Nail Tips - Livening Up Polishes - Glitter Dots Y'all

The lovely Síle (whose Bday it is today, whoot!) one of the four brains behind the fab Emerald Eyeliner blog was showing us her picks for Sally Hansen Autumn Nails  but was fairly iffy about the above colour, Café Au Lait, for wearing on its lonesome. The above is my take on how to rock the colour and was tweeted with the quickness.

We know I have Magpieitis when it comes to glitters so I got to thinking... Using a simple hair clip as a dotting tool like I did with the cherry blossom nails any colour can be brought to life. 

Several colour combos

& on the nail

While I'm not advocating you wear every combination you have at once, merely showing you options, they're your nails and if that floats your boat get mixing and matching!

Nudes can be livened up and mattes given a lift while still being office appropriate or your more garish colours can be combined with more dots for night out nails. 


What do we reckon? Give it a shot? 

How to Remove Glitter Polish Simply: Glitter Begone with Cutex Moisture Guard!

I’ve said before I’m not a big PIB (Pain in the bum) fan when it comes to polishes and their problems. No more than any of you I’ll wager.

One big PIB issue that perplexes a lot of folks is glitter polishes, well not the polishes themselves but the arduous task of cleaning them off.

I happen to be somewhat of a magpie when it comes to all things glittery, especially polishes, as can be seen in the pic below. Don’t judge me!

Disclaimer: This *may* not be all my glitters

Viva Adonis’ NOTD this very day is a beautiful pink number so I know it’s not just me. Lynnie over on Beaut.ie posted great tips for Christmas glitter removal back in December but I’d like to add my tuppence – well my €3.29 worth.

Not a screed of glitter on 'office nails'

I have never found a remover as adept as Cutex Moisture Guard for removing all types of polish easily and with the quickness, for sparkly numbers especially. Couple of rubs and your nail is as baldy as the day you were born. The smell is not as overbearing as others I’ve tried and this formulation genuinely is moisturising. My nails seem stronger than with previous removers too.

Available in Boots, Superdrug, supermarkets and any other chemist worth it’s salt, this one comes highly recommended for saving time and allowing you to finally buy that ‘have your eye out’ bling polish you’ve been lusting after.

How’s about you lovelies? Any recs for removal?
