Guest Post: In a Glittery Bind

Last up on the Guest Post Front we have Bex. Bex is a qualified MUA and she's pretty much one of the coolest people I know. She's straight talking and unassuming. Downright lurvely.

Hello all!

My name is Bex, and I've popped over to Sera's blog today to give her a little hand as she is in the process of moving, I blog over at Bexberry.com, so if you like today's guest post, feel free to give me a visit and say hello!

Anywho, if you are anything like me, then you're a bit of a magpie when it comes to glitter. I just can't resist the shiny sparkle!! However, it's not always appropriate to adorn myself with glitter like a 13 year old at a school disco (admit it, you all used to have those weird roller ball glitter pens, and they got slathered on!) so I am rather fond of a glitter manicure, a sorta of grown up version of the disco look!lol

However, when it comes to removing it, well, it's rather difficult, but I am here to save the day with this wonderful wee trick which will solve all your glitter removal woes!

Firstly you will need a few bits and peices

Scissors, tinfoil, nail polish remover, cotton wool a cuticle stick and some glittery fingers

Cut your tinfoil in to large squares (1 for each glittery finger) and I cut my cotton pads in half

Soak your cotton wool in nail polish remover and place on the nail, then take one of your tin foil sqaures and wrap it around each finger, so it holds the cotton wool tightly in place, it should look like this:

Now relax, sit back, watch the telly, phone home (get it! Because you're like E.T with your alien tinfoil fingers? haha, I crack myself up)

After about 4 - 5 mins, press down on the nail area, give it a wee wiggle and slide off your stylish tin foil wrap.

And Voila!

Now sometimes, a few wee glitter bits can linger on your fingers, so use another piece of cotton wool to give the area around your nails a quick rub over to lift those pesky stragglers. You can use your cuticle stick as well if there are a few bits around the cuticle area.

note to self, use a base coat, that thumb nail looks like it's had a bad tan job!

Well I hope you enjoyed that, and that Sera isn't regretting her decision to let me take over The Agoraphobic Fashionista for a day!

Hope to see you all soon at bexberry.com
