How to make Manicure/Nail Polish Last Longer

Hi Loves! Welcome to another blog post of mine this week.
From my analytics, I noticed you like beauty posts... Today, I'll be teaching you a technique I sue in keeping my nail polish on for a longer period of time without chipping.
Whenever the Spirit leads, I get a pro manicure. And if I have something serious ahead like a party or a wedding, I'm deffo getting them done professionally. I might do an acrylic fill which is my now defunct signature French Tips.

In the absence of any of the above mentioned reasons, I like to paint my nails myself.
Usually, I decide on the colour, pattern or theme for the week.
File your nails gently if they aren't in shape. Dust off.
If you have tape, cut a long piece into slender/thing pieces and stick them around your nails to avoid the nail polish giving you extra work after painting.
The next step will be to apply a base coating aka nail hardener aka invisible/clear polish. Allow it to dry a little.

Apply your chosen nail polish colour.
Wait a bit for it to dry a bit.
Then, apply another coat of the invisible/clear polish.
Allow it to dry. If you're in a hurry keep your hand s steady and allow them to dry for 12 minutes then, soak your hands in cold water.
That's today's post guys. How do you make your nail polish dry faster?
Thanks for all the love you continue to show here on the blog and on Facebook and Instagram.
By God's grace, I'll see you in my next post this Thursday :)
Your Friend, Alexandra.

HOW TO STYLE SUMMER SLIPPER AND SANDALS FOR WOMEN | FAVOURITE FASHION FIND OF THE WEEK: Lily of Nigeria

Image
Hi guys! Sometime ago I went to Lidl for some shopping and bought some summer inspired flats. I did a Lidl Haul video on my channel as well. Both of the flats I am reviewing are from a brand called Esmara. I really like the fact that Lidl carries this Esmara brand because they put in research and effort into feet health. Each product is uniquely researched and made to fit international health standards. Your feet will be glad 🙂 Click to Follow Me on Bloglovin The first item I'm reviewing are these set of gold slip on's. They are absolutely cute. I love the pink detail inside and how comfy they are when I wear them. The sole is really durable, and I believe they will last me a very long time. This second item is more or less a sandal. I LOVE the blue detail going on around the embellishment. The leather appears to be something that will last a while. The sole is very durable like the first one. Closer look at the embellishment. Side by side view. Front vi

Click to Follow Me on Bloglovin I love the cool feel of this fabric and the fact that it stretches. It also reminded me of something Kim Kardashian wore. I paired it with these boat shoes just because. I prefer boat shoes to ballerina flats because they give off a bit of elegance and sophistication; but that's just my thoughts. I like to pair them with trousers. I love the colour of this

MARKS AND SPENCER BRA HAUL AND REVIEW

Psalm 18:3-4 KJV I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. As promised in my YouTube video, I have reviewed some bras I got from Marks and Spencer aka  M&S . I've found that at my local M&S store most of the staff there are very welcoming to me. If you're reading, hi Saima ! In today's bra review blog post, my houseplant Oliver makes a cameo as a prop for the bra flatlays. The camera did not pick the second colour of this bra set well. The one at the back is not black or navy, it's maroon red. I absolutely love this colour. If you watched my Primark haul video, you are aware I made the choice to start including colour in my lingerie. However, I couldn't help it, and still picked up some neutral coloured bras from Marks and Spencer . If you missed my youTube video you can watch it here .
