KISS DRESS TO IMPRESS GEL NAIL WRAPS

Hey guys, a quick post before I head off to bed. I recently received these Gel Nail Wraps* from Kiss. 

These are the first Gel Nail Wraps on the market I believe and you can use an LED lamp to cure them so they last for 2 weeks and to remove them you just have to peel them off! 

I received the French Manicure wraps which aren't really my thing but I gave them a try. These have a funny texture, like a gel/rubber texture but they're still perfectly smooth. The sizes of these wraps are actually really great because I normally have trouble with wraps being the right size for my nails. They did crease a bit too much on my middle finger but otherwise they weren't that bad. 

For 2 weeks wear you need the top coat and the LED lamp, I didn't get these so can't review them. 

Overall these are a very good idea and perfect for those people who want a lovely gel manicure without having to pay too much at the salon but they can be a bit fiddly.

ILNP SIRENE & LACE NAIL ART

Hey guys, how are you all doing? 

So I absolutely love lace nail art, I think it just looks so so beautiful on the nails. Unfortunately I don't own any lace stamping nails or decals so I have to be old fashioned and paint them on! I got this design from instagram I think or actually I'm not sure my memory is so bad!

I started off with one coat of ILNP Sirene over a black base and then I used a silver gel pen which you can get from anywhere, I think I got mine from Asda. I waited about 5 minutes so I didn't smudge it and then applied topcoat . 

Please excuse the tip wear, I added the lace on the 2nd day of wear, and my skin is a funky colour here too but please try to ignore that and look at the pretty nails :) 

Ok, so does anyone want to see a tutorial for the lace ? I have a few more lace designs I want to try out and I shall share those when I get round to them!

GEL PEN PAISLEY NAIL ART

Hope you all had a lovely Saturday! A little while ago I went in to Asda and saw a big pack of 18 gel pens for £1 so I bought them and decided to try some nail art with them like I'd seen Alice do. I wasn't sure if it would work but it did! 

So for this I started off with two coats of Essence Absolutely Blue and then used the glittery purple and blue gel pen to draw on the rest of the details, I had to wait about 3 minutes just to let it dry a little bit and then used a thick layer of topcoat, trying not to smudge the design. 

I'm not crazy about how it looks but I don't dislike it.

Ok, have you tried gel pens for nail art?
