cath kidston nails

I created these Cath Kidston inspired nails using my new white Models Own/WAH nail art pen which I picked up for £6 at Boots. Recently, the two companies have collaborated once more and released three new shades of their infamous tool in pink, yellow and blue.

I'm not sure how I lived without the white nail art pen, I cant wait to try out some more designs! Do you have any of the Models Own/WAH pens? What's your favorite type of nail art and are there any tutorials you'd like to see?

heart tip nails

1. File nail into point (a rounded point is more practical I found) and paint a nude shade. I used Topshop's 'Nice'n'Neutral'.

2. Take a red shade and place the end of the brush around a third of the way down your nail, sweeping upwards. This creates the rough shape of half a heart.

3. Repeat on opposite side.

4. Tidy up the design by using the end of the brush very carefully.

DIY nose and scar wax

Nose and scar wax is a product used in special effects make up to create bullet holes, wounds, broken noses, etc. I really fancied unleashing my gory side but am awaiting the arrival of my professional product so I did a little research and made my own wax! Now, it's not as reliable or easy to work with as a proper wax, therefore I would not recommend using this for a wound that needs to stay on for a long period of time, but it does the job for messing about at home. It's super easy and if you feel like playing around with wounds and blood one afternoon here's how it's done...

You will need:

❤ Hair wax (hard)

❤ Liquid foundation (light shade or your own skin shade recommended) 

❤ Lolly stick

How it's done:

1. Take a pot of hair wax, the harder the better and scoop out half into another container that is microwave friendly.

2. Place your container and wax in the microwave for 45 seconds, take out and stir with a lolly stick to ensure wax is melted but not a runny consistency.

3. Add your liquid foundation to the melted wax and stir until an even colour.

4. Pop in the freezer for 15 mins - 30 mins to harden the wax again.

5. Enjoy!

pink puff nail varnish holder

PINK PUFF NAIL VARNISH HOLDER - £4.99 @ PINKPUFF.CO.UK

I was lucky enough to receive a new, unique and very nifty little product from the creator of Pink Puff; a nail varnish holder for those tricky moments when you need to find a place to balance your bottle. The product is designed to hug your polish to prevent any spillage or the bottle falling over, it also moulds into any shape and will rest upright on any surface! This is perfect for those tricky times on the go when you need to paint your nails last minute, be it on the way to work or even a night out, the holder is small enough to fit in your handbag meaning you can whip it out, place it on your lap and even rest your fingers  on the holder whilst painting nails. The product will adapt to hug any shape or size bottle, (as you can see in the photos above) I used mine whilst painting my nails in bed (hence the not so professional photos of the product in action!), resting the holder on my knee and it was great not to worry about where I'd put my bottle or moving too quick in case I spilt polish everywhere and ruined my lovely new bedding! It's also really handy to have nearby for nail art lovers, when using multiple polishes it's easy to knock one over but with this tool that's not a problem, perfect!

This product is simple yet helpful, a very clever idea! I'd recommend it to anyone as a must have, handy tool for your make up bag - order yours for £4.99 here :)!

dramatic make up for stage

I'm currently taking a part time stage make up course, it's so much fun and really inspiring, I'm constantly designing face charts in my spare time and searching for make up look ideas. Here's a look I created inspired by black and white photography with the aim of achieving dramatic, clean cut make up for stage. If anyone has any face chart/look requests please feel free to get in touch :).
