Beauty Uk No.3 Snow Leopard Nail Art wraps

Perfect party nails.

I recently reviewed the Beauty Uk Strawberries and Cream nail wraps here and they looked super effective and pretty. I also chose the wraps in *Snow Leopard as I love the neutral colours with the pop of the jewel effect and also they remind me of the magical world of Narnia. 

The nail wraps are available in 21 different styles which I'm sure will suit a variety of tastes. I have my eye on She Leopard too as they are gorgeous and very similar to Snow Leopard but with an added touch of my favourite colour pink. The nail wraps are available to buy for £3.99. Either directly from Beauty Uk or Superdrug, Internacionale and Select.

The wraps are amazing to use for parties as they add an extra touch of glamour and glitz. I found these ones easy to use and whilst nail wraps have a little creasing at times, the nail file which is provided with this pack can be used to smooth down the wrap. (Using the smooth edge.)

I will be wearing these particular wraps for a Christmas party in a few weeks time so today I am showing you the little beauties close up and before application.

Beautyuk Strawberries and Cream nail wraps

How adorable are these Strawberries and Cream nail wraps* from BeautyUk ?

I was drawn to them straight away because they are pink for a start and have cute strawberries and polka dots on them. I feel the need to go for afternoon tea in these. Another design from the collection grabbed my attention too and I will blog about these in another post.

Whenever I have worn nail wraps in the past, I have always received compliments. As I discovered that nail art techniques are incredibly tricky and that I'm not talented at adding designs onto nails, these are a perfect alternative. I tend to wear them for a special occasion and in the past I've saved them for Leeds festival and the EMA'S. However sometimes these little beauties need glorifying for everyday life too. They instantly make you feel 'done up' and add that little bit of sunshine to your day.

There are 21 different design available and they retail for £3.99 each. You can buy them here. They have a variety of designs which I'm sure will suit a lot of different styles.

The Beautyuk Nail Wrap packaging.

 I like how the nail wraps come with 20 pieces so that you can find a fit perfect for your nail shape and also I usually get two wears out of them.

Handy instructions on the back of the packet.

Close-up of design.

The contents with a cute nail file included.

I stretched all the nail wraps over my fingernails at once.

The finished result :)

 Packaging:
Easy to store slim-line packaging with a large window so that you can see the product clearly.
The Beautyuk logo is displayed clearly at the top.
Easy to follow instructions are included on the back which is a great idea.
The nail wraps are stuck on clear plastic and are easy to take off to apply to your nails.
I love how they include a little pink nail file as this is a nice touch.

Price:
£3.99 Which I think for the quality these are a good price. I've tried cheaper ones in the past and they can be too thin and tear.

Performance:
The nail wraps are easy to take off the plastic they are on and apply to your nails. One one of mine I popped it on a little unevenly and it was easy to take off and reapply.
You are recommended to firmly stretch the nail wraps over your nail and this is to ensure that they will have a secure fit and also to try and eliminate any creases you may get.
As I had a lot of product hanging over the edge of my natural nails I found it easier to trim with nail scissors first to the shape of my nail. I put my palm face up so that I could get very close to my nail shape. Then the little file was used slightly to get a close- fitting shape. I also used the back of the file to smooth down my nail wraps further to achieve a streamlined fit.
To remove the wraps, you simply peel off.

Overall I'm super happy with these wraps. They are adorable, pretty and brighten an outfit.

Have you tried these nail wraps before? How do you find the application process?

Inside my AX Paris goody bag !

I got invited to the AX Paris party and I would have loved to have gone but I live around 8 hours away! I love their pretty dresses so much and own some in my wardrobe :)

On etailPR FB page they were running a competition to win 1 of 10 goody bags from the event and I was so excited to receive an e-mail letting me know that I had won one.

The parcel arrived this morning and here are photographs of what I received and my first initial thoughts of each product <3

Thankyou so much to etailPR and AX Paris I need to buy a dress from you for the party season :)

Canvas shopper with AX Paris logo.

 All of the items came inside this re-usable shopper with AX Paris' logo on. It was exciting to find out what was contained inside.

Branded goodies.

 I saw the yummy branded biscuits and will share these later on with my other half when he finishes work ! Yum- a nice touch! I like how they are tied with the cute pink string and wrapped. They look too pretty to eat!

All of contents included.

 I emptied all of the items out and saw all of this <3 It's like receiving Christmas presents. So lucky !

Zoeva makeup brush.

I've not heard of this brand before and I don't own too many make up brushes. I took this out of the posh packaging and oh my!!!! The brush is super soft and lush. I absolutely love it. I could just sit there stroking it haha!

Mousse and skin care.

 Pleased to receive some mousse spray as this will be great on my wavy hair. I've not tried this before but I love the hot pink packaging.
I'd not seen this cream before but can't wait to try it out as it has Argan oil in it.

Teapigs superfruit, Neal & Wolf, Collection eyeliner, Dr. Lipp cream

 I love Neil & Wolf they used to have all the products at my last hairdressers. They smell gorgeous and have great results so my face lit up when I received these sachets of shampoo and conditioner. I will have lush smelling hair!
I like how the Teapigs is full of superberries . I will try this but whenever I see hot fruit drink they remind me of Lemsips and I cannot drink them for the life of me! I can taste the paracetamol and they are just yuk! They make me feel worse. However this will make me feel better!
I already have two samples of Dr.Lipp from my beauty box subscriptions but another one will be handy.
The Collection fast stroke eyeliner will come in very handy for parties. I love to wear liquid eye liner for nights out. I don't tend to wear it for everyday use but it looks super-glam when I dress up- which I love to do.

Gem rock and infinity ring

 Love , love , love <3 I've not heard of Kukee before but I certainly have now. I need to check out some more of their items as I love these.
I love crystals and gems sooooooo much and I haven't taken this ring off yet. It's super sparkly and gorgeous <3
I also love the infinity ring- it reminds me a little of the tv series Revenge which is also amazing (although they have double infinity) This would be a fab gift for Valentine's Day to show everlasting love <3

Kukee rings

Scratch nail wraps, Barry M matte nail polish and Kolor cubes nail polish.

Looooove nail wraps. I've got lots to try out waiting already! I've not heard of scratch before but I am impressed with the geometric designs of these. I'm usually a Barbie girl but I have tendencies to change up my style frequently. I love how effective these are going to look.
Can't wait to try this Barry M Matte nail polish! I love a bit of Barry :) Even though this is not a colour I would choose myself I really really like it!
I've not heard of Kolor Kubes before but I like the chunky cube bottle and the colour will be great for the festive season.

Yay! Love my goodies so much !

Thanks to etailPR, AX Paris and the sponsors and people who put these goody bags together.
