VDAY NAILS

~ VALENTINE'S DAY ~

(Last Minute!)

Nail Art Inspo!

Just one more sleep away before we all wake up to celebrate the day of love!

If you're stuck into your pampering tonight and need some nail inspo, then here is

my little input for you. However, if you're after some seriously creative attention grabbing

pointers, then I highly recommend checking out Pinterest, trush me the inspo there is

definitely not lacking! Just make sure you don't get too distracted gawking and forget to

actually paint your own! (Speaking from experience here!)

Fing'rs Heart 2 Art Embellish Me Nail Art Kit

Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquer in 'Keep Up The Flame'

Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquer in 'Glitter It'

I painted each of my nails in the classic romantic red from Maybelline in

'Keep Up The Flame' and applied a few coats of 'Glitter It' over the top on my

signature nail for added glamour and romance.

The finish off this V'Day nail art, I applied 5 of the silver embellishments onto my

signature nail over the top of 'Glitter It' whilst it was still wet so as the polish dried it

made the little stones stick! I then used the end of an old liquid liner wand/brush (washed

of any black liner remains of course!) to dip into 'Glitter It' for just a tiny drop to make these

cute little red hearts stick to each of my remaining nails. :)

I love having my nails painted. They don't have to be fancy or professionally done.

Just having some colour on them makes me happy and lifts my mood.

What are you up to tonight? Are you doing any V'Day beauty prep?

FUSE GELNAMEL

~ FUSE GELNAMEL ~

Sensationail Starter Kit

Review!

When it comes to DIY manis and pedis at home, I am always stuck for the time it takes for my

polish to dry. Most polishes, no matter how pretty, just take way too long to dry and always end 

up getting completely ruined even before I get the chance to leave the house and enjoy them for

just one day!

I have heard so much hype around Gel manis this year and how amazing and long last they are,

that I knew, I just knew I had to try it out because it seems to be the perfect solution to all of my

nail nightmares! Taking only 30 short seconds to completely dry? How could I not love this?!

This Fuse kit seems like a great place to start. It comes with everything I could possibly need

to begin painting...

Fuse Gelnamel Polish in 'Na-No Way!'

Fuse Cleanser

 LED Lamp

Lint Free Wipes

Double Sided Nail Buffer

Manicure Stick

Easy To Follow Instruction Booklet

RRP: $49.99

What I find mind blowing about this whole kit, is the fact that no base nor top coat is needed!
The Gelnamel is an all in one formula that requires just one coat which in turn gives you a
perfectly polished, shiny, strong as 'nails' pop of colour finish! I can't believe how easy and
effective the whole kit is! Definitely worth what seems to be quite a hefty price tag for you
DIY mani/pedi. However think of it like this - It's salon quality at home. It's longer lasting!
The kit contains more than just your regular run of the mill nail polish as this contains your
base & top coat plus polish colour all in one! And most importantly to me, the dry time saves
you a bad mood for the rest of the day because you haven't ruined all your hard work waiting
around for it to dry! Nobody has time for that! Especially not me!

Apart from the fact that I can't paint my nails neatly to save myself, that aside,
you can't deny the vibrant colour and incredible shine this polish portrays.
I already know this polish is going to last because I've already tried to pick and
scratch at it, just to see if it passes the 'CandyFairy Blogs Test!'
So far so good!

Other incredibly gorgeous Fuse Gelnamel nail shades include -
E-Motion (Purple), Such A Laser (Gold Shimmer), Lightening Jolt (Magenta + Glitter),
Gone Fission ( Baby Pink + Glitter).

RRP: $14.99each

GLITTER NAILS

~ Nails Of The Day! ~

Turquoise & Silver

(Pinterest Inspired)

It's the easiest thing to completely loose all sense of time whilst browsing

on Pinterest! There is so much to see and be inspired by.

If you're ever stuck for blog post ideas, beauty, fashion and decor

updates, this is the place to go! I have often reluctantly dragged myself

away often feeling overwhelmed with new ideas that I often don't know

where to begin! Every time though, without a doubt, I am completely

motivated! I can't get enough of it!

(Cheeky sneak peek at a new decor item purchased over the weekend... who wants to see more? 

I might do a haul/updated living room post?)

Recently I have been seeing a lot of beautiful fashion and makeup looks

featuring loads of glitter. It must be a big trend at the moment because it is

everywhere! Suits me fine, I have always been glitter obsessed. 

There is no denying it's pure beauty.

To create this nail bling is actually much easier than you might think.

The only actual nail polish I used was a clear top coat!

The rest is just loose glitter purchased from a craft shop.

