Cinderhellie Nails

Hope everyone is having a good week, I am a bit manic lately which is why I have been quiet on my social media but I wanted to share these with you. I was lucky enough to be chosen as the winner of the lovely Gemmas giveaway on instagram, she had teamed up with Itsy Nails and the prize was 3 beautiful polishes. I got home from work one day last week and the package was waiting for me and honestly I couldn't believe it when I opened it. I was only expecting 3 polishes but Gemma had very kindly added lots of extras - nail vinyls, transfers, fines, dotting tools and a cute little mirror. There were also lots of sweeties which I gave to my nephew as I recently joined slimming world! The polishes were even more beautiful in real life and I couldn't wait to try them. I have mixed feelings about some of the gel effect polishes on the market so was keen to try a different brand. I'll show you my swatches then give you my thoughts. 1st up is this gorgeous sunny yellow ca...

Hi everyone, Hope you are having a good week, Today I have some swatches of the new Pretty Serious collection. When I saw these on Facebook I instantly fell in love and knew I had to have them and as I haven't bought much polish recently I decided to treat myself to the full collection. These are a gorgeous creme pastel collection and straight away I knew they would be good because they were a good formula not to thick like some pastels can be but not to thin so I had a feeling they would be easy to apply and I was right! Lets get on with the swatches and believe me if you haven't got any of these you need them. This is the green in the collection - its a minty pastel green called Bunny-Foo-Foo. I'm a bit hit and miss with pink at the moment and haven't worn it for ages but I instantly fell in love with this one, it is the perfect pastel pink called Fluffykins. I always love a good peach for summer and without a doubt this is a good peach, its ca...

Happy Monday everyone, Hope you all had a fab weekend and monday morning hasn't been too stressful. I have an unplanned morning off as my nephew is poorly and didn't go to school so I have taken the morning off to look after him so I thought I would use the time to do some swatches and a post. I haven't been buying much polish recently as I have been mainly wearing gel and I wanted to put some money into getting some bits for my business so put myself on a very low buy but I decided stamping polish can be used for work too so these didn't count!! I actually got my 1st HTB polishes for Christmas and have used them a bit but I never did a review/swatches of them so I thought now I had a few more I would. Hit the Bottle is an Australian Indie brand that makes 5 free stamping polishes. So lets get on with the swatches - My Hit the Bottle Collection  Looking for Mr Grey is a grey creme and stamps great over black and white. Lets go to the Peach is exactly...

Happy Bank Holiday Nail Lovers. So about 6 weeks ago I finally completed and passed my Acrylic Overlay Nails with Essential Nails. It was the 4th course I have completed with them and I have loved all of them. The great thing about EN is there is no time limit on these courses. I signed up to do acrylics 2 years ago but really struggled to find my passion for it and wanted to focus on my love for natural nails. Then in September after 1 too many nail breaks I decided to get acrylics put on my own nails and this is what spurred me to complete the course as I decided I would be the perfect person to practice on! I did my own infills for several months and finally found my love for acrylic so got my qualification. Over the past few weeks I have added Acrylics to my treatment menu and have started to offer them to clients. All my acrylic work is hand filed with good quality products and I'm hoping to help get rid of the thought that acrylics damage your nails because they don...
