Getting CLEAN cuticles when using nail varnish! Removing nail varnish from cuticles.

I didn't really mind when I used to drown my cuticles in nail polish. Back then my hands weren't taken care of, I didn't even moisturise them when they were dry! Now my cuticles are treated a little better, but I find that my cuticles are softer, and the nail varnish is no longer stopped by them, but instead it seeps under the cuticle and leaves a mess and a horrible looking nail. Here's a quick tip to clean them out! It does take time, but it makes your nails look SO much better!

Here are the tools!

Acetone 

Small nail art brushes or paintbrushes.

1. It's a really easy method, just use the brushes dipped in acetone to gently clean the cuticle from any nail varnish. The acetone is quite strong, so only a few swipes of the brush. I also recommend that after dipping the brush in acetone dab it gently on some tissue to get rid of excess. 

2. When you're done with both hands, make sure to wipe the brushes on clean tissue and make sure the brushes are clean by swirling them in acetone. Pinch them back into shape, and store safely. 

3. Your nails might feel dry after acetone, so gently apply moisturiser to stop your hands from getting too dry. 

Nice and clean, and the polish looked neater too. This was my first time trying, and I'll make sure to do it every time I paint my nails :)

Mini Haul - Avon base coat, Avon mascara, Too Faced Shadow primer, Sally Hansen Hard as Nails polish, nail art brushes

When I buy beauty related things, I search the internet for reviews like no other. Heck, I won't buy things unless there's a review. I hate sending things back to shops because it costs me and it takes time, so everything I buy has been reviewed by at least one person online. Also, I buy everything online. I don't go to town to often and the great thing about buying things online is that it is 99% cheaper. All of these things were bought on Ebay, and none of them cost over £5! Compared to highstreet price everything here was a steal ;3

And so, the haul!

 Too Faced shadow insurance, Avon nails experts revitacool base coat, Sally Hansen Hard as Nails (In White Tip) and Avon Super Enchant mascara. I've been needing all these things for a while, and they all had great reviews online. Hoping they live up to it! ;3

 Ahhh, Ebay nail art brushes! If I really want to get into nail art then I'll definitely be using these! They seem to be good quality, and as a beginner paying under £3 is a steal! Can't wait to try these.

I feel so guilty about these tights. Oh don't get me wrong, suspender tights are absolutely fine, I like them a lot. It's just these are my 3rd and 4th pair! (I bought 2 pairs) I previously somehow while sitting in a car sat on a staple or something, and the top lighter portion of the tights snagged and there was no saving them then. And then, when I ordered another pair, I pulled them on too quickly and my fingernail went through ad caused a massive hole! Dx God, I need to be more careful with these things! So, 3rd and 4th pairs, I need to treat them like they're made out of gold otherwise my carelessness is gonna cost me for the 3rd and 4th time!


That's all for me guys, stayed tuned for a review or two, depending on when or how I end up using these!

REVIEW: Revlon Nail Polish/Varnish: 863 Ruby Ribbon and 919 Black Lingerie

Hey guys! I bought these polishes a little while ago, but only recently used them. Here's a quick review :)

919, Black Lingerie. A pretty intense black in the bottle, but on nails? It's actually a bit streaky. One thin coat and I could see the lines of my nails show through. Nevertheless, it is still very good! 2 thin coats (the way it should be done really) is great for this one, and it is a nice true black when applied. 

A nice, very opaque polish. A darker red, more like burgundy if anything. Has some nice silver shimmer to it, applies well. You could do well with just one coat of this stuff.

And here's a quick pattern I did - my first time doing it with a hairpin actually. You get a hair pin/ bobby pin and bend it so it looks like a V shape. Use one of the bobble ends to make nail varnish dots you your nail.

Overall, Revlon have a pretty go reputation for nail varnishes so I do recommend them! 

See you later guys! :)
