HD Brows - tried and tested

Hi guys

As all my posts have been nail art recently I thought it was time I mixed it up a bit and told you about one of my latest beauty experiences - the world of HD Brows!

I have had this treatment done 3 times now and boy oh boy am I pleased that I discovered these.

If you are not aware of this eyebrow treatment, it is a new phase that all the celebs are going for which includes 7 steps to get the perfect eyebrows!

Click here to watch the YouTube video explaining the 7 steps to HD Brows

The 7 steps to HD Brows are as follows:-

• Shape / Design
• Tinting
• Waxing
• Trimming
• Threading
• Tweezing
• Finish & application of HD pallette

It is advisable that you leave your eyebrows alone for at least 2 weeks prior to having the treatment in order to benefit as much as possible from the HD Brow process.  That means no plucking, no waxing, no nothing! I would say if you can leave it closer to a month, you are going to see the shape and style appear even stronger.

I had mine done the first time having left them for 2 weeks to grow out and although a different shape was definiately there, when I returned a few months later having only really plucked the low strays and left the main body alone, that time the treatment was A LOT more successful and very obvious, there were great!

All in all I would definitely recommend this treatment to anyone, even if only as a one off to re-style your eyebrows into a shape that suits the shape of your face or to help you grow out over plucked brows.  They use a product called Grow Baby Grow to help speed up growth in over plucked areas - awesome!

Let me know if you have tried HD Brows or are thinking of doing so?

Water Marbling Nail Art - practice makes perfect!

Nail Art Water Marbling

Hey girlies

 

On Saturday I spent half the afternoon water marbling my nails and I must say I am pleased that I did. Well, to be fair I spent longer on the clean up than I did on the marbling as I chose to do a couple of nails at a time without using tape or vaseline! As she said in Pretty Woman "big mistake, huge!" I shall never be lazy and not tape up my nails first again.

 

The only problem I had was getting water bubble marks on them which you can see in the photos, other than that it worked a dream. I used all Barry M nail polishes and I boiled some water and allowed it to cool to room temperature to make up for not using filtered water.

 

I would love to know what you think, I must say I am very pleased with them myself :-)

31 Day Challenge - Day 6 Violet Nails

Hey guys

Here is my entry for day 6 of the 31 day challenge for which the topic was violet nails.

I started off with a light pink to dark purple gradient and then used W7 Black to stamp Bundle Monster plate BM-320 over the top.

As my nails are quite small the effect of the stamp was kinda lost which is a shame but I was very very happy with the effect of the gradient underneath.

I hope you love them and thanks for reading.
