How to do the perfect manicure + pedicure at home!

First off guys, this is quite a lengthy process, but if you want your nails to look flawlessly professional then read on my friends!

*If you have time soak hands and feet in the bath before cutting nails*

You will need;

Nail varnish remover:

make sure you purchase a high quality nail polish remover, like Taylor & Taylor or/ nail varnish pads. - Don't bother with wipes, from personal experience they don't work well.

Hand/body lotion:

I use after sun because i just came back off holiday a few weeks ago, and i still use after sun when my holiday is well and truly finito' to make my tan last longer.

Nail cutters and two nail files.

Yes, you heard me two nail files! One like this Ruby & Millie nail block, and the second will be the usual nail file.

Nail enamel corrector pen:

Touch up any nail polish mistakes.

I've had this product for years and it's so helpful.

By Avon nail experts range.

Nail hardener / base coat

this can make old/cheap nail varnish last longer, look top of the range and high in quality.

The nail polish of your choice

I'm using Vintage Blue by Avon.

*tip: if your in a hurry or/ always smudge your nails, dip painted nails into warm water for a minute or so, this should dry the nail polish smudge free*

Clear skin

Beauty tip number uno - Clean EVERYTHING!

My BEST friend is my Carex bacteria killing hand gel! I use it to clean EVERYTHING. Everything i touch. We touch our faces without even realising we're doing it! In order to keep/achieve that clear skin, keep that extra oil, dirt - bacteria AWAY from your skin.
I clean my laptop, mobile phone, camera, ipod and headphones! (I would even disinfect my cat if i could, in some nice -none animal harming way!)

So basically stay as clean -bacteria free (Y) as possible. Also drink plenty of water !
- Don't tell me you don't like water!
If you care enough about your skin then, i dunno force it. Starve yourself of liquids until you cant wait to drink that sucker!

OR you could just try Coconut water, it's just as good for you! I saw an interview with Victoria Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio, one of her beauty tips was drinking Coconut water! Give it a try..!

All my love.

Affordable makeup brush clenser that works and lasts longer!

Not that I'm against investing in professional makeup brush cleaners, but if your interested in saving money, with something that lasts much longer. Try disinfecting your makeup brushes using surgical spirits. Available in Boots pharmacies.

A friend of mine who works for Boots, told me that the makeup department use surgical spirits to disinfect the brushes they use after makeovers.

Hope this helps! Nadia xo
