Hey guys. I have another guest post for you today and this one is by my all time nail bestie, Sam! t was actually Sam that first introduced me to the likes of Uber Chic and created the stamping monster that I am today haha! I hope you enjoy Sam's awesome post about her favourite nail art essentials.
Hello all! Wow, I’m not used to such a big audience (*loosens collar*) so if you don’t know me, that’s cool! My name is Sam AKA @theonenailqueen in London (more Instagrammer than blogger), and the lovely Beth has asked me to write a post whilst she get back into blogging after her holiday.
I thought I’d write something that fellow nail art lovers might find useful if you’re starting out in the vast and ever expanding world of nail art! I’m a massive fan of stamping primarily, but I also enjoy the odd holo pigment, so let’s get going…
UNT Peel Off Base Coat
This stuff is a life saver! If you change your polish a lot, this will make things sooooo much easier for you! To get my polish off when I use this, I loosen the polish with some oil ( I don’t tend to use oil when I’m wearing UNT because it can activate the undesired effect of your polish popping off!). Once you’ve rubbed a generous amount of oil around the base of your nail, I use an orange wood stick (or another nail…naughty) to pop it off! Et voila!
I find it lasts the longest with thin coats of polish, so gradients last well; my thick smooshy manis and glitter polishes, not so much. Another great thing is that you can use this as a base if you’re using gel polish with say pigments, or glitters, and it peels off in the same way! I often give my nails a wipe with some polish remover after removing UNT just to get rid of any residue before the next mani.
