    Feeling Like A Sir

    This week I found a gem of a bargain when I was in Asda. Don’t judge me when I tell you I buy clothes and jewellery from there on a regular basis! I was browsing the girls jewellery, as you do, and I spotted a little packet of moustaches. There was no indication on the packaging as to what they were but using my detective skills I quickly deduced that they were in fact, as I had immediately suspected, nail decals! Hidden away amongst the pink clip in hair streaks and plastic tiaras!
    They were a complete steal at £1.50 for 48 stickers and they’re absolutely great. They’re kind of foamy and the adhesive layer is really thin so they’re easy to handle and stick to the nails really well. The first time I wore them, I used a top coat and they were unmovable. This time around I didn’t and the sticker slid off after about 12 hours of wear so go for a top coat if you’re going to try them yourself. 
    The smallest design, the curly one, immediately made me think of the ‘Feel Like A Sir‘ meme so of course I had to put it on my nails!

    I used Sally Hansen Dorian Grey and A-England Guinevere as my base colours with a coat of WellNails Rock In The New Year on my thumb. The Mo’ decal is, as previously stated, from Asda and I painted on the Sir using a nail art brush and acrylic paint.
    Everything is topped with a coat of No7 Stay Perfect Top Coat except for the sticker, I put that on after the top coat.

    Look Beauty: Nail Pop Glamrock Swatch and Nail Art

    The Nail Pops from Look Beauty have been on my wishlist for a while now but at £5 for a 10ml bottle, they’re a bit out of my every day price range. Luckily for me, they’re running money off offer across the range and the Nail Pops have £2 off. Now £3 a bottle is a price that won’t keep me awake at night, so I indulged in the shade that struck me most out of the range – Glamrock. It’s purple glitter packed in to a deep berry jelly and can I just say? It’s amazing!
    I was tempted by just about every single colour in the range but I’m trying to limit my polish purchases because I’m running out of space to store it all! I’ve decided I’m only going to purchase polishes that really stand out from the crowd and only if I don’t have something similar in my collection already. Glamrock definitely fits that criteria and I also have my eye on Catsuit from the same range – it’s a blue glitter but the pieces are a bit chunkier.
    As gorgeous as this colour is I was dreading removal, as I always do with glitters, but it came of surprisingly easily. It did need a bit more work than ‘normal’ polishes but I think it was easier than quite gritty glitters because the glitter is very fine.
    All pictures are 3 thin coats with a top coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast. You’d be safe with two thicker coats but I wanted quite heavy coverage.

    More Stickers

    Here are some more nail stickers from Viva La Nails over Barry M Raspberry. There is a random sequin on my index finger there! It must have got stuck to my nails when I was rummaging round in my supplies.
    These stickers look amazing and I gave them a fairly good review a few weeks ago but I think I’ve changed my mind after wearing them.
    With these particular stickers, the silver wore off to reveal black underneath after just a few hours.
    They are also a nightmare to remove. They won’t come off in one piece once you’ve applied a top coat so you have to literally scratch them off in little pieces.
    I’ll be sticking to water decals in the future which remove easily with a bit of Nail Varnish Remover.

    Viva La Nails Rhinestone Sticker Review

    These are some of the nail stickers I received from Viva La Nails to review. 
    These stickers are really cute and dainty. I’ve used nails stickers before and have not always been very pleased with them. They often peel off or look too chunky and a bit tacky but these ones are great.
    These are really sleek and stick to the nail really well without obvious edges. 
    There a tiny bit of peeling on the thumb where you can see part of the flower is missing, it was there went I went to bed but disappeared over night. The peeling only happened when I put a topcoat over the stickers and I suppose you could just leave the top coat.

    It was strange trying these as I’m so used to my Konad/Fauxnads but I think they’re great. They’re so much quicker and easier than stamping so great if you’re in a rush, but I’m still a dedicated Konad fangirl!
