W7 Nail Bling – White Night.

Morning Guys,

If any of you follow me on my other social media sites you will know that I was recently very kindly sent some W7 Nail and make up products from the lovely people at Aquapr and today I am reviewing the Nail Bling set in White Night.

W7 Nail Bling - White Night

W7 Nail Bling – White Night

My nails have started to grow nicely recently so I have really gotten into painting them again regularly so I was pleased when they sent me something for my nails too, the only thing I was dubious about was the glitters in the set as the last time I used nail glitter it ended up all over my bed rather than on my nails as I’m really quite clumsy and careless when it comes to stuff like this but as long as I persevere and take my time I knew it would be fine.

I started by cleaning and applying a base coat to my nails as I have a somewhat uneven nail surface I opted for a ridge filler base coat by Make Up Gallery at Poundland; which left me with a nice even base for me to apply the W7 polish.

I waited for this to dry completely before applying the W7 polish. The instructions indicate for you to apply a first coat of polish and allow that to dry completely too so I did just that; it wasn’t the quickest drying polish I have ever used but none the less it dried in reasonable time, I was a little dubious as when I applied the first coat it seemed quite streaky and transparent in places but not to worry the 2nd coat was fine.

The packet then reads that you are to apply a 2nd coat of polish and before it dries you are to dip your nail in one of the glitter pots get the sparkly coat. I applied my 2nd coat nail by nail as I didn’t want the polish to dry by the time it came to coating the last nails I left the 2nd coat around 10 -15 seconds before dipping my nail in the glitter I gave them a quick blow and used a cotton bud to remove any excess from around my nails/fingers and patted gently on the nail to ensure the glitter was stuck, I then repeated these steps for my remaining nails. Once all nails were coated and completely dry I finished with a Clear top coat also from Make Up Gallery just to seal in the finished look.

All in all it was quite an easy process and took me around half an hour to do both hands as long as you take your time and be patient this can be a really cost effective way to Glam up your nails without having to leave your house the only thing I will point out is it was a little hard to get the whole of my thumb nail into the pot but I just used an old lip brush to apply the glitter to the bottom of the nail instead so it was no biggie :-).

I really enjoyed using this set, it was easier than I initially thought, I love the style of the W7 bottle it reminds me somewhat of the bottles used by O.P.I I had never owned W7 Nail polish before now, but I was impressed and have since bought some other W7 Polishes.

I would definitely recommend the Nail Bling sets if you are looking for pretty nails on a budget and I myself will be looking to purchase other sets in the range, I rate this product a 4 out 5 on it’s good quality and ease of application along with its lovely finish, perhaps if it was easier to fit my thumbs in the pot it would have been a 5.

Nail Bling can be bought in various on and off line stores and I have found prices start from around £2.45 per set on Amazon which is a steal if you ask me.

Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color – 903 Silver Elements.

Hi guys this evening I have for you a quick review of Sally Hansen’s Magnetic Nail Color in 903 Silver Elements.

So, recently I have once again become obsessed with Make-up and Beauty I went through a stage (a very long stage) of not giving a damn and not making much of an effort with myself I may of seemed like I didn’t care on the surface but deep down I hated it and myself. I’ve gotten to the stage where I’m fed up of feeling errrrgggh and realised the only person who could change that feeling was me. I want to get back to feeling happy and good in myself. I have started doing a full face of make up every morning and styling my hair again rather than just sticking to the regular un-brushed birds nest on top of my head even my nails are manicured if I get a chip then its off with that polish and a new one is applied having nice nails always makes you feel good, well it does me anyway.

Since the old NEW me has re-appeared there hasn’t been one shopping trip where I haven’t purchased any health or beauty items and today was no exception browsing through my local Poundland beauty section I came across a Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color (I know we spell it colour but that’s what the packaging says) and at a £1 (OBVIOUSLY) I Couldn’t leave it there I love how the budget stores are now stocking big branded Make-up it means everyone can enjoy big brand names on a budget it’s great.

Once I got home I couldn’t wait to try it so off I went upstairs to create a masterpiece on my Nails.

The instructions are pretty straight forward:

  1. Apply 1 coat of base coat
  2. Shake magnetic Nail Color to activate
  3. Remove overcap with magnet and set aside
  4. Apply 1 coat of Magnetic Color to all 10 nails and let dry completely
  5. Apply a thick 2nd coat of color to 1 nail and immediately hold the built in magnetic cover over the nail rest the guide just past the cuticle being  careful not to touch the wet polish
  6. Hold in position for 10 seconds
  7. Repeat steps 5 & 6 until all 10 nails are complete
  8. Finish wish a top coat if needed.

I have never had much faith in Magnetic nail polishes so therefore have never purchased them but for a £1 I had nothing to lose by purchasing this one. I should never have worried after perfecting steps 5 through 7 my nails turned out great as you can see in the picture above. I didn’t finish mine with a top coat as it kept making my nails sticky but it’s totally your preference.

I love most things about this polish I love the shape of the bottle I’m pretty funny with shapes and don’t like polishes in square bottles – odd I know!! The magnet is on top of the lid but the clever part is it detaches revealing the brush has its own lid underneath; very handy. The cap has the pattern of the magnet etched into it but it also makes the bottle look really cool, the colour goes on evenly and is quite opaque which I love you could use this polish without the magnet effect and get away with only doing one coat it also dries surprisingly quickly which is more than I can say for other brands of nail polish. The only one quibble I have is that it hasn’t got a large fan brush but it’s not really a problem it’s just that I have gotten used to the brush on the Rimmel Salon Pro polishes that I have been using recently. All in all This Is quite a good polish and gives a good effect n the nails I love this colour but am going to try more if I can find them, I have found this Polish  on Amazon for £1.99 upwards so definitely a bargain at £1 and I would definitely recommend to others.
