RAVE NANA NAILS

As you all know by now at show time we like to do a nail. 
Nails are a big part of the story so we thought we'd show you how to do your very own Rave Nana Nails, with the help of Sophy Robson.....
What you will need: 
1x White/Orange Nail Varnish.
1x Yellow Striper Brush.
1x Red Brown Nail Varnish.
1x Darkest Brown Striper Brush.
1x Clear Top Coat Nail Varnish. 


Step One: 
On a nail base paint fairly large connecting blobs using the white/orange nail varnish.


 Step 2: 
Using a yellow striper brush go over the original blobs leaving an outline of white. 

Step 3: 
Using the red brown, create small blobs within the white and yellow shapes. Use finger tip to very lightly diffuse and create a speckled effect.


Make little dots so most of the nail is covered.

Step 4: 
Finish using darkest brown and striper to make darker rounded blobs on top of reddish brown.


A quick top coat and you're finished!!

Send your tortoise nails to emily@houseofholland.co.uk for a chance to win a tortoise iPhone case!!


May the best nails win!!

Boots Road Test Pt.1



A hot topic at HoH HQ, nails!! (Henry's obsessed)
Today we're road testing Henry's Banging Nails Kit and asking the questions everyone wants to know!! 


 
 Emily went for a classic red. 
 
What was the brush like? Good brush, nice even spread. 
How did the colour go on? Really well, watery but in a good way, not transparent, slick! 
How many coats did you need? I did two just to be sure. One would be fine and it dries really quick. Good for on the go nails!!

Score out of 10: 9 (no, really, it was that good)

Anna chose the Green. 

What did you most like about the nail polish? The iridescent finish  (on trend!!)
Did you like the packaging? Love the House shape and the lid unscrews dead easy, that's important, right?
Best thing about this nail varnish? It's festiveness! Christmas is coming!!

Score out of 10: 10!! Maj!!

Danielle had no choice but to go for the purple. She was game though. 

How do you feel the colour went on? I have no time or patience, it went on well and was dry in no time. Perfect!! 
What do you think about the colour? Its HOUSE OF HOLLAND PURPLE. What's not to love. 
Would you buy it? Course!! Perfect Christmas pressie as well! AND you get a pretty good nail file, buffer and polisher!!

Score out of 10? 8.7 (purely because I wanted to wear the red)

So there we have it. The girls in the office are raving about the Banging Nails Kit.

We popped down to Boots and took some snaps of the beauty sets in all their glory...

What's in The Box I hear you cry? Well... there's a mini spritz and souffle set for your hair and a mini body wash and scrub with a lovely lilac loufer. Ohhh, we don't half spoil you!



Here's one of our personal favourites - The Hair Stare Kit!


This is a bloomin' brilliant bag in fact as inside you'll find full sized scrub, souffle, spritz and body wash all scented with melon, mandarin, grapefruit and jasmine! Delicious!


So there you have it! Everything you need to pamper yourself in true House of Holland style! And, the perfect Christmas present might we add.
