Nail Look of the Week: Spun For You

In spirits of Halloween, this nail look of the week was uber quick and easy (with no drying time!). Using Sally Hansen's Salon Effect real polish strips in "Spun for You," these spider cobwebs are perfect for the Halloween weekend! 

They come with 16 easy to use polish strips that fit all nail sizes. It's like putting on a nail sticker more or less. You select the best size that fits your nail, follow the instructions included in the kit and voila! They are a one time use kind of thing and goes for about $10 per kit. It's said to last up to 10 days and I can't say the box is lying. To protect it even more, I apply a coat of clear top coat to seal everything in. I'm now on day 2 of this look and everything is still in tack. 

These fun polish strips come in so many fun designs and colours but I do usually prefer just plain old nail polish. Although if you want a funky design for such occasions, I highly recommend them =) 

Give it a try and let me know how yours turns out!

Nail Look of the Week - Jaded Pink Lingerie

This isn't exactly the nail look I have on right now but I currently have on the same pink from this nail look. As it is October, that means it's Breast Cancer Awareness month. My nails are currently just a solid pink in this Revlon's 'Pink Lingerie' (#110 from their Top Speed line). 

Polishes and Materials Used:
Revlon ColorStay #005 Base Coat (my fave!)
Revlon #110 'Pink Lingerie' (Top Speed line)
Revlon #320 'Jaded' (Top Speed line)

Clear masking tape
Seche Vite Top Coat (BEST TOP COAT EVER!) 

Step 1:

You'll also want to start off with your favorite base coat - mines is currently Revlon's ColorStay base coat. The base coat will give your nail a smoother surface for the polish to go on. It is especially important if you are wearing a darker colour like red or black so it doesn't stain your nails.

Step 2:

Choice a colour for your designs. In my case, I chose to use Revlon #110 'Pink Lingerie' from their Top Speed line. You want to paint a thin coat of this colour on the masking tape. Let it dry and apply another coat. Repeat until the desire opacity is reached. (I applied about two thin coats.) Leave this aside for now. 

Step 3: 

Apply your base colour of choice, in my case I used Revlon's #320 'Jaded' from their Top Speed line. Let this dry before the next step. 

Step 4:

Using a pair of scissors, cute out thin strips of the painted tape. You can also use arts and crafts scissors to get funky edges. Apply the tape how ever you want onto you finger.

**Be creative! Use different colours. Cut the tape in different angles and thicknesses to create your own look! This is much easier than using a striper!** 

Step 5:

Once you are satisfied with your design, apply your favorite top coat to seal in the look. Of course, I used my Seche Vite fast-drying top coat! This is my holy grail!
