JAMBERRY

Mirror Nail Wraps

Review!

https://www.jamberrynails.com.au

Racing season is well and truly upon us and on November 2nd marks the famous annual and much

anticipated Melbourne Cup day in Australia! Even though I won't be attending the event as I live in

Brisbane, you'll be sure I'll be watching the race and getting dressed up where ever I end up and

having a good time!

Metallics are huge this season and weather it's with your clothing, accessories, makeup or nails, you

can bet you'll be seeing a lot of shiny golds, silver, bronze and rose gold come race day!

I tried out these Jamberry Metallic Mirror Nail adhesives recently and the amount of compliments I

received was crazy! If you want to make a statement, then these are a great place to begin!

I have heard mixed reviews when it comes to these kind of stick on nails, and for me they lasted

more than two weeks before I decided to remove them and change up my nails to something else.

There are some tips and tricks to applying these to getting the most out of them to last and to look

smooth and professional. Below I will share a few with you!

How To!

- You want to make these stick and stay stuck, so make sure your nail is completely clean, free from

any polish and wiped over with either a Jamberry prep wipe or you can also just use any rubbing

alcohol which will ensure there is no natural oils on the nails which can make the adhesive not want

to stick well.

- Next you want to prep your nail sticker. Rather than just sticking them straight onto the nail. Peel

the first adhesive off the plastic sheet you want to use, grab your hair dryer and get some warmth

onto it. This softens the sticker making it more pliable and will apply smoother and stick better to

your nail. Use a cuticle pusher to smooth over and stick down the design and set again onto the nail

with your hair dryer again.

- Trim off the excess adhesive on the end of your nail with some small nail scissors, then file until

smooth and even. No need to finished with a top coat. Nails will look all shiny and new! Slay!

Jamberry Nails come in a wide variety of colours and designs (More than 300! So you're sure to find

something you like!) and also include nail lacquer, gel enamel system, bottles of mixed metal

embellishments and next on my list are some absolute cute as ever Mum & Me designs!

Will you be attending this years Melbourne Cup?

What colour/design are your nails right now?

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!)

Featuring -

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?

DECEMBER FAVOURITES

~ DECEMBER FAVOURITES ~

2014!

Nails!

Fuse gelnamel in 'Gone Fission'

This is one of the prettiest pink glitter polishes I've tried. Tie that in with the fact that it has a

gel finish and you have yourself a double whammy! I love that the glitter appears to be rainbow

coloured too so it looks extra sparkly!

Fing'rs Heart 2 Heart Glitter Nail Art

Anyone who is glitter obsessed and who likes to dabble in nail art will love these cute little

tubes! They make such a pretty statement nail which is what I love using these for in particular.

Stay tuned for some nail arty posts coming soon using these!

Face/Body!

Lush 'So White' Shower Gel

Ok, so this looks, smells and feels gorgeous! It has a subtle shimmer throughout it and contains

apple infusion, rose water, bergamot and neroil oils which combined make a luxurious mix!

I love to use this both in the shower or bath!

Sukin Facial Moisturiser

This is a moisturiser you can count on to use any time of the year, day and night!

It just always feels good, no matter what mood my skin is in! I also like to use this every now

and again on my knees which can sometimes get quite dry and it softens them up beautifully!

Sanctuary Spa Lipid Recovery Facial Oil

I am obsessed with facial and body oils at the moment and bonus points if it has a dropper!

Makes it all that more fancy and I love using the product in this manner. I like to use this both

morning and night before applying my Sukin Facial Moisturiser as it makes my tired skin appear

less puffy in the morning and relaxes it at night.

Makeup!

MAC Objects Of Affection Nude + Red Lip Gloss Set

Luck was clearly on my side when I was fortunate enough to win this divine foursome

from the super generous and gorgeous Hailey from 'The Beauty In Life'. If you don't already follow and read her blog, you are seriously missing out!! She has a raw, honest and funny as heck way

of writing which I can't get enough of! Her posts always make me smile, laugh and

nod in agreement, as I can relate to her in many ways. #bloglove

Maybelline Color Whisper in 'Oh La Lilac'

After receiving this in my Girlfriend edition of 'The Parcel' I have been using this non stop!

It just gives a slight, almost Barbie like tint of colour to my lips which I love, without looking

too plastic. It's like a nude pink is that makes any kind of sense?! Gah, I just adore it!!

Maybelline Color Tattoo in 'Barely Branded'

I picked this up not that long ago when Coles had Maybelline at half price because I was

sick of hearing how amazing this shade was everywhere I turned and wanted to see for myself!

Turns out everyone had good reason to go on and on about it because it is the bomb dot com

people! Well and truly! It is the perfect eyebrow and cheek highlighter and even works incredibly

well as an eyeshadow base and inner corner eye brightener. Go get it!!!

Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner in 'Blackest Black'

Also picked up this for half price and now I've been using it I would happily pay the full

price because it is awesome! Believe it or not, this is my first experience with a gel liner.

Yep, I was a gel liner virgin until recently having been so comfortable in my relationship with

good old trusty liquid, I needed to step out of my comfort zone and see what all the fuss was about.

So fun to work with and hasn't shown signs of drying out, so hopefully this will last until I use

it all up!

Maybelline Dream Wonder Fluid-Touch Foundation in '#20 Classic Ivory'

Yep, another Maybelline product! Whoops, I honestly really just love their products!

They just seem to never fail me. This one was recently sent to me to review from Beautyheaven

and despite hearing a lot of dislike around it, I can't see what the big problem with it is.

Works like a dream for me on my skin. Makes everything look smooth, matte and flawless.

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Foundation in '#102 Light Nude'

Before trialling the Dream Wonder, I was using this baby a lot and it's pretty great!

It doesn't give flawless coverage, however it does a good job to use for an everyday foundation.

The colour match is perfect for my skin and it lasts from early in the morning till late at night

without the need to touch up. Has a dewy finish and a nice pump which makes it super easy to

use as I am constantly applying my makeup in the car whenever we go out somewhere as it is

my way of multi-tasking. So with the kids strapped in the back seat, I am free for a while

to put my 'face' on in peace! ;)

Maybelline Expertwear Eyeshadow Quad in 'Natural Smokes'

This is perfect for the everyday eye and so handy because all the shades I need are all in one place!

They are also great if you want to make your look more intense as they are easy to build the

shades up to make them appear more bold and smokey! I have especially been enjoying a new

to me technique of applying the bottom shadow to line around my eyes. It makes your eyes

appear more defined, yet still totally appropriate for your simple, everyday look.

Do we have any of the same favs?

Let me know yours below! :)

I love this new nail trend I've been spying lately!

It is so unexpected and unique.

I am loving this candy apple red shade and how it shines like a boiled hard lolly!

The subtle gold shimmer just adds a bit of glamour and fun! :)

Are you into nail art?

Which trend should I try next?

Love Candy!

~ Nails Of The Day ~

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.
