Color Match

COLOR Match

Apparently I am a CoCo…” someone who likes extreme comfort,with relaxation at the front of my mind, no sofa or bed is free from a throw or cushion and no bath free from a scented candle” According to research commissioned by home furnishing brand Colour Match from Argos 75 % of the UK population worry more about impressing others than anything else when it comes to furnishing their home. Thus creating a home that they believe other people will love rather than a home that reflects their own tastes and personality.

The key findings from the survey found that;

·75 per cent of people are primarily concerned with what others think of their home

·56 per cent only opt for homewares that are ‘unadventurous’

·47 per cent furnish their home with the re-sell value in mind

·26 per cent people are distinctly unhappy with at least two rooms in their home

·43 per cent worry that adding too much of their favorite colour could be too ‘dominating’ in the home

So, I took their colour personality test to see which colours actually reflect the true me and I am happy to say it’s pretty much what I do choose anyway. Argos sent me some goodies (pictured above) from their Colour Match range…and even our dog blends in with them! As a Nester the colours suggested for me from the Colour Match range are Cream, Cafe Mocha and Chocolate.

DIY Glitter Polish

DIY-Glitter Polish

I am a huge sucker for glitter nail polishes. Sometimes, though, it can be frustrating when I have a specific color in mind and either can’t find it or it’s too expensive for me to even consider.

I was in a craft store the other day and stumbled across a gorgeous display of glitter. Seeing that they were pretty cheap, I bought a few tubes and spent the next hour experimenting. I’m so happy to report that the experiment was successful! I love how I can now customize my own glitter nail polish color for a low price and in just a few minutes.

So, I decided to share my method with you! Read on to learn how you can make your own glitter nail polish:

What you’ll need:

• 1 old or new bottle of clear nail polish (you can also use a suspension base, which prevents the glitter from sinking to the bottom)
• 1-2 tubes/jars of glitter
• 1 scrap piece of paper or Post-it note
• 1 toothpick

How to:

Step One

Create a funnel with the scrap piece of paper/Post-it note. Staple or tape it to help the paper maintain its form

Step Two

Using the paper funnel, pour a tiny amount of glitter into the bottle of nail polish.

Step Three

Using the toothpick, mix in the glitter.

Note: if you pour too much at once it might clog up and make it hard to stir.

Step Four

Add the cap back on to the polish, then shake the bottle vigorously until well-mixed. Then apply and admire your new customized glitter nail polish!

What Do You Think?

Brittle No more!!!!

Almost twenty percent of the people on Earth suffer from brittle nails. The experts cannot tell exactly what the cause for our nails to weaken is, but they point out that the likely culprits may be the detergents and the removal of nail polish. Other factors are the dry, cold weather and the frequent hand washing.

Fortunately, the natural physical remedy for brittle nails is one of the most commonly met elements on the Earth: silicon. As essential micro element in our bodies, it encourages the creation of two important substances – connective tissue, i.e. collagen that gives our skin, nails and hair strength, health and flexibility, and that hydrate the tissues in our bodies.

You can add more silicon to your healthy diet bet on products from whole grains, leafy vegetables and soybeans. This diet will help not only for the health of your nails. A little more silicon also strengthens the bones and can reduce the following appearance of wrinkles by improving the elasticity of the skin.

If your nails are still weak and brittle then pay a visit to your doctor. This particular symptom may be caused by shortcomings of zinc, iron, calcium, protein, and by more serious diseases, such as lung disease thyroid problems or thyroid problems.

Tarnished Copper Nails

I happen to be an avid blogger. During my hunt for something new this time here’s a new nail art I tried.It called the 

"Tarnished Copper Nails".

Have you seen the old copper statues and monuments, which went green, because of the weather conditions? Have you ever thought of a nail design in such style? If it seems impossible to you, I can assure you there is a way. All you need is proper nail polish colors a piece of sponge and a small dessert spoon. So, let`s start.

Find a copper-colored nail polish and a variety of minty green and blue shades.

Paint the back of the spoon with the “copper”. Use the sponge to apply the other shades over the spoon (as shown on the picture). Use a slightly wet sponge to do so.

Take a different wet sponge to apply the mixture on the nails with gentle taps. Add as many layers as necessary. When you are done, use a top coat with a matte effect for best results.

Don`t forget to take a picture with a statue, while wearing this nail design and show us – it will be quite fun! :)

Hope you njoyed reading..<3 p="">

Back to Basics

Back to Basics

In today’s world with the increasing social fashion quotient stepping into a mall or a new fashion store is the new IT thing!!!! The never exhausting variety types of clothes, accessories and cosmetics coming into the market at times get me so baffled that I start losing touch with my basics. Me and my bestie had been to a recently opened store in my street. All that’s needed is for one girl to step there and the whole avenue knows about the store in few days. So hearing about it through all this grapevine we decided to pay a visit.

Turned out to be a really cute boutique of bags, accessories and not some giant store .Significant amount of turnout for something this new. The bags seemed really cute.I really liked one too but really slipped my mind as to what kind of bag it was.Asked a store girl there. So the second I got home there I was looking for the types of bags and here is a refresh for u too..njoy  

Hope this was useful.......

REVLON NAIL ART!!!!

http://escapingvoid.webs.com/apps/blog/show/31690406-revlon-nail-art-series-

I’ve been obsessive about nail enamel since a very early age. My liking towards nail art and a variety of different types of polish is not hidden  from my people.So as I was over my blogosphere last weekend I heard a lot of buzz about the new REVLON NAIL ART series.Caught my attention the very second.I’m not really a fan of any particular nail product of theirs nor do I recommend any of them.Quiet frankly a lot of their products being not so great hit the pocket of a budget shopper like me.I’d go with something effective yet not over the top.On contrary to the usual products the REVLON NAIL ART MOON CANDY is rather cheap.It comes in several shades and in 2  formats.First being the MOON CANDY..aka the glitter vernis  and the second being NEON .Both come in several shades.Here’s a look at the entire range of MOON CANDY shades available.

Being affordable I couldn’t stop myself from buying it.I bought 2 one called Eclipse and one called Galactic.I used to be have an inclination to glitter nail polishes in my school days but soon lost interest. These just remind me of the good old days. Anyways coming back to the review the packaging is good.The paint is a good quantity of 7.68 ml.

The first one is the Eclipse.A good shade of magenta and glitter in pinkish blue.The second here the Galactic a shade of dark Prussian blue and sky blue glitter.I happen to have used the second one a little so the glitter looks less in quantity.However here’s a close  look at the Eclipse.

The shade of application looks pretty appealing to the others but at times makes me wonder if it really is looking that great.I did receive several compliments for them though. The applicator is pretty small so requires a time and patience on application.The nail paint is a little runny and can take time drying before you apply the glitter. Patience is the key in this one.Applying the glitter without the base coat drying can make it smudgy and look ugly.But on application worth the efforts.But one single base coat is sufficient.I personally felt after application of Galactic that probably keeping it on alternate fingers or one finger just with base coat only enhances it more. Nyways do give it a try and let me know..XOXO..
