Introducing a green revolution at your fingertips: Earthy Nails launches its long-lasting and eco-friendly nail colours combining salon-quality shine, sustainability and gentleness.

With the recent announcement confirming that nail technicians are allowed to offer their services again, many of us simply cannot wait to get our nails done and looking fantastic. 

Most people ignore their feet throughout winters. Mostly layered up in warm socks, little attention is paid to foot care and hygiene. By the time summer comes, people struggle with cracked and flaky feet.

Ok ladies it’s time to learn how to do your own manicure and polish while we are still under lockdown. This is a quick and simple Mini Egg design you can do on yourself with the kids, even the hubby in these unprecedented times. They seem to be joining in the fun!


Now you can do this design in either normal polish or gel and I really do not recommended playing with chemicals unless you are trained of course.

I do the design using Gel polish because that’s pretty much all I use these days.

Step 1: You need five different pastel shades as close to resembling mini eggs. 

Step 2: Paint your nails in any colour formation and leave to dry. If using normal lacquer, I would leave to dry in between coats.
Step 3: After checking to see if they are dry again take a dark brown/black polish and use either a tooth pick or hair grip if you haven’t got a dotting tool to create, your desired speckled effect. Leave to Dry.

Step 4: Finally apply the topcoat and leave to dry.

Remember to regularly oil those cuticles even more so important as the isopropyl alcohol present in hand wash is stripping us all of our natural oils due to copious amounts of hand washing.

Remember to STAY IN AND STAY SAFE! 

When it comes to strengthening your nails, the main thing you need to understand is that they depend on your lifestyle.

A Revolutionary Nail Innovation Announced by SensatioNail. 

I'm very excited to bring you the step by steps for one of the nail art looks I created for this season at our recent Fashions Finest LFW event.

Nails are the finishing touches to every outfit. They are one of the most important details to a Photoshoot. Every model or client that comes to see me for any type Photoshoot I make sure the nails reflect the final look.

I compare them to a girls’ handbag or her heels. They can make an everyday casual enable look perfectly polished in every way.

Here is one of the main nail art designs I created for Fashions Finest for the season. 2017 is all about being positive, only have negativity on your nails!

They are so easy to recreate. This look is all about a simple bold black smile line and a wavy half-moon that looks like a cat eye. Imagine your half-moon is an eye and draw in a distinctive flick. You can add any colour you wish and it will look bang up to date!
