Nail School!

Hey everyone!

So over the past week or so I've been doing some training at The Beauty Academy in Manchester, to complete an NVQ Level 2 in Nail Services. So far I've learnt how to do a Manicure, Luxury Manicure, Pedicure, Luxury Pedicure, apply Gel Extensions and apply Acrylics. The hardest part was definitely the acrylics, but it was all a pretty fun and interesting process- I feel like I've learnt a lot, and I still have loads to learn.



I'm gonna be a bit busy (and a bit all over the place) over the next few weeks as Summer draws to a close and I get down to business with the written work I have to do for the NVQ, but I'm going to try to post regularly, and of course do my own nails too. Can't be walking around with bare nails now can I!?

Today I'm organising my polish collection... again. With colour wheels this time, so this should be pretty fun, and I'll update you on that at some point soon! I also still have an item to review for Lady Queen Beauty (I haven't forgotten, just been busy!), but you can check out the previous one here.

And with that I hope you've had a good few weeks, and I will catch you very very soon. If you're keeping up to date on social media you should be keeping up to date with posts quite nicely, and getting some extra goodies in between!

See you very soon! Byeeee!

How To: Gradient Nails

Gradient nails are a great way to ensure that your mani matches your outfit over a set period of days (depending on how many colours you use), and it also just looks pretty dang awesome. You've seen a few of my own mani's where gradients have been used (these ones below, in example), especially those in more recent posts! So a tutorial is definitely long overdue- I hope you find it useful!
