Debs Nail Inspiration

Hey guys!

With my debs coming up in a few weeks I realised just how many options are out there for your nails. I'm getting extensions for mine and still haven't fully decided what I'd like done so I've compiled a few of my favourite looks that I've come across! 

The shape of the nail you decide on is pretty important. I'm currently stuck between Ballerina and Stiletto. I would love a long nail but can't decide between this two shapes although I'm currently leaning towards ballerina!

My dress is pretty neutral so I am definitely going to stick with neutral nails with a hint of glitter!

I love these nails. I love a good matte set and this set would go with almost any dress!

Okay I'm not big on nail art so I wouldn't get the added detail but I love these nails! Reqemma on instagram gives me serious nail envy and I think this set is so cute and the glitter finish is gorgeous!

Aisling (DramaticMac) gives me serious nail envy and I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with a set just like these ones. I love a nude nail as much as the next girl but a pop of sparkle just makes them even better!

I came across this set on tumblr and they are adorable!  They look like cotton candy and who doesn't love food inspired things?  I think these nails are neutral enough to not clash with my dress and I think they're so cute.

I had to fit a pink set in somewhere......I don't have anything pink in my outfit yet so I'm leaning towards a pink set of nails as a possibility. Anyone that knows me knows I will have pink incorporated somewhere and I think nails are the perfect opportunity to do so. I found this set on instagram and I fell in love!

Do you guys have any suggestions for me?

Clodagh's Nails Review

I've been in the mood to get my nails done for a while now. I finally caved and booked an appointment with Clodagh's Nails on Facebook!

She does acrylic extensions, gel extensions and gelish manicures that range in price from €15 for the gelish manicures to €35 for the gel extensions and acrylic extensions depending on what type of polish you want to have. Regular polish is €25, gelish on the extensions is €35 and extensions with a french manicure is €30. 

I decided to get gel extensions (coffin style) with a regular polish and as an added bonus, I got a matte top coat . I decided to go with 'Recycle' by ChinaGlaze. Grey is one of my favourite colours to wear on my nails because it just looks so simple and effortless.  My nails are fab and they only cost €25!

Clodagh was very friendly and chatty when I arrived. She chatted with me throughout the entire appointment which was nice as it made the time pass by very quickly. She was also really helpful when I was deciding what to get done. 

I would definitely recommend her and would book an appointment with her quickly as I know she is already booked out until the new year.

Vanity Nails Review

My holidays started on Sunday so I decided to treat myself and get my nails done beforehand. I had never gotten my nails done before and Vanity Nails in Dun Laoghaire had a special offer going on so I thought I may as well!

They are doing gel and acrylic (I got acrylic) nails for €35 at the moment which is amazing and the girls are lovely, I would definitely book an appointment with them soon!

Maroon is my go-to colour for any season because it is my obsession. I love it and it is so obvious when you see my wardrobe that I have an unhealthy obsession with the colour. So, when asked what colour I would like, I said maroon with a glitter ring finger. That's when my nail technician showed me Le Chat's Mood Changing Polishes and I fell in love with Crimson Nightfall!

When warm, this polish turns into a bright red colour. I dipped my hand into lukewarm water to demonstrate the colour change.

When cold, the polish changes from a bright red to a deep, almost black, maroon shade. I dipped my hand into cold water to demonstrate the colour change.

I am so in love with the colour change. I usually have the transition colours on my nails as the base is warm, due to it being my actual nail and the tips are cold.

Whatever shade my nails are, I adore the change and it always looks great.

I am also loving this hand chain I picked up in the New Look sale today.

Check out all the hand chains they have left in the sale here!

Don't forget there's just under one day left to enter my birthday giveaway!
