My Nail Art Collection

I have always been the horrible nail biter (I know, yucky habit). I have tried to get out of it; mum used to shout at me, slap me, I even tried the foul-tasting anti-nail biting polish that you put on the nail, but nothing ever worked. The only thing that stopped me from biting my nails were to paint them! And yes, I will still bite them if they are not painted, that's why you will never see my nails naked!

I love having cute nail designs on my nails! I have been doing them ever since I got hooked on the nail tutorial videos on YouTube. The people who do nail designs on there have inspired me so much, it made me want to have cute little designs on my nails 24/7. These are just a few that I have pictures of, hope it inspires you too =)

My cute Easter chick nails! Can't wait to do them again next Easter ^.^

   

I love floral nail art! They are awesome!

 

 I like to call this one "SAY HI TO THE BEAR". One of the cutest nail art designs I have ever done on my nails <3

Not my favourite but nice and colourful. I searched for 'easy nails' on YouTube and saw this one so I gave it a try. Nice and easy.

I was going to purchase the Nails Inc Bling it on Romance nail art kit, but then I found a really good duplicate of the bows on Amazon.co.uk for a fraction of the price! So I went to hunt for a similar nail colour and found a L'Oreal pinkish grey sort of shade (forgot the shade number sorry). It turned out almost exact to the actual kit. Sorry Nails Inc!

I love my tuxedo-moustache nails! I should do this again sometime, they looked pretty cool.

I got the idea of clouds and hearts on a Japanese washi tape. And then I found out nail art YouTubers' already had that idea.

 

Panda nails! Haven't done these for a long time, should try it again soon.

  

Yummy cupcake nails. Not feeling the cupcakes recently, but it was fun doing them.

Oh and just for the record, I do all of these myself on both hands, practice makes (nearly) perfect.

Enjoy,

Think about Piggy first!

There are times when I want to try out a new product, but I have doubts; I ask myself, is it going to be any good? Am I wasting money? Should I just go back to what I usually have? Because it is always more assuring when I'm buying and using something that I know works.

So the main ways to help me decide are:

• Google, I like to Google reviews for the products. I don't take what they say for granted because at the end of the day everyone has different skin types, preferences and believe it or not there are fake reviews out there, where people have been paid to say things about the product when they actually haven't even tested out the product. So what I do is I pick and choose a few 5* reviews, a few 3* reviews and then ones that don't like the product at all; at the same time being aware whether the reviewer has same skin type as me and so on. In this way I can see a variety of views and it will help me decide whether trying a new product is really worth the money.
• Friends recommendations, I LOVE sharing beauty finds with friends, they will talk about products that I would have never thought of trying! Having a conversation about beauty products and makeup can allow yourself to open up to new things.
• Offers, they are great: introductory offers, buy 1 and get 2nd for half price and the best of all 3for2! 3for2 offers are most tempting and there's no harm in buying a new product to test out when you were thinking of buying 2 other products in the first place. The danger is buying 2 other products that you don't need just to try a new one. In this case, as tempting as it may be I will just buy the one I want to try out.
• Budget. Do I have the budget to try out the new product? Sometimes this is the easiest question and I will get the quickest answer.  It's important to remember that makeup is not everything, I would hate to have lots of makeup and not being able to pay for food or bills. So learning to budget is always a thumbs up! I have learned my lesson. Now I'm going let piggy heal. I promised I wouldn't break him again.

Thanks for your time,
