Quick Festive Nails | imPress Manicure

               Hiya!
Just a little nail help here. I've always been big into nail polish, I own a lot but I've recently started to dabble with false nails a little more and I'm loving it. I tried these Impress press on manicure nails and was pleasantly surpirsed. 
'Rated R'
'Peach Shimmer'
When I thought of press on nails I saw the crappy little bits of plastic I had when I was younger that popped off after 10 minutes when I tried to lift something. These nails stay on super well even while I'm working wih jewellery and clasps all day and look like professional gel nails! I thought they were the perfect fix for your nails especially at this time of year if you have somewhere fancy to go or just want to feel a little but more polished and finished than usual. They take only a few minutes to apply and you don't have to wait around for nail polish to dry and pray it doesn't smudge while you're getting ready. They also come in some really cool designs and from tonnes of brands which I'll definitely be picking up! The 2 I show here are normally £5.99 and £7.99 for the glitter ones which is a little pricey to be wearing them all the time but a nice pamper every so often without the price tag of getting them done professionally. 

Have you tried any press on nails before?
Hope you guys enjoyed!

Festive Nails || 12 Days of Christmas

               Hiya!
So, I pretty much suck at blogging everyday, was so busy yesterday after school I didn't have time to get anything up, sorry guys!!
Anyway I thought I would share my favourite festive nails look I've come up with this year. It includes one of my favourite nail polishes of all time, Barry M's 'Raspberry'. And some Models Own glitter polishes.
 
As you can see when I wear glitter on my nails I only like to put it on the ring finger and thumb as accent nails. I first put on 2 coats of Barry M's 'Raspberry' to ensure a really opaque colour and base. Next I take the Models Own glitter polish 'Southern Lights' and apply this to the top half of my nail, then continue it until almost the bottom but a lot lighter so it looks like it's fading away. The chunkier glitter is Models Own 'Blizzard' and I apply this to the very top of my nails. I use both the fine and chunky glitter in  this order to create an almost gradiate effect.
 
What do you guys think of this look?
Hope you guys enjoyed!
Love, Julie xx
