How To Remove Glitter Nail Polish Easily!

Hey Everyone!

So we all have that glitter polish that we love, and would wear every day if we had the chance, but it's such a pain to remove and takes so long that we can never be bothered to wear it, or when we do we regret it. Sick of ripping 1,000,000 cotton wool pads trying to get that glitter polish off? Then stay tuned for my simple, quick, easy & stress free way to remove glitter polish.


Cut two and a half cotton pads into quarters, and cut 10 strips of tin foil about an inch thick, and 2 or 3 inches wide. You will also need some nail varnish remover.

Soak the quarter of cotton wool in the nail polish remover, and put on your nail.

Wrap a strip of tin foil around your finger, and make sure the cotton wool stays on the nail.

Do this to all 10 fingers(or 2 thumbs and 8 fingers) and leave for 5 minutes. More stubborn polishes may need 10, but I have found 5 works well for most glitter nail polishes.

After 5 minutes of looking gorgeous, with your star wars-esque looking fingers, twist the foil back and forth one or two times and pull them off your fingers. Then you will be left with nails looking like these!(I took this photo immediately after taking the foil off.

Here's the glitter on my nails before I removed it!

Here's another example of glitter polish I wore this weekend that came off exactly the same:


I hope you found this helpful, let me know what you think and tell me if you try this!

Halloween Guest Post


Are you ready for Halloween? I am. I want to say thank you for letting me guest post on your blog! I wanted to share with you an awesome look I created for Halloween! It's simple really, but would go really well with a witches outfit, you can mix up the colours too.
The eye! All you need to do is stick some cellotape across your face, this sounds crazy but it gives you an amazing look! Stick it just under the outer corner of you eye and leave it there till the end. Oh! before doing this you want to use a full coverage foundation so that you have a perfect, one tone base to work with. I applied a red in the inner corners of my eye and into the middle, you can use any colour, what ever matches your costume! I then just simply added a black eye shadow to the crease and outer corner..this is where the cellotape created an awesome curved line! Both of these colour were from my 120 palette. 
Then I added some liquid eye-liner, I just followed the line made by the shadow, then I took the cellotape off! Then I added mascara, you could add in some fake lashes at this point too :) I used 2True liner, I swear by this stuff!
After that I added some right red lip stick, I used Revlon stay lip stick, in flame. It's the brightest one I own, so I thought is suited the occasion! Then I just added a matt black over the top in the middle of my lips, then just add some lip gloss to get the colour to stay. I hope you liked this look, I've never done a make-up tutorial before, so how do you think I did? Lots of love, Sophie xxx

100 Day Spending Ban Week #5


Hi Lovelies!

This week I have honestly, 100% not wanted anything. I don't know if it is because I have been out of the blogosphere for a little while, or because I haven't been into Superdrug or Boots this week. So I decided to do something a little bit different for my update to make it more interesting. I will do my American Wishlist. After watching a video by TheMoshaChic check out her channel here , I decided I wanted to do an American Wishlist. But firstly, how have I done this week? Very well I think, I haven't spent anything apart from on clothes & jewellery(which I'm allowed to, just makeup & beauty I can't spend money on). So I am very happy with that. Now onto the wishlist:


Maybelline Baby Lips in 'Pink Punch'
