I love gradient nails because , I have short nails and this design works on all nail lengths, you don't need the steadiest of hands, it's really easy, it's quick, and it looks good too.
firstly you need to paint your nails with a base coat to prevent staining on the nail. then you need to paint one or two coats of a colour your choice I chose purple to go with my gold glitter(:
next paint a thin coat of your glitter polish all over the nail I chose one nail to paint just as an accent nail but you can do as many as you would like.
next once you've let the polish dry you want to take you glitter polish and paint a coat about three quarters of the way down the nail.
let that dry then just paint the tip of the nail, let that dry then add a top coat for longer lasting wear.

No7 beautiful skin quick thinking wipes;review.
If you are a boots junkie like me then you have probably had your share of '£5 off No7' vouchers I tend to use these in the make-up wipes as I go through these so quickly. They are seven pounds but only 2 with the vouchers with I personally think is a bargin!
They claim to be for all skin types, to remove even waterproof mascara, and to be hypo-allergenic. I have oily sensitive skin and they work well for me, I also have friends with different skin types to me and find them amazing. I don't usually use water-proof mascara, so I don't know if they do remove it, but it does leave my skin feeling clean and fresh. I'm not allergic to anything, I think at least but I do have awfully sensitive skin(cheers dad -.-) so I'm sure if my skin doesn't react negatively to the wipes people with allergies skin wont react, but I advise you to check the ingredients first.
Over all they are a bargin and I do recommend getting them especially if you have five pound off vouchers.

some other things; they smell really nice, I can't quite place my finger on it but they smell nice. there are 30 wipes in the pack. It has a very good lid thing, it's a plastic lid instead of a sticker which comes off and then your wipes dry out.
have a nice day'xo.

collection 2000 pressed powder;review.
I love collection 2000 products for many reasons;
They are 'drug store' therefore absolute bargains.
most of the products are amazing, not only for the price but for any price to be honest.
anyway I got introduced to collection 2000 products by my friend Beth, she used the pressed powder and let me try it one day, I LOVED IT! and I still do.
Pros;
A slight coverage(apart from the translucent of course).
As I said an absolute bargain only 2.99.
Keeps shine away, for me at least and I have very oily skin.
It makes your face feel so smooth.
I have sensitive skin and this hasn't broke me out at all.
cons;
It is know to shatter once you've hit pan, which is not practical at all.
some times the lid breaks, but it's only because I keep this in my 'on the go make-up bag'
I always apply this with my Avon kabuki brush which give a very nice finish, this is available in all 'drug stores' in the UK sadly this is an only English brand. If your wondering I use the translucent. I do recommend this, It's very good for the price and I love this.
have a nice day<3.

Maybelline dream nude air-foam;review.
I have recently been sucked into buying some more make-up so expect some reviews hope you like this one have a lovely day(:<3 I'm in the shade 005 light beige if your wondering(:
First impressions;
When I was in boots I squirted some product out from the tester and loads came out, so I was scared that I'd squirt loads out when I actually used it.
In boots I didn't notice that there was some shimmers on the packaging so I was scared that the actual product would be shimmery (because I have oily skin I like a matte finish).
When I shook the can in the shop and heard the little ball,it reminded me of spray paint which is probably half the reason I bought it haha. Sorry I'm very easily amused;).
cons;
It is very easy to squirt out too much, therefore wasting alot of product.
If you apply too much your face will go streaky even with a setting powder on top.
pros;
It is very lightweight and blend-able.
In my opinion it is medium coverage it is build able but it does go streaky.
It does stay on most of the day I do touch-up at lunch time but only with powder because I have oily skin.
it is a 'drug-store' product so the p[rice is quite reasonable 6.99 at boots but usually 8.99.
this is available in all 'drug stores' as far as I know this is available outside of the UK but I'm not a hundred percent sure.
I apply this using my fingers as I do with all my liquid foundations, which I find the easiest in my opinion this blends to a nice finish, I set this using collection 2000's pressed powder the translucent one, or the natural collection's pressed powder in neutral. I'm sorry to say but collection 2000 and the natural collection are both UK based brands .

Nail polish 'booboos'?
I am a very heavy handed,lazy person that when it comes to doing my nails I just get more nail polish on my fingers than on my actual nails.
But I don't like to use nail polish remover on my skin because I have very sensitive skin, also nail polish remover is very drying,I recommend after applying your top coat and it's dry. Simply soaking your hands in warm water for a few minuets, until all the polish has soaked off. Your skin swells when it's wet and hot therefore the polish easily soaks off.
Let me know how this works and have a lovely day(:'xoxox -Sara.

Mascara 'booboos'
I am the type of person who piles on mascara, uses about ten(well six actually), get's product all around my eyes and has a tip to help!
After I have finished applying all six mascaras and having black all around my eyes, I let it dry. after letting the 'booboos' dry I take a cotton bud, but you could also use a eye-liner smudger they work just fine, anyway you take a smudger or a cotton bud and simply rub the dry mascara excess and it should look as if your not a lazy cluts with your mascara.
Let me know how this works for you,and have a lovely beautiful day!
