How To: Removing Glitter Polish Easily

Hey all, 

A question that I receive often is "how on earth do you get glitter polish off easily". Everyone knows what I am talking about! Glitter polish seems to stick to your nails as if by magic; and after using two bottles of remover and a farms worth of cotton pads, it still glares up at you in defiance. 

Being a serial glitter polish wearer, this is something that I have had to deal with many, many times. And this is the easiest method of removal that I have tried so far. The good ol' aluminium foil wrap! 

What You Will Need 
- Nail polish remover, preferably with a high acetone content. 
- Scissors.
- Cotton pads/balls.
- Aluminium foil.



How To 

1. Cut foil into correct size (10 pieces). 


2. Soak cotton ball or pad in remover.

3. Place on nail. 


4. Wrap firmly with aluminium foil. 



5. Press down on cotton ball/pad, repeat for each nail.


6. Wait 5 mins. 

What to do when waiting? I'm a fan of taking one or two ridiculous self-portraits. 


After you have acted like a crazy person for a sufficient amount of time, we move onto the final step! 

7. Remove and wipe excess, it should all come off very easily! 

And then repeat it all on the other hand! I am too clumsy to wrap both hands up at the same time, if you can - go for it! 

Hope this helped and that you enjoyed reading! xx

A Transformation is Complete


Hey all, 

The new blog is unveiled! 
Before I get into anything, I have to thank the wonderful Casey from Hot Bliggity Blog for her amazing work. She worked with me patiently, even though I’m technologically inept, and produced this design - a design so wonderful, and so like me - it’s as if she had insight  into my brain. If you’re looking for a transformation of your own, definitely check out her work at Hot Bliggity Blog and contact her for information!
You have probably noticed that there are quite a few little changes here and there. Although this blog will still be primarily about make up, beauty and fashion, I have also decided to expand to writing about other things that I love; so expect some design and decor post’s, recipes, and any other living related topics I can dream of! I am also going to start posting tutorials in the how-to section, which should be exciting! 
I have also added a followers section so you can keep up-to-date with post’s and other little snippets.  
Explore a little and let me know what you think! 
Thank you all for putting up with me through these changes! It has been an exciting week and I hope that you all love the new design and features as much as I do!
Hope that you all have a wonderful night! xx

Exciting News!

Hello my pretties! 

I have some exciting news for you all! After having writer's block and inspirational issues for a little while now, I have decided that my blog needs a makeover! I need a creative space that represents me more genuinely, and one that is more full of life! 

This means that I will be away temporarily making major, and wonderfully exciting improvements! I will return with exciting segments, features and plenty more reviews! I'm going to throw a bit more of what I love into the mix; fashion, books, dining etc. Keep your eyes peeled! 

 I have already decided that 2012 is going to be a splendid year and I am going to do everything in my power to make it so, both in my blogging and personal life! 

Take care of yourselves & please bear with me! 

Hope you have a wonderful day! xx
