Happy Monday Lovelies, I hope you have all had a great bank holiday weekend? Mine hasn't quite gone to plan so I thought I would bring you this post on how I created my latest Gel Mani. I often like to use gel on my nails as I can then forget about them for a week or so and they still look perfect, I am fully qualified in gel polish application and as it's a treatment I offer my clients I have a huge range of colours  - If you would like to see more gel polish posts please let me know. Anyway I was very excited because last week I managed to get my hands on the amazing new Holo Pigment from Magpie Beauty .

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...

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...
