Acrylic Nails || Nail Candy Plymouth...

I recently got my first acrylics at Nail Candy Plymouth and safe to say I am in love...

I am forever pinning on Pinterest so had lots of ideas for what I wanted.

It was a typically rainy day, I walked into the salon and was greeted with lots of smiley faces.

I had the lovely owner Meghan doing my nails; I showed her my ideas and I chose this design using coloured foils. 

The total time to do my nails was 2 hours. Because the salon had a lovely relaxed atmosphere, we were all chatting away that I didn't notice the time flying by. 

The reason I wanted acrylic nails was that my nails always broke when they got past a certain length.

Meghan did my nails using forms which means no ruining my natural nails by sticking tips on.

She did a natural coloured acrylic base and then added the black using shellac. After she had set the last layer of black shellac, she used the tacky layer to stick on the coloured foils. Once I was happy with the design she sealed it all with a top coat.

One of the reasons I wanted my nails done at Nail Candy is the fact they create super natural looking acrylics, they aren't bulky like I've seen a lot elsewhere. 

The ladies there are really lovely and professional, they make you feel very welcome.

They offer a variety of services like feather hair extensions and henna.

You can find more information & prices on their website -

I will definitely be going back to get refills and a new design in a few weeks.

Barry M || Sunset Daylight Curing Polish...

 Barry M have recently come out with a new range of daylight curing gel-like nail varnishes.

I have always loved the nail varnishes from Barry M as they are affordable, the quality is amazing and the range of colours is incredible. 

I was in Boots and couldn't help myself as these were on a buy one get one half price deal and I just really wanted to try them. 

The main reason I wanted to test this range out was that every nail varnish hates me, it chips in under a day and never stays on. 

There are seven colours to choose from in this range and a special top coat that goes with them. 

Do It Like A Nude - A white based nude.

Peach For The Stars - A bright peachy pink/orange.

I've Been Pinkin' - A bright pink.

You Drive Me Navy - An electric navy blue.

Fuschia Generation - A deep fuschia pink.

Can't Get You Out Of My Red - A classic red.

The Way You Make Me Teal - A bright blue/green teal.

I loved the look of all of the colours but in the end I chose the colour Peach for the Stars along with the daylight curing top coat. I may have to go back for the teal colour.

The formulation is like any other Barry M nail varnish and has very good pigmentation and goes on smoothly. I applied two coats of the colour, let them dry and then added the top coat. You end up with gloriously shiney nails. 

It dries pretty fast, which I wasn't expecting, so I managed not to smudge anything and it managed to stay on my nails a bit longer than normal nail varnish - a whole 2 days before it chipped!!

You can buy them here from Superdrug, here from Boots and from the Barry M Website. 

They are £4.99 each which is a little more than their other nail varnish ranges but still a very reasonable price. 

I hope you enjoyed this post and also found it useful.
