It's here! My second proper YouTube video! I got a lot of lovely comments on my What I Wore To The Wedding post last week and a lot of people had been asking me about how I did my nails.

Here's the secret - it's actually really easy! DONT TELL ANYONE. There is actually a more complex way to do ombre nails properly but if you're a nail art novice or if you only have 10 minutes then THIS is the method for you. 

All you need is two nail polishes and a piece of sponge.

The rest.... is all in this video! It's very short, less than 5 minutes - so take a look!

DIY Ombre Nail Tutorial using Essie & Models Own

Four things.

Its Easter. I love Nail Polish. I love Mini Eggs. I LOVE NAIL POLISH THAT LOOKS LIKE MINI EGGS.

So welcome to my Easter special post which will be unashamedly full of excited capitals and references to mini eggs (affectionately known to me as meggs) - if you dun know - get to know.


Anyway! Ever since Illamasqua launched their Speckled nail polish, I have been absolutely hankering for a bottle (or three) of that subtly mottled nail paint in pastel colours.

But for those of you who, like me, already own enough nail polish to repaint a WHOLE car, buying more nail polish is probably not the best way to keep the bank balance healthy.  It's £14.50 a bottle! You don't need to be an accountant to know that shiz does not bode well for your finances.


SO. Typical Face Value style, I'm going to show you a nice little DIY I did yesterday. It's an easy way to do speckled nails with the polish you've probably already got.

My take on Speckled Nails is a slightly less subtle (but more fun!) version of the original - it's actually coloured glitter sandwiched between pastel coats cos these babies are GOING OUT OUT with me tonight.