The clear polish acts like glue, sticking the loose glitter to you nail.

Finish with the clear polish over the top to secure the glitter helping it

stay in place and last longer as you would do with any other regular mani.

Done!

It's as simple as that!

I saw a really beautiful hair style using glitter too which I am keep

to recreate. Let me know if you'd like to see that!? :)

Featuring

Sally Hansen & Face Of Australia

Sally Hansen Gem Crush in Razzle Dazzler (Right)

Face Of Australia in Polyester Girl (Left)

This is such a beautiful blend of medium and fine glitter.

The finer glitter making up the gorgeous soft pink shade,

and slightly larger silver specks mixed generously throughout for extra dazzle!

I can't go past a hot pink nail polish, I don't care what time of

the year it is. The formula of this is runnier than most, but it

still goes on opaque with just one coat.

Do you like to get creative with nail art?

Love Candy!

~ Winter Nails Of The Day! ~

(Chevron Inspired!)

Well.... It sort of worked!)

I love sporting adventurous looking nails.

I also love interesting textures and patterns and all of the 

amazing amd creative art that can be created on such a small canvas.

Today I was inspired by the cold, rainy, winter day and since it has been

a while since I last posted a NOTD post, I thought,

why not cease this rare, creative moment!

I am definitely and obviously no expert when it comes to nail art!

This is my first try at the popular Chevron pattern that is so in style right now!

Not only on nail art. I have also noticed it predominantly dominaing home decor

and I am totally falling in love with it! 

Omg, my style is modernising! 

TOOLS!

STEP #1

Remove any old nail polish with soft cotton balls and nail polish remover.

Prep your nails and paint with the shade of your choice.

STEP #2

Once dry, cut thin strips of matte sticky tape. 

(Matte seems to be less sticky and less likely

the peel off your nail colour)

Arrange them in a zig zag pattern across each nail.

STEP #3

Apply a clear top coat to your nails.

Start one nail at a time as the clear polish will dry quickly

and you will need it wet for the loose glitter to stick.

STEP #4

Place your finger face nail side down into your glitter pot.

This is a less messy method than sprinkling the glitter and having

it go everywhere. Your nail will come out looking completely covered

in glitter. Don't panic! :)

STEP #5

Repeat step #4 with the rest of your nails

and let dry for a minute or two.

STEP #6

Once dry you can use either some cotton tips or a fluffy brush to

dust away any excess glitter from around your nails.

Then carefully begin to peel off all of the matte

tape from each nail.

STEP #7

Secure any fall out of glitter and to prolong

your efforts, finish with a clear top coat.

Wala!  

All done! :)

Mine is far from perfect, so don't stress if it doesn't turn

out super neat. You're the only one who'll see it up close enough to 

see all the tiny little flaws. 

It looks much better from a distance anyway!

NOTD - AUTUMN NAILS!

I'm beginning to come to the realization that I am addicted to nail polish. 

So if you've been following my blog, you might have noticed

I've begun to post a NOTD once a week.

This is a lot of fun and a bit of a challenge for me as it makes

me think of something interesting to do with my nails and 

it gives me an excuse to actually paint them.

Like I need an excuse! ;)

Here is what I've been loving this season for Autumn!
These shades scream Autumn to me as they represent the colour
of the changing leaves. They remind me of nature and make me feel
kind of like a nature faerie. If you haven't realized it yet I am kind of
obsessed with all things mystical and fae. Hence my username. :)

NOTD Featuring:
-
Sally Hansen Magnetic in Kinetic Copper
I didn't bother using the magnetic effect as I feel
this polish shade is beautiful enough as it is!

OPI in Just Spotted The Lizard
Used on the tips of my nails

OPI The Living Daylights
Used on my ring finger feature nail

What polish shades or trends are you loving this season?

Thank you for your continued support!
Hope to see you here again tomorrow.

Featuring...

OPI Liquid Sands in Pussy Galore

Sally Hansen in Big Money

This is my first experience using a liquid sand style of polish and at

first I wasn't sure if I liked it as I love a shiny, glossy finish,

but now I've gotten used to it and absolutely love the

texture and it also photographs beautifully! 

The pink shade is also just divine!

I was tempted to paint all of my nails with this

Sally Hansen glitter polish, but restrained myself

and decided to just do one feature nail

and then do the tips of the rest.

Totally loving the final result! :)

OPI

I recently picked this up at the bargain price of just 6 bucks from 

The Reject Shop! Offer ends April 20, so be quick! :)

Looks as though they aren't offering a wide range of shades, but I still think it's worth checking out,
especially if you're an OPI lover and collector as I am. :)
