Christmas Nails: Festive Penguins

Christmas Nails: Festive Penguins

There's not much I love more at Christmas than painting my nails. I saw a design like this on Pinterest, and decided to recreate the look. Here's what you'll need:

• A mint Coloured varnish- here I have Rimmel 60 Seconds 
• Matte Black Nail Varnish- Barry M
• Matte White Nail Varnish- Barry M
• Brown Nail Varnish- Revlon Expresso
• Orange Nail Varnish- Collection 60 Seconds
• Green Nail Varnish- NYC
• Blue Nail Varnish- Barry M
• Red Nail Varnish- Drop Dead Gorgeous
• Glitter Nail Varnish- Seventeen         (Optional)
• Clear Top Coat- Barry M Plump Top Coat

1. First Things first, either apply your fake nails or a base coat onto natural nails.
 2. Take the Mint colour and apply 2 coats to your 
nails.















3.Use the Black to draw an oval on each nail and fill it in, this will be the base for your penguins. *At this point, you can add glitter over the black if you want.

  4.Use the White to draw the inside circle of the penguin.  Paint on black eyes to each penguin. 

 5. Use the orange to draw on flippers, and an orange beak on 3 of your nails. Draw on a red nose to the other 2. I would recommend choosing the thumb and ring finger as these have spaces in between.

   6. Use the brown to draw on antlers. Draw on hats with red and green; then use a dotting tool to make the holly.

 7. Dot the end of the Santa hat in white, draw on small leaves for the holly. Then dot the end of the elf hat with red and draw on a small scarf using the blue.

8.Finish off the design by applying 1-2 coats of Top Coat. Enjoy!

Winter Pamper Routine!

Winter Pamper Routine

Hey Guys, Ginger Fox Here!

When you have a full time job or commitment, it can be very easy to forget to take some time out for yourself. So here I have come up with a super easy routine which will make you feel tonnes more relaxed and give you that much needed me time. 

1. Run a Bath

Find a time that best suits you; light a couple of nice candles; put on some calming music or a video and start to run your bath. If you have any bubble bath or a Bath bomb- pop them into the tub and enjoy the fragrance as you soak. If it was me, I would also have a glass of wine. For relaxing purposes... obviously.

Sometimes it's just not practical to have a bath, and that's fine. Instead- pick out your favourite scented shower gel and a body scrub if you have one and take your time massaging all over your body, concentrating on any tight muscles.

2. Apply a Face Mask

If you can do this while you lie in the bath- that's great! (You can still do it in the shower too) 

I recently purchased a new face mask by NSPA- and I have been absolutely loving it! It makes my skin feel really refreshed- you can find it here. Leave it on for around 10 minutes and wash it off with a damp flannel. 

3. Moisturise your Skin

Once you get out of the bath or shower, pick up your favourite body butter and massage it into your skin. Not only will your skin end up super soft- it will smell amazing too! Make sure you also moisturise your face at this point. I use this moisturiser.

4. Get into comfy clothes

Search out either your fluffiest Pyjamas or loungewear, this part is really important! It will make you feel cosy, warm, and most importantly; relaxed! 

5. Relax for the Evening! 

This is the easiest part: because you don't have to do a thing! Either order in a takeaway, have a glass of wine or simply watch some good TV. This is your time so make it as you want it. 

I hope you found this useful!
