Mecca Beauty Loop Unboxings - February 2015

Mecca Beauty Loop Unboxings - February 2015

I've been spending all my spare pennies in Mecca stores for ages and never thought about actually doing a little review of the quarterly boxes I receive.

Basically there are three levels of reward, depending on what you spend each year, and I am a spend-a-holic and can't go into Mecca without buying something, so I am on the top level!  Mum is on level two so I have two boxes to show you guys and I will now make this a regular quarterly unboxing so you can see what you get as a thank you from Mecca.

All details are in the description box below the video.




I hope you like it :-)

ModelCo Nail Polish Review

ModelCo Nail Polish Review

Just a quick review to show you how mind-blowing these polishes are.

The are five free, long lasting, chip free polishes that come in a wide range of amazing colours at a great price.

I would highly recommend these and find them as good as any professional brand of polish I use.  Also the removal of these is easy and there is no staining of the nail.


I hope you like the video and thanks for watching.

Full Coverage Foil Application Over Gel II

Full Coverage Foil Application Over Gel II


If you are wondering if you can get full coverage foil nail art over Gel II, the answer is yes!

It's very easy and looks fantastic.

I get all my nail foils from the same supplier, who is consistently good and has an amazing range.  She sells worldwide, with some UK exceptions I believe.  All her details are listed in the description bar of the video, along with all the information you need if you want to purchase Gel II.  

I've done a range of different foils to give you some idea of what's out there.

I hope you enjoy the video.  If you do, please subscribe to my YouTube channel.  Links can be found in the description bar of the video.



Thanks for watching.

Gel II Removal - NO BUFFING REQUIRED!

Gel II Removal - NO BUFFING REQUIRED!

I decided to try something different with my Gel II removal when I took my product off this time as I've heard that some of you lovely ladies are having great success in removal with no buffing.

I typically have two colour coats, a stamping layer and I generally finish off with two top coats of the Xtreme Shine topcoat.  Unnecessary probably but I am still doing the same as I did with the previous product I used on my nails.

So I took some photos to see how I would go and I will follow this up with a full removal video next time I remove my Gel II.

I wrapped the nails using the Gel II Remover Wraps and I used pure acetone.  I then secured them with my proTIPCLIPS, just for extra pressure on the nail.




I then covered the nails with a warm wheat bag and set the timer for 10 minutes.  Now I did find that this was in fact too hot for my nails so I didn't leave the wheat bag on the entire time.  It was probably on for realistically around five minutes.




When I removed the wraps I was really pleased to see that the Gel II had lifted up nicely off the nails and I was able to go in give them a good rub with a plastic backed pad.



After the plastic backed pad I went in very gently with an orange wood stick and removed any excess product from the nail and finished off with another good rub with a plastic backed pad and the result was really great.  No damage or dryness to my nails at all and removal in 15 minutes (including wrapping and removing remaining product).



Even though it doesn't look like you will be able to remove it easily, and can look like it's still well adhered to the nail, don't be fooled!  If you follow these steps you will have the product off in no time and some gorgeous, strong nails when you've finished removal.

As I said, I will have a full removal video up next time I remove my Gel II so stay tuned to my YouTube channel for that.

I hope this helped you :-)

Sharpie Watercolour Nail Art Over Gel II

Tuesday, 3 February 2015

Sharpie Watercolour Nail Art Over Gel II

So the latest craze in easy nail art seems to be using permanent markers (sharpies) and alcohol to create a watercolour (water marbling) design.

I was asked to do a tutorial to show how to achieve this look so here it is!

I've used Gel II in Extreme Arctic White for the red and pink nails, the new Peppermint Pony from Gel II's Spring 2015 Carousel collection for the green nail and obviously Frou Frou Blue for the blue nail, as shown in the video.

This is a pretty fool-proof technique and you can achieve some beautiful effects.

I hope you enjoy the video :-)
