Quick Dip Acrylics

2011-08-26T19:04:00.001+01:00

I recently bought an acrylic nail kit that you can do yourself at home. Its called 'Professional Quick Dip Acrylics' from the company Rio. I bought these for £19.99 at Argos. You can also get them on the website www.riobeauty.co.uk for the same price. This kit contains: 40 natural nail extensions. Resin, Acrylic Powder, Nail Glue, Spray-on Activator, 2-in-1 Varnish, 3 Stage Buffer Files, Grit File, Sansing Block, Hoof Stick, Spare Resin Brushes, Instructions and Step-by-Step DVD.

I thought Id try these out for myself as ive never had acrylic nails done at a salon and because I love doing my own nails. If you have used them before these should be fairly quick to use. It took me about an hour and a half to do one hand and the fact I was doing them myself made it take longer than I thought. Heres my finished nails after using the quick dip acrylics.

Heres a list of the things I dont like about these.

You can still see where the tips start.
They're not rounded at the tips for a natural look. They're flat and wider at the top. No matter how much I filed them they still looked that way.
When I cut them down to a shorter size the nail tip split in the middle.

You MUST MUST MUST use the right method to remove these. Acitone is the right way about it. As mine split when I shortend them silly me decided to rip them off and ruin my natural nails. Everyone has 3 layers of nail bed and I tore and shredded my top layer this caused my nails to look like crap and hurt like hell.

If you would like to try these out then go ahead but I dont think theyre for me.

Fancy A Cocktail?

2011-08-26T19:03:00.001+01:00

The hot summer days have kicked in and the heat is roaring across everyone and smacking them in the face. Well not so much where I live where you mainly have down pours of rain taking over and keeping you in the house. Well surprisingly we've had a bit of both. So a couple of weeks ago I went to the pub with a few pals and gotten myself a 'Purple Rain' Cocktail. Which I love! Tastes just like parma violets (candy). It consists of 2x25ml Sourz Cherry, 2x25ml blue Curaçao and lemonade. Which Inspired me. COCKTAIL MAKEUP! So I chose a different cocktail bit brighter colours to match the summer days. I chose 'sex on the beach' coctail. So here is my look.
