Cinderhellie Nails

Happy Saturday Nail Buddies, For those of you that didn't know I am a qualified Nail Technician and have recently qualified in Acrylic Nail extensions, I am now doing an acrylic art qualification and am embracing my love of all things sparkly!! I found an amazing seller on Ebay - GlitterArty Nails and honestly it is glitter heaven so I may have purchased 1 or 2 glitters! Looking through all the products I was instantly taken by some Iridescent Glitters with Gold Ting so bought 10! These can be used with acrylic, gel polish and hard gel and I will be using them in my acrylic art but for swatching purposes I used them with gel polish. So here are the glitters I got These are 008. glitters and I got 5g bags which are 99p - how perfect are these colours for summer, I have so many ideas. Bluebell - a beautiful blue Snap Dragon is a neon pink Iris is also a blue but they are definitely different - I think this is slightly dusky Blossom is a beautiful pink Sun...

It's a new week and I hope you all have some gorgeous manicures planned. I was meant to post this on Friday but things got in the way but at least I am posting!! I will get on top of my blogging schedule soon...I promise!! So as a nail technician I like to use lots of different products and currently one of my most popular is Magpie Beauty glitters and dusts. These are the most amazing sparkly products that can really bling up a manicure, they are fab so today I'm going to show you how I use them with gel polish. I am going to show the application technique for glitter, dust and pigments. Here are the products I am using -  Gel Polish in Black, White and Pale Green  Magpie Products - Dust - Olive, Glitter - Eartha, Pigment - Izzy I only used my applicator and duster brush but I also have the detailer brush. The 1st step is the same for all of the products I prepare the nail for gel application - tidy cuticles, cleanse nail then apply base coat and 2 coat...
