you were walking past. After a bang to the nail, you probably won't notice anything for a few weeks, by that time, you would have forgotten about banging your fingernail and probably wondering how that little white mark got there.
What you have done is cause injury to the nail bed and the white spot on your nail can be compared to a bruise. In this case, it will grow out as your nail grows.
http://designnail.blogspot.com/

Other Reasons Why You May Have White Spots On N ails

Lack of vitamins such as, zinc, calcium, iron and vitamin D.
A lack of vitamins and minerals has not been proven to be the cause of white spots on finger nails, yet it does make sense if you are lacking certain nutrients. Your body is giving you signs and one of them is these little white marks. If you like to have a manicure done on a regular basis, you may notice white marks on your nails. This can happen because of excessive pressure being put on the base of the fingernail. In this case they need to grow out.
http://designnail.blogspot.com/
An allergic reaction to certain nail products such as nail hardeners and nail lacquer may cause white spots on nails, as can a mild nail infection can cause white spots. If your fingernails were to turn completely white, then you have a serious nail problem and it could be the sign of a liver disease. Although I think if you were suffering from something so severe, you would have had other health signs long before your nails turning white.
http://designnail.blogspot.com/
Yet, if your nails are turning white, a trip to the doctor is in order. You must also be careful these white marks are not the first sign of a nail fungus problem. Usually, white spots on fingernails are nothing to worry about and they will grow out in time. If you find you suffer from them quite often, I suggest you take the above mentioned vitamins and massage your fingernails daily with an oil such as, solar oil, vitamin E oil or olive oil.
http://designnail.blogspot.com/
If you intend to cover your white marks with nail polish, don't forget to put on a base coat first, especially if you are wearing dark nail polish colors. A base coat will help prevent your nails from turning yellow, and help your nail polish last longer.

Do you ever wonder how the celebrities have the perfect nails when you see them in photo shoots, red carpet events and in magazine? Well this is simply because they have a good nail artist to do their manicures and pedicures and they get to be paid well. But you don't need to look for a manicure artist for the celebrities; any manicure artist can do what you ask them too. Doing manicures and pedicures take skill and if you tell them what you want your nail to look like, they can easily do it for you.

The first process to achieving attractive nails is getting them cleaned. Your manicure artist will remove your old polish first by using a polish remover and cotton. All remaining old nail polish should be removed. Now, she can soak your nail in water to soften your cuticle and nails. After a few minutes, she can now cut your nails to your desired length. Tell your nail artist specifically how long you want your nails to be. Now, your nails will be filed to get the desired shape.

http://designnail.blogspot.com/

Once she has cut it, it is now time to get your old cuticles out. She will need a pusher and a cuticle remover solution to get it out. Your nail artist must be gentle and doing this as to not scrap of any other deeper than your old cuticles. You must also check how soft and hard she is when he pushes the cuticle off.

http://designnail.blogspot.com/

After this, it is time to use the nail clippers to remove the extra tags of your skin beside it. This is the dry and hard portions of the side of it and getting them out will make it feel lighter and cleaner all around. Once this is done, you are now ready for some paint. Choose a nail polish that you like depending on your mood that day or if it needs to be matched with your dress. If there are many colors to choose from, you can ask the manicure artist to test it first so you will know the actual color.

http://designnail.blogspot.com/

To apply the nail polish coats, 2-3 times depending on the nail polish. Normally, it is the top and base coat. The base coat consists of one layer of nail polish and once it is dry, another coat of colored polish is painted over. This will make your nail polish stronger and not easy to remove when scratched. You can opt for glossy finish too.

http://designnail.blogspot.com/Today, there are many nail art that you can put on your nails. There are nail stickers you can easily stick. But what most is raving about is how a nail artist can paint designs onto your nails. Imagine having a very small canvas and having to paint a character there using just nail polish. It really takes skill and effort so you need to pay your nail artist well if you.

H2 + 'Orange Goodness!'

Hey Ladies!

Yesterday was a good day for me =).

Ive been using my Nokia N96....for Too Long! 
But yesterday - I got a shiny new phone =)...I upgraded my contract to a shiny, new Galaxy S2 .

My boyfriend thought it would be a great idea to do my nails in orange- as my contract is with orange (I love it , when he gets involved with my passion <3)

Here's what i came u with:

(All pictures can be enlarged)


For this Manicure i used:

- Image plate H2
- Nails Inc - Candy Orange ( the free polish i got with InStyle Magazine).
- Essence Nail Art Black Stampy Polish.


I love this design - its defiantly different!

See below,  for a picture without the flash - to show how awesome this design really is.


My new phone *Happy Face* * - i love that it comes with the kindle app ...as well as loads more apps =))).


When i got home after picking up my new phone, i had a package waiting for me =). 

My XL C-F plates had arrived !!!!.

I know what you all thinking... is she crazy?!?!...shes brought a lot of plates recently...why more?!?...well i have a answer for that question.

When i got my XL A-B plates in December- i immediately regretted not getting the rest of the XL plates...i went on Magno Nails to place the extra order...but there was only XL A, B, D & E
 left =-//... 

They've only just been restocked due to the plates being so damn popular...so i immediately ordered the remaining plates before the same thing happened again  =).

I will be doing Swatches of these plates for you guys very soon =). 


Here is a picture of some *yummy*  Double chocolate Muffins i made today....they are SO good =).

Ive recently made a pledge to bake more. ...So far everything Ive made has tasted very yummy!.
