Art At Your Fingertips - Sparkly-Nails Review*



Hello Lovelies! Hope your all doing well this week; Today I'm bringing to you another Review from the fabulous Sparkly-Nails who kindly sent me these metallic sticker nail art sheets!

The sheets come within a sealed packet and instructions are upon the back to guide you step by step on the correct way of applying the sticker art. If your like me, still practising nail art but usually stuck for designs or the time to fully concentrate, I found these to be a quick and simple way to have your nails looking professionally done in seconds!


I loved that there were a variety of styles and looks that you could create, and I had two occasions in mind which inspired me for the overall nail look. With both weddings and prom very popular within this time of year, I wanted to give my own take on how I could create a quick and easy look. 

The nail-art stickers which I received were - 

I found that the stickers were detailed and textured yet also delicate so I had to take care using tweezers when handling them. The silver vine stickers were in lines and all connected, so with this in mind I created a French manicure and left it to dry; Then when they were I gently pulled away the clear covering and measured against the nail how much of the sticker I would need to use. Using nail scissors I cut the sticker where needed and lightly picked the edge with tweezers to gradually remove the sticker from the packet, I admit I did find it slightly fiddly because it was so fine but I was proud of my results!


I chose this design to be the wedding theme, mainly because I find it very classic and along with a French manicure it completely sets it off. The nail art I would recommend to be placed either on the full set or just the ring fingers, adorable for the bride!

The gold sunflower designs were such a wonderful idea to turn a bold shade into an eye catching floral style. I chose my Essie nail varnish in the shade, Leading Lady and applied two coats for the background. The sunflowers art can be added in one set, twos or threes, I decided to use the threes and apply to the tip of the dry nail lightly pressing it down with the tip of the tweezers before sealing with a topcoat. 


Overall I found these stickers very fun and easy to use! And I look forward to trying different varnishes and art with them. 
Which design do you like the most, wedding vine or prom sunflowers?
Let me know in the comments!

Interview with Betty Pamper l Make-up Artist The Vintage Pamperbox

1) What has been your key inspiration to your current career?
Ultimately I have always aimed to combine a practical full time job with a creative venture. I think the inspiration for this was probably my mum and step dad when I was growing up. My mum was a fashion designer and my stepdad was a well known fantasy artist so the blueprint for making a living from being creative was set early on.

2) What do you enjoy the most about your job?
I love that I get to work with my best friend Lilly and my husband Nick. I also really enjoy meeting so many different women from all different walks of like. The universal language of glamour means we always have lots to talk about and making women feel amazing about themselves is incredibly rewarding.

3) To date, what has been your 'proudest' moment?
My personal proudest moment was having my little girl. on a professional level seeing my first book in Waterstones takes some beating.I always feel very proud when we see women's confidence grow in front of our eyes as we transform them.

4) Where do you see yourself in the future?
I would love to see the Vintage Pamperbox thrive and my work as a writer and blogger continue to attract readers.

5) What tips/advice would you give to someone who wants to go down the same career path as yourself?
I think you do need the building blocks of make up artistry even if you intend to only do "vintage inspired" styling so attending a make up course is essential. Then try and shadow as many professional make up artists as you can. You will learn so much about client facing skills and working within peoples personal space. Finally always be professional, happy and on time.

6) Which would you say is your favourite item off your website at the moment?
My favourite package which we are offering at the Vintage Pamperbox is probably our heroes vs villains event. Who doesn't want to dress up as wonder woman?
