Here’s a few nail art stuff I got for myself to help with the future designs I want to create. I originally wanted more nail art goodies than this but after knowing a portion of my pay check would be contributing to some bills I crossed off a load of items off my wants list. Those will be left for next time.

What I purchased:
Cosmetic sponge wedges
Nail striping tape (Pack of 10 colours)
3 Packs of 500 ring enforcements

For the longest time I’ve wanted to do some gradient nails and any other that requires a sponge so I hopped onto EBay and ordered some latex free cosmetic wedges around the price of £1-2. I’ve used them once so far and I can only say they’re okay, I didn’t receive the effect I wanted from them but I think I’ll need to give them another try.

The nail striping tape is a prize I redeemed from the site Points2shop which I was very slow at earning points from because I refused to do any survey that required my address or download anything. I’ve used these quite a bit and whilst they’re tricky to handle sometimes they’re helpful, I even use them as guides to paint straight lines sometimes.

I remember seeing a few people’s half moon nails and finally got myself some ring reinforcements from the Ryman’s website, a UK stationery store. There was a buy 2 get 1 free promotion or something similar and a free shipping offer going on at that time so I bought 3 which came to a total of £4.18. I thought I was getting a good deal at the time until I actually received them. They’re a bit small as if they’re mini versions, lucky my nails aren’t so wide but I can imagine my thumb nail having a problem with it.
