Trick or Treat?! How to Remove Glitter Polish

Everyone should be able to enjoy wearing glitter nail polish at this festive time of year without being afraid of the removal process. Today I am going to show you a quick, easy and efficient removal method, using household items that everybody should have to hand.

You will need:
Nail Polish Remover
Cotton Wool
Kitchen Foil

and that's all you'll need!

Fist we will need to tear off 10 equal squares of kitchen foil, they need to be large enough to wrap around your finger nail and accommodate the cotton wool.

Next you will need to saturate your cotton wool in nail polish remover, I am using Cutex Moisture Guard with nail whitening formula. This is the one I like, any will do, but I find this one quick and easy to work with. I am also using balls of cotton wool instead of the pads as I find these soak up the polish remover better.

Lay the cotton wool in the middle of the foil, place your nail over the cotton wool and wrap around your finger, ensuring a tight as possible seal to prevent the nail varnish seeping out.

When you have wrapped all 10 fingers, relax ....

and do the robot!

Leave for about 2 minutes, then carefully, without tearing or ripping the foil, rub the cotton wool over your nails, if it moves with ease it is ready to be removed, if not leave for a further minute and try again.

Hey Presto! Glitter free nails!

I hope this was helpful to some of you! enjoy your festive glitter nails!

#OrangeOctober Tropical Sun

#OrangeOctober Day 26

The end of our little orange journey is in sight! thank heavens! I am starting to crave dark vampy purples, rich blues, and Bordeaux reds.

But were not there yet! Today's polish is one I have been wanting to try for so long; this is Models Own Tropical Sun from the Spring/Summer Beetlejuice collection. A collection dedicated solely to duo chrome gorgeousness. Thanks to the recent Models Own 50% off sale I finally gave in and ordered it. I mean who can resist a sale right?

Here's the swatches (sorry they are all taken using the flash, its getting cold and dark here in the UK - snow is on its way)!

This is four coats, the application wasn't good, but not the worst. The formula could do with being a little thicker, but as you apply more coats the colour builds up nicely.

The duochrome-ness isn't in your face in this polish. Its a subtle change from a golden orange to softer orange leaning on the coral side.

In case the duo chrome wasn't enough for you, this beautiful polish also has stunning silver micro glitter particles that almost appear holographic when they catch the light. This isn't just apparent in the bottle, it translates to the nail too! (oh how I wish I could say this for more polishes) - this polish is the perfect summer manicure colour!

#OrangeOctober Fluro' Orange

#OrangeOctober Day 15

Happy Monday everyone!
Can you believe we're nearly half way through October already? its crazy!

Here's a neon polish from Models Own to brighten up this Monday morning :)

Fluro' Orange is 100% Neon and I mean NEON!! this is 3 coats with no top coat, notice that matte neon finish.

I love how it glows in the photos!

As you can see it was a dark and dingy day when I swatched this polish :( typical British weather but this polish stands out! I've had so many positive comments wearing this polish, I won't be afraid to go neon again.
