new mua cosmetics: MUA Nail Constellation Swatches

Yes I have gone MUA Nail Constellation Mad! So I have some beautiful nail swatches and tips for you when using MUA's Nail Constellations as many of you have been asking me I thought this blog post would be useful for all you MUA Fans.

Nail Constellation Top Tip Application:

1. Start by painting your nails with a MUA Nail varnish ideally matching the chosen nail constellation shade- I suggest you apply one coat let this dry and then make the second coat a thick application.

3. Gently press the beads into the nail and allow them to dry and set in place.

4.Finally a little tip here I want to show you- If you put a clear top coat on the Nail Constellation beads it WILL dull the colour of the beads but will keep them in place for longer, however if you want the colour to remain bright I suggest you cap just the tips of the nails to keep the beads lasting longer but to be honest they won't last on the nails as long.

Here is a picture example of Leo Nail Constellations with a clear top coat application and then another example without a clear top coat.

I don't like waste and I am sure many of you don't so I love this idea! Here is an example of the lid took off...
