Instant Manicure: Elegant Touch Mix It Up Pretty Pastels

Sometimes a girl just wants to have it all.. and why shouldn't you? When it comes to manicures one colour isn't always enough so Elegant Touch have made the ultimate kit for mixing up your shades.

The Elegant Touch press on nails come in sets of 3 colours (36 nails in total) for £6.99 here. I was sent the Pretty Pastels set to trial, but unfortunately as I already have gel nails, I had to find a willing volunteer instead. She chose to go with the more conventional approach of a set the same colour, which just shows that you could have 3 manicures from only one kit!

In less than 10 minutes the nails were applied and felt fairly sturdy, taking much less time than your regular polish manicure to dry. The short length and rounded corners look really natural and elegant, even though my volunteer is of small stature with delicate hands, these nails still looked perfectly in proportion!

I love mixing colours, especially when it comes to groups such as pastels and neons. I think they can look really fun and quirky, without being outlandish...

What do you guys think of mixing nail polish colours? Have you tried any of the Elegant Touch Mix it Up sets? xxx

Candy Sprinkles Envy Wraps Bling

Nail wraps are imho one of the best innovations in the last few years. They make even the most complicated of designs so simple and fast to achieve without fuss, fumes or frustration. As much as I love the idea of the Ciate Caviar nails (I am still on the waiting list for a set) I dread the spillage that will undoubtedly ensue when my shaky hands finally get hold of all those little beads.

I was therefore very much excited to see that Elegant Touch have released their own textured nail stickers - the new Envy Wraps Bling in Candy Sprinkles. These work just like any other nail wrap, but the little multi coloured gems are 3D, which makes them all sorts of sparkly!

Having just painted my nails the day before these landed on my doorstep I was too impatient to wait and decided to try them straight away. The base of the wraps is clear so you can apply them on your bare nail or on top of any coloured polish. You don’t need any heat with these so they were super quick to apply and lasted for about 3 days before the edges started fraying and peeling off.

I can genuinely say that I got so many compliments on my little Candy Sprinkles ‘feature’ nails over the next few days and most people were shocked that these were wraps as they thought I had painstakingly applied the gems individually.

Envy Wraps Bling can be purchased here for £6.99. Other designs in the range include silver droplets, leopard and zebra prints.
