Hey guys!
I have been a fan of stiletto nails since forever, the first time I saw them on Rihanna (#wcw) I fell in love but I didn't know what they were called and I hate going to have my nails done, (weird I know but it's so time consuming!). Anyway earlier I saw a you tuber buy the elegant touch stiletto false nails in a haul and I instantly decided to pop up town to buy a pack. One thing I always wondered was how difficult are they to keep on and I'm still wondering as I sit here struggling to type this blog post. As the name suggests they are super long and they come to a point which is proving quite useful at the moment when I'm trying to hit the right keys.
I used the glue from the pack which is ok stuff, definitely not the best but it'll do until I find my trusty nailene glue. I then decided do add a pop of colour and attempt the heart shape at the end of the nails, needless to say that my attempt worked relatively well on about two of them. But as they say- 'practise makes perfect' and that is my plan. The heart shape is simple- you just creat an 'm' about half way up the nail from one side to the other, just keeping the perfect shape and line is the difficult part. The red polka dots were easier, just dip the end of a open bobby pin (aka granny clip, slide clip, hair grip etc etc….) and dab gently on to the nails. I then swiped a little bit of the sally hansen mega shiny top coat on the polka dot nails and just over the heart shape on the others to add a nicer finish. (Sally Hansen mega shine is one of my all time fave top coats. Just thought I'd throw that in and let you know.) I loved trying these and I'm definitely going to try more and more designs!
Hope you enjoyed today's post!
