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!!

Everyday Flawless Makeup Routine

For my everyday make-up I like to go for a dewy, natural look. All products that I used will be listed below as always! I firstly begin with a clean face, I have a skincare routine coming up soon, so make sure to keep an eye out for that.

♥

I then prime my face using the Rimmel Lasting Finish Primer, to ensure a smooth application. I love this primer as it makes my make-up stay fresh all day. This primer is especially good for dry skin!

On an everyday basis I tend to wear this foundation by Rimmel London again, this is the Match Perfection one is in the shade Light Porcelain. I always mix this with my simple kind to skin illuminating radiance cream, I do this as it gives a dewy look with a slight glow.








For concealer, I swear by my Collection Lasting perfection in the lightest shade. I apply this under my eyes and on any blemishes I may have. This has a really good coverage, I sometimes only wear this instead of foundation on days when I am running late! This concealer is only £4 which is a steal, personally I would say this is just as good, if not better as many high end concealers out at the moment!







For powder I go for the Rimmel London Stay Matte in the shade 001 transparent, I love this as its so cheap and keeps my makeup in place all day, and ensures I am shine free! I only apply this to my T-Zone and areas where I have applied concealer. I like to keep this product in my hand bag or purse, so that if I can apply it if it needs touching up when im out. Comment down below if you would like to see a whats in my bag post!

To the apples of my cheeks, I lightly apply this gorgeous Max Factor blush in 05 lovely pink. This brightens up my face and adds a nice bit of natural colour to my cheeks! Another of my favourite blushes is the one in my Naked Flushed pallette!

For mascara I swear by the maybelline lash sensational mascara. This makes my eyelashes look lush - so full of volume and length!I love how it stays in place all day, and manages to hold a colour unlike some mascaras I have tried in the past! For me, maybelline do amazing mascaras! Mascara is a must whatever day of the week, as it opens my eyes up and makes me feel 100 times better!

Brows frame the face so I always fill them in with this brow kit 'brow this way' by Rimmel again! This is a powder products and is a perfect colour for my eyebrows - its in the shade 003 Dark Brown. With this product, I also tend to use it under my eyes to create the illusion of bigger eyes. Most of the time, I also love to smudge-line above my eyes, this makes my lashes appear thicker and longer. Some days I like to wear a winged eyeliner look, my fave eyeliner has to be the supercat by soap and glory!

And this is the finished look, thank you for reading x

See you next week, lots of love,

 Amy and Erin
