Nail Supplies Haul

I was in need of nail supplies the other week, so went straight to eBay to stock up! 

The 4 in 1 nail buffer blocks were £1.76 for both, and can be found here. The more you buy, the more you save; you can buy 10 for £5.99, or even 50 for £25!

The nail wheels were £2.75 for 10, and can be found here. I've never had nail wheels before, but thought I'd buy some to compare shades in posts for you guys and practise nail art on. 

Lastly, and most importantly, we have the brushes. The first pack was £2.38 from here, the second pack was £2.49 from here, and the third pack was £1.95 from here. Nail art brushes are a crucial part of my routine because I use them to clean up the edges of my nails after painting them. I simply dip them in nail polish remover and go around the edges with a steady hand. I've bought the first pack before, but can only use a few of the brushes because the rest are too long (it's best to have short ones so you have more control). I bought the second pack on a whim, hoping that they'd do the job well (even though they're not flat like the brushes I'm used to). I used one the other week and was pleased to find that they work just fine! I haven't used the third pack yet, but they're short and flat, so should be fine as well!

What nail products are part of your routine? I also use the Cutex Nourishing Nail Polish Remover and Superdrug Emery Boards, but that's about it! I don't use any cuticle oils or hand creams, even though I probably should. I also don't use base or top coats, and while this works for me, I wouldn't recommend it for everyone!

Look Beauty Nail Pop in Dusky

 

After wearing a dark, gunmetal nail polish for a week and a half, I fancied a delicate, girly shade. Look Beauty's Dusky is a dusky, warm lilac with subtle shimmer. I didn't have any problems with the formula, and it took three coats to become opaque. I don't know if I would pay the original £5 price tag for it, but it's definitely worth the £2.50 I paid during the half price sale. If you fancy trying a couple of shades, they are currently on offer for 2 for £6.

Have you tried any of Look Beauty's Nail Pops?

I wasn't going to blog about the nails I've been sporting this week, but I'm in a blogging mood! I couldn't decide on a colour, so went with four shades. On my baby finger and thumb I have OPI's No Room For The Blues, on my ring finger I have China Glaze's Make Some Noise, on my middle finger I have Barry M's Boots Limited Edition, and on my index finger I have OPI's Shorts Story. They don't exactly go together, but that's what I like about them.

I'm taking these polishes off tonight and will be painting my nails with Models Own Champagne. I haven't worn it for a while and it will make a nice change to the bright nails I've been wearing lately.

I hope you enjoy your Thursday evening! I'm going shopping tomorrow, so expect a haul. I'll be on a mission to find a nice coat with a hood. You would think that clothing stores in rainy Britain would stock more hooded coats than they do, wouldn't you? Silly sausages.
