SILVER TIP NUDE FRENCH NAIL ART *NAIL TREND ALERT*
Silver Tip Nude French Nail Art– It’s week 3 in the Nail Trends series and this week I’m bringing you this gorgeous silver tip nude french nail art. I fell in love with this design as soon as I saw it on the catwalk. The original design is by Gina Edwards for Morgan Taylor in the Jonathan Simkhai AW16 show. These are so elegant and subtle that they would even look perfect for the professional that can’t normally get away with nail art at work. If you want to see Nail Trends Week 1 – Pastel Tip French, then it’s available here and Week 2 – Pearl & Glitter Ombré is available here.

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. It’s almost been the underdog of nail art and I myself have experienced nail snobbery towards those who stamp and those who hand-paint nail art. For a number of years I chose to hand paint in my role as a professional nail tech, but the fact is that there are some designs that it is nigh-on impossible to produce by hand painting. 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.

SOLO One-Step Home Gel Manicure Kit Review & Tutorial
Solo Home Gel Manicure Kit Whilst I adore all things beauty and lifestyle related, nails will almost hold a special place in my heart! As a qualified Nail Professional and salon owner, I’ve always been rather concerned about home gel manicure kits. I’ve seen from many popular “supermarket” home gel manicure kits, the damage that has resulted from untrained and rough application and removal of the gel, so I was a little skeptical when I received the SOLO One-Step Gel home manicure kit for review. However, I needn’t have been. Other than a couple of the tools that could do with a little refining, this is a great little kit.…

BBF Stamping Plate Review – Disney, Simpsons, Halloween, Christmas
A few weeks ago I spotted a lovely manicure on instagram and I wish I can remember who had created it. It was produced using a Disney Stamping Plate from BBF so I immediately went mooching to find out more. Until then I hadn’t heard of BBF but I quickly found the website and immediately fell in love with the plates. In fact I had to reign in my spending and chose my 10 most favourite plates that I thought would be great for nail art tutorials and that my clients would want in my salon. When they arrived promptly I thought it was a perfect opportunity to give you…

Magpie Neon Nail Pigments
Whilst relatively new to the nail scene, Magpie seem to be really on the ball right now, bringing out exactly what nail fans are after. Their latest product range which went live last night, are the Magpie Neon Nail Pigments, and they really are something to behold! I was lucky enough to get my hands on them before release which gave me a chance to really play with them and find out what I thought. I’ve included my review, directions on application and a comparison with the Lecenté neon powders in both my blog and video below.
