Once you’ve been Shellac-ed, there is just no going back!

.Reading time 1 minute.

Once you’ve been shellac-ed, there is just no going back! This amazing nail colour system has got to be one of my most fabulous finds! I was hooked on it from the very first application, which was  grey shade called Asphalt. I have since enjoyed wearing a few different colour variations including Cocoa this past weekend.

Cocoa is my number one pick for an every day, every mood and every season kinda colour! This amazing nail colour system has not only ensured that my colour stays close to perfect for up to two weeks but because it’s a pore-less system – meaning that oxygen can get through to your nail bed – the health of my nails has also been improved. My nails are quite hard and without Shellac, I could kiss growing them goodbye.

Have you ever tried shellac ? What was your experience with them ? Let me know in the comments.

Tips and Tricks: How to Get the Perfect Lashes

.Reading time 3 minutes.

When eyelashes are intensified it makes a big difference! Sexy lashes add depth to yours eyes and can glamorize any makeup look. But, sometimes our lashes are the hair we pay least attention to. They need love and care, too, so here are 5 tips to keep your eyelashes healthy, full and looking their best for every occasion.

1. Find the Perfect Mascara
When going to the makeup counter choosing the perfect mascara can be challenging because there are some many different types. The two things you should keep in mind are the shape of the wand and the formula. Curved wands curl lashes, skinny wands help to coat each lash without clumping and fatter brushes create a more voluptuous look. When it comes to formulas be sure to keep in mind the look you are trying to achieve, whether it’s lengthening, non-clumping, thickening, waterproof or a color preference.

2. Try False Lashes
False lashes come in every style, length and even texture. They take a little patience to apply but the bold, lush effect is definitely worth the time. Once you’ve chosen your perfect set, bend the strip into a C shape and trying using tweezers and clear-drying glue when applying.

3. Use an Eyelash Curler
To achieve the perfect curl, you should consider using an eyelash curler. Even for the smallest lashes, a nice curl will accentuate and dramatize your look.

4. Condition Your Lashes
Lashes are one of the prettiest features of the eye and you should take are of them just like any other facial feature. Your nighttime routine is important to achieve long and full lashes. Be sure to remove your makeup before bed, and condition your lashes with castor oil, Vaseline or olive oil. Remember, just like the hair on your head lashes break easily when they get dry.

5. Use These Application Tips
When applying mascara, wiggle the brush from side to side instead of up and down. This creates a thicker first coat. You can also experiment with color on your lashes and primer to enhance your lashes prior to application. via Tips and Tricks: How to Get the Perfect Lashes from Coco & Creme.
