D.I.Y Matte Nails!

HELLO!

For today's blog I thought I would share with you how to create Matte nails at home without having to pay for a top coat!

Matte nails have become very popular recently, and a lot of brands have been releasing nail polishes that either dry matte or top coats that will dry your nail polish to look matte, but what do you do if you either can't afford to or would rather not spend the extra money on buying these types of polishes?

That is where I aim to help you! 

This nail tutorial does not use cornstarch. Adding cornstarch to wet nail polish is a very popular method of getting nails to dry matte the problem I find with this is that when you're trying to make darker colours dry matte the cornstarch can give the colour a white cast and that's not what you want!

I recommend reading this whole post at least once before you attempt this look just so you know when to do each step!

Read on to find out how to create matte nails with out buying the specially formulated polishes or cornstarch!

I HEART Summer Tag!

Hello everyone!

So this week in England summer has finally decided to show up! Okay maybe it showed up in London a while ago but I live in the north west and the weather has been really hit and miss recently, we've had nice weekends here and there but this is the first time we have had a solid week of high temperatures. So I thought I would celebrate the summer in this post, since it may be my only opportunity given how short lived a British Summer can be. (For reference last year we pretty much had one nice week in May in the north west, the rest was cloudy, with 90% chance of rain.)

So without further adieu let's jump right in to the I HEART Summer Tag!
