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!

This or That Tag!

Hello Everyone Happy Friday!

So where I live the weather is forecast to be pretty nice tomorrow so I am heading to the beach and will be taking Game of Thrones with me.
Any way enough with the rambling, today I present to you the This or That Tag combining, beauty, books and Random! Enjoy!


Makeup:

1. Blusher or Bronzer?
I have naturally rosy cheeks so it would have to bronzer for contouring.

2. Lip gloss or Lipstick?
Always Lipstick I can't stand lip gloss especially when it's windy and your hair sticks to it, it's not very pleasant!

3. Eye-liner or Mascara?
I have really blonde eyelashes so always mascara.

4. Foundation or Concealer?
Concealer! Foundation never covers enough!

5. Neutral or colour eye-shadow?
definitely neutral, I rarely wear colourful I shadow.

Thursday 11th of July) So I picked up the remaining products I would need to create a nail design based on the cute Yellow Minions from the popular film Despicable Me!
