Easy and Stunning Manicure

Hello lovelies,

Please excuse my lack of posts lately,  as I just had my baby girl a week ago (wooowhoo!!!) and had been in and out of the hospital for a little over a month prior to her birth(we are now and both home and doing great). If you want to know more check out the link for my mommy blog above, I will be doing an update on there soon.

On to today's post....

I recently received my first ever voxbox from influenster and could not wait to show you all what I got.
If you are unaware influenster is a free subscription like service where you get the chance to try out new products and all you have to do once you get them is, to tell the world your thoughts! You sign up for different "badges" and earn points towards new boxes. Super easy to sign up and it's totally free. If you haven't signed up yet, I highly recommend you do!!

Within this box were two different imPress press on manicure designs by broadway nails. To be honest I never thought press on nails looked realistic and they always fall off within a couple of days. But, after trying these ones my mindset for press on nails has forever changed. The application is so easy and you get 24 nails in 12 different sizes.
Being a new mommy, I have no time or energy to give myself a full out manicure, so these are perfect. They are fast (you can even apply them in the car on your way to wherever your going) and actually last, plus if you keep the backings you can reuse them. What I love most about them is how glossy they are without looking like plastic. Also the length is perfect, not too long and too short. Being artificial also means no maintenance, momma like!!! If you were to go to a salon and get shellac or acrylic, you would have to go back and get them filled or maintained, but that is completely unnecessary with these. With so many different designs and colours offered the possibilities are endless and you can change them whenever you want, without damaging your real nails. For the price that you pay to buy these press on nails ($10.99 CAD), they are so worth it and I would definitely purchase them in more colours and designs.

What are your current go to nail products for the Spring?

Until next time....

Cute bow nails

Hello lovelies,

Today's post is going to be on how I created my bow nails!

Step1: apply avon gel strength base coat (my fave ever!!)

Step2: apply two coats of avon nail wear pro+ in cotton candy (let the polish dry inbetween coats)

Step3: using avons nail art enamel in delicate white draw to white parallel lines on an angle

Step4: using avons lip brush or a wooden cuticle stick and drag the centre of the lines inwards towards one another creating two triangles. Repaint over the triangles to get the desired size/shape if needed.

Step5: using a silver polish (I used heaven nail laquer) and create a dot/circle in the centre of the two triangles and let dry.

Step6: put on your top coat (avon uv gloss guard) and let dry.

Now you have adorable bow nails!!!

I hope yoy all enjoyed this post and that you are having an awesome weekend.  Please comment below and tell me what you would like to see next on my blog!!! (Tutorials, tags, whatever you want leave it below)
