Gel Varnish is fantastic! I tried the Shellac brand but prefer to use GelUX. This varnish gives you a shiny, smooth finish and lasts on toes for up to 4 weeks and on fingers for 2 weeks WITHOUT chipping! The gel also protects the nail and encourages the nail to grow.

I Was mainly doing the French Acrylics but now, since I invested in some pots of Glitter have been going wild with the Full Glitter Acrylics. They are soo popular and I really love doing them as they look great and are so eye-catching! When I put my first set on I couldn`t stop looking at them! Here are a few images of the Full Glitter Nails…

Peachy TIPS

·         Pulling out your own lashes when removing Falsies? Use a little baby oil on a cotton bud and rub along the lash line to loosen them first!

·         When contouring your face (cheekbones, nose or jaw), use either a foundation or powder (this can be eye-shadow) which is no more than 2 shades darker than your skin. Also make sure the foundation or powder has a cool tone to it for a more natural effect.


·         Brows. Want to fill in your eye-brows without them looking too heavy and false? Use an eye shadow which is roughly to shades lighter than your hair colour. To apply use a slanted make-up brush and apply in small light strokes, following the natural brow shape. To finish brush through a clear mascara to remove excess powder and set brows. VoilĂ .

·         Lips. When wearing a strong lip colour… ALWAYS use a matching lip liner. This will prevent the lipstick from bleeding and will also give the appearance of a fuller lip.

·         When lining lips, do not draw around mouth , instead try to follow the very edge of the natural lip line.
