Glitter gradiant nails

Here are some christmassy nails i did for the festive season. I used fuji by essie as a base colour and then used one of my favourite glitter polishes rose quartez from barry m and just built it up on the edge of my nail and graduated It further up my nail. I also, as usual, used my boots 200 nails . I love how this turned out. Its a perfect snowflake christmassy set. The day after I did these I went to work dressed as an angel so theyworked perfectly. Did you do any festive nail art? I would love some inspiration for nect year.

Hope you all had a good christmas x

Wedding hair - done by me

I thought I would share a few photos of some bridal hair I did back in October. This lady wanted a really soft updo to create a slightly vintage feel to her day. She had ALOT of hair so it was a struggle to try and get it all up especially when it's so difficult to make dark hair look detailed. I really enjoyed doing the hair up as she is one of my regular clients and I felt at ease. Jane was kind enough to drop some photos off in the salon with a thankyou note so I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to share these photos with you. If you would like some hair up tutorials please ask. I hope you like these photos as much as I do!

pastel orange nails!

Pastel orange nails
I did these nails at the start of the week for everyday work. I use boots (200 false nails) and re-do them every week or if i'm going out at the weekend i will do them to suit my outfit. I thought this was a nice simple design that would brighten up my day to day black/white/grey uniform.

 I used Tart deco by Essie. I have never been a huge fan of Essie, i think maybe, because of all the hype that was created over them I was bound to be disappointed when using the product. It was a lot better than a few of my previous purchases from them as it only took two thin coats to create a opaque affect. The thing that won me over was the colour. it is so beautiful a really soft pastel orange. Its a nice bright colour without being garish. The nail polish lasted unchipped for around 5 days. As a hairdresser im constantly working with wet hair and oily products which make my nails weaker and more prone to chip. so i was impressed they lasted this long as other Essie polishes have peeled off after a small chip!

On my ring finger i chose rose quarts by Barry M. I absolutely love this colour. i think it is beautiful. It is a very pale lilac with chunks and small pieces of a pale pink glitter in. The only criticism i have for this product is what i have with every Barry M nail paint is the brushes. i have quite big nail beds and like a fatter brush to apply the polish and its difficult to create an even finish with the glitter as they tend to all cluster together. over all i think this product is brilliant it doesn't chip and unlike most glitter polishes it is quite easy to remove. 

I think the nails look pretty and casual for a week a work. perhaps too summery for this time of year but i enjoy them!

Rebel by Mac review

REBEL by MAC review


I purchased this lipstick first time round about 2 years ago from Harrods in London. i was hoping to find a lipstick that was dark that didn't have a really dull burgundy colour with a brown undertone but with it but more so a darker  pinky/purple as i am a cooler skin tone ,suiting the more purple/blue based colours so, when i found this i was so happy. its such a perfect colour.

the colour could be described as a dark berry purple with a Little bit of a red tone with it. as it wears off it leaves a slightly lighter pink stain. Its definitely opaque and is very long lasting.

Rebel is a Satin finish which is a really moisturizing creamy texture but still leaving that heavy almost semi matte illusion. its a very bold lipstick with a beautiful long lasting finish and doesn't leave the lips feeling dry! I've tried this lipstick on with dark smokey eyes and with just winged eye liner so it very wearable. only thing i found was if my blusher was too bright it really was way too much so I normally use a tinted moisturizer and a little bronzer .

easy to wear

Long wearing

beautiful colour

Only problem is that it does transfer onto cups!

these photos i believe show the lipstick slightly lighter than it actually is as cameras do not pic up purple very well.
