NEGATIVE SPACE NAIL ART WITH GLITTER & CRYSTALS
Negative Space Nail Art with Glitter & Crystals – I’ve had a nice little stash of nail vinyls for a while and I’ve been waiting for a chance to use them. My inspiration finally came in the form of the discontinued Essie nail polish colour “Starry Starry Night”. It was such a pretty colour and I realised that 2 of my existing Essie nail polish colours looked so beautifully similar that they would make a lovely combination with some negative space nail art.

Goodbye Divine By Design……. :'(
Follow my blog with Bloglovin I’ve avoided writing this blogpost for a few weeks as I was feeling rather emosh about the whole thing and didn’t feel quite ready to “put pen to paper”. The beautiful thing about blogging and vlogging is that as well as sharing skills, ideas and opinions with others, it can also be very cathartic. It’s one of the best things about being a lifestyle and beauty blogger. For those of you new to my blog and YouTube, for the past 4 and a half years, I’ve been a qualified nail technician and beauty therapist under the guise of Divine By Design. The business was doing…

Hit The Bottle Stamping Polish Review
Stamping has been a “nail thing” for absolutely YEARS but seems to have really become more mainstream in 2015.

Also whilst you can produce beautiful designs on your “good” hand, it’s far more difficult and time consuming on your “bad” hand. :/ Along with this mainstream and professional…

The “Ring Thing” Finger/Thumb Palette
I’ve had this lovely little package sent to me by Empower Nail Art UK, sat in my office waiting to be opened and appreciated. That time came last month when I was filming an Halloween Sugar Skull nail art tutorial and I’m not ashamed to say that I was more than a little excited! The item that I’m referring to is The Ring Thing thumb palette by Empower Nail Art. Now I’ve had a couple of thumb palettes before but this one really is different.
