Hey Dolls,

This post is the first in the series of posts in which I speak to industry professionals about a range of topics!

First up is Nails, I spoke to the lovely Tanith from The Beauty Yard in Chelmsford!

I always have my nails done here so I asked Tanith for her top 5 nail tips, and here they are:

  1. Always use a base and top coat- not only will it prolong the nail varnish it will prevent your nails getting stained. You can get a variety to suit different needs for example nail strengthening
  2. Use Cuticle Oil- using cuticle oil regularly will keep both your cuticle and nails healthy
  3. Don’t over buff- overbuffing your nails removes layers of your nail and causes damage to your nail beds
  4. No picking!- Don’t pick your gel nails, nails or skin around the nail as it will cause damage
  5. Moisturise your nails and hands daily- moisturising daily will keep your hands and nails healthy!

Thats all for this week, also in the series I will be talking to hair stylists, makeup artists and more beauty experts!

Ciao Bellas,

Hey Dolls,

This week I’m going to take you through getting ready for a family friend’s wedding from hair to shoes, lets go!

First up was hair, me being me no way was I having the stress of doing it myself so the lovely stylist Maria came to my rescue! I went for a up do with on trend braiding and a few loose pieces.

Usually for an event I would have my makeup done professionally, but unfortunately my usual artist was already fully booked (she’s fab so I understand why!) so it was down to me!

As I was wearing a pink and cream outfit I wanted the makeup to compliment it so decided for a pink/champagne eye with a pink gloss (easier maintance). I started with eyes and to achieve the look I wanted had to use an array of shadows and some blushes! Here’s the shadow list not in order: Makeup Geek – peach smoothie, whimsical, MG Blush- head over heels, romance, Too Faced- Strawberry Bon Bon, Tartelette- caregiver, wanderer, Bobbi Brown blush in 41. For glitter I used Too faced glitter glue as a base with Barry M snowglobe. Liner was brown as softer and L’Oréal infallible finishing with Eyelure Luxe Lashes in Trinket!

On my brows I used Benefit precisely brow in shade 3, ABH clear brow gel and the light shade in sleek contour palette to carve out.

For base I used my trusty old faves! Primer- Too faced hangover, Foundation- Chanel perfection lumiere velvet(50), Concealer- Nars creamy in custard and vanilla, Bake- Laura Mercier loose powder, Powder- Rimmel stay Matte, Contour- NYX powder kit, Bronzer- Nars Laguna, Blush- Makeup Geek Romance, Highlight- ABH x Nicole palette Kitty Kat and day dream, Setting spray- Urban Decay all nighter!
