Get your nails in shape at home | Erin

When I see people who have had their nails done, I'm instantly jealous. I've always wanted to go to a proper salon and splurge... but at 14 I don't have £20 floating about! So I decided to try my own way of doing it for cheap, at home and when I wanted to. So today I'm going to spread my wisdom and show you my easy, cheap way of getting nails that look salon standard !

Amazon and eBay are the best places to look for the things you need. You can get them for so cheap and for pretty good quality! ( all the ones I used will be linked below )

The things you will need:

- artificial nails in various different sizes

- curved nail clipper

- nail glue

Step 1 ~ start by cutting your artificial nails down to size. The ones I got we're very long, which wouldn't suit me for everyday. So I decided to purchase some curved nail clippers to fit them down to the size I wanted. This is perfect as you can choose what size your nails want to be - whether you want them to be full on claws or go for a natural nail look - it's your choice! 

Step 2 ~ now all you have to do is apply the nail glue to your real nail and press the artificial nail down, avoiding putting it on top of the cuticle. I normally hold down the nail for about 10 seconds- ensuring it is well stuck.

And now ... all you have to do is paint them! That easy! And that ladies and gents is how you get salon lookalike nails for under £7.50! ( which you get many uses out of ) 

Let me know if I helped by leaving a comment down below, thanks for reading!!

Simple Summer Skincare Routine!

Flawless Summer Skincare Routine

Recently, since its Summer I have been looking for a super easy and quick skincare routine that would take me less that ten minutes to do! I don't mind doing a long skincare routine but I felt that since it was Summer, I should find something that works just as good but a million times simpler!

This is a two step skincare routine, that works wonders and is still simple at the same time! I have never really tried any of Garniers skincare products before, but I really want to try more after loving these two products! Lets get into to the actual routine and how the products work:

Firstly, I begin by using the Garnier Micellar Water, I have always heard great things about the product but only really got it last month to try out as something quick an easy! Basically for this cleansing water all you need is a cotton pad, the product doesn't need to be removed after use! I use this at night to remove my eye and make-up, and I just feel it works so much better than wipes! I also use this in the morning just to cleanse my face! 

After cleansing using the Micellar Water, I like to grab the Garnier Rose Water moisturiser! I feel its super important for everyone to moisturise, especially for me as I have pretty dry skin! This is a super hydrating moisturiser. I basically just rub a small amount of this product all over my face at night and in the morning! It also helps my make-up glide on, as there is no dry skin on my face after using this!

For me, this is a perfect, cheap, and easy skincare routine for Summer! This is exactly what I was looking for an I am so glad I found it! Let me know what you think about this routine down below, or over at out instagram page @simplybeautyyxo

See you soon, Erin and Amy
