Saturday Stamping - CBL and Pet'la

Image
Happy Saturday, Today is the 1st in my new weekly feature Saturday Stamping! I used a new Colors by Llarowe polish and my Pet'la Toro plate to create this so lets see it. (I will list stockists at the end) 1 -  2 coats of Colors by Llarowe Did the penny drop? which is a Rainbow Connection exclusive and top coat. Look how amazing this rose gold holo is - its stunning  2 - using my liquid latex I painted around the cuticle.  3 - The Stamping! I cleaned the image with acetone 1st, apply polish - I used EDK Pinguino, scrape off excess with creative scraper and pick up image using my fab ur nails stamper - look how perfect that pick up is. I clean my plate in between nails and clean my stamper with a lint roller.  4 - Once all nails are stamped peel off the latex and clean up any remaining polish with a clean up brush and acetone. Then do the other hand! 5 - Top Coat - this is by far the best top coat for stamping Glisten & Glow HK Girl...

Whats in my Nail Care Bag

Its Friday lovelies...... Hope you have all had a good week and have something fun planned for the weekend. So as a nail tech I am always encouraging my clients to look after their nails in between treatments  and I also get asked a lot about what products to use, so I though i'd share some of my must haves. It's important to remember what works for me might not work for you so you might have to try different things before you find the ones that work for you. But here are the tools and products I cant survive without to care for my nails and when doing my manicures. My Leighton Denny Crystal Nail File is my go to file, I also use these on my clients and always recommend them. They are for all nail types and are a treatment themselves turning the nail to dust as you file, they can also be washed easily and come with a 25 year guarantee. In my opinion this is the only nail file you need to own. I will add that I currently have acrylic overlays and these aren't suitab...

Hi Lovelies, Sorry I have been a bit MIA recently between starting a new job and Christmas prep I have been spreading myself a little thin and haven't had chance to write this post but finally here it is. The final PTR box of December and it really is another goody. This month was all about Christmas movies and lets be honest who doesn't spend most of December watching Christmas films! So joining our PTR residents Colors by Llarowe and Bear Pawlish this month were Cupcake Polish, Lilypad Lacquer and UK Indie Dark Metal Laquer in a box that finished off the year perfectly First from Dark Metal Lacquer is a hot chocolate brown holo with gold flakies inspired by Love Actually. This polish is called To me you are Perfect. Lilypad Lacquer created this amazing baby lilac holo inspired by The Cat in the Hat knows a lot about Christmas called Magic in the Air. It wouldn't be Christmas without a bit of gold and this is a very sophisticated and easy to wea...

Paint The Rainbow Box November

Well polish fans it's that time of the month again (although a little bit early this month) my November Paint the Rainbow box arrived this morning and I was so excited by this box that I had to swatch ASAP! Well the 1st thing I can tell you about this box is that just like all the others this one is incredible, all 5 polishes are gorgeous so Annette and all 5 makers give yourselves a pat on the back because yet again you have outdone yourselves. This months theme was Disney Villains and as a huge Disney fan I couldn't wait to see where the makers took their inspiration from, The box featured our regulars CBL and Bear Pawlish and Julieann of UK brand Freckles was back but this month we had 2 brands making their debut and they have fitted in superbly. Here are the 5 inspiration pictures the makers chose -  There are some real evil villains in there but there is nothing evil about these colours! Here is this months box and we also saw the debut of the new bags...these ...
