My 'at the moment' fav nail polish, OPI I think in pink

As i am a mobile nail technician specialising in a gel type polish (that lasts up to two weeks) i very rarely paint my nails with standard polish, but when i decide to give myself a little change i always end up back testing my old favourite polishes.

The one im loving again at the moment is OPI I think in pink, this isnt very 'in season' at the moment but i am a very big fan of pink and this polish especialy is a barbie pastel pink, anyone that loves pink this is adorable in summer but anyhow i have painted my nails to brighten myself up and pastel colours are so in just now so take that daring step to brighten up your spring look.

If you dont already know OPI are a well known nail brand and have a huge range of polishes in every colour possible, they have a great formula making it easy to apply and most could realy be fine with one coat (if you dont feel that confident in painting your nails) i normaly always apply two coats just for the best look.
After applying the polish i then add a top coat of Seche Vete - quick drying, chip free top coat, this is also amazing and a must have in your collection ( i have did a review on Seche Vete)

Seche Vite Top Coat Review

I have heard some amazing things about the Seche Vite nail care range and what i was so excited to try was there famous quick dry top coat for nail polish it also states that it prevents chips and smudging, leaving a glossy shine.

Here is some info i found on Seche Vite the brand. "Seche, Inc. was founded in 1991 to manufacture market and distribute the revolutionary technology that was to become Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat. The intention from the very beginning was to provide this amazing technology to the professional nail technician. Seche Vite was the first single procedure non-yellowing dry fast top coat for nail polish that dried and protected the underlying nail polish much faster and created a more durable shield than anything on the market. It is still, after more than a decade, the finest and most highly acclaimed top coat for nail polish in the world."

This top coat does exactly what it says on the bottle! It is amazing, you apply a good layer to polished nails (i applied two coats) still being careful and gove it a few mins setting time although it automaticly feels dry i would recommend leaving it for a bit to be on the safe side, having said this when it sets pretty much after you have finished applying the two coats to all nails, i couldnt help but want to touch the top (not hard or rubbing it) but just to feel how smooth it feels on the nail and does feel like it drys straight away leaving a glossy finish.
I am so far very please with this product and i will do an updated review on how long it helps the polish last.
Seche Vite have a wide range of products which you can purchase these from well known beauty supply stores such as www.salonservices.com www.feelunique.com www.boots.com

Steps to prep the skin in the correct way for makeup etc

Here are some of my steps to correctly applying skincare/makeup to your face.

To get the most from your skin care (face products) it’s important to put them on in the right order.

You first want to put anything medicated or any treatment product (for acne etc) they go on next to skin so after cleansing the face apply these, this way the active ingredients can penetrate right into your skin properly and i would always give this time sink into your skin.

Next you want to apply your sunscreen to protected your skin from harmful rays even in the winter, what i suggest as a quicker option especialy in the mornings going to work is that most moisturisers have an SPF in them so i normaly just use a moisturiser at this point or tinted moisturiser.
You want to make sure your skin is always moisturised well and use one that is suited to your skin type, once again let this soak into your skin.

Then you are ready to apply your makeup whether it be full foundation or if you are lucky enough only concealer where needed.
