How I repaint my acrylic nails...

Tis the season to turn absolutely everything festive right?

Thats including my nails... 

I had fresh acrylics put on two weeks ago, but i fancied a change, as i had a really deep purple polish put on

that mostly looked black. Comparable to Essie Luxedo.

I fancied something FESTIVE. What says christmas spirit like red and gold polish?

So i started off with this...

I then use this Sally Hansen, acetone free polish remover. Its very important you use a acetone free polish remover on false nails, as it wont ruin the acrylic which is on the nail.

I then soak a cotton wool pad in the remover and then hold it over the nail for a few seconds then swipe away. I do this 2-4 times until all the polish is off. This time i had to do it a few times as 

the polish that was on the nail was very dark.

You should then be left with something that looks a little like this...

My hand looks so chubby in this photo... 

I then just choose my nail polish and paint... today i decided to go for something festive. 

The red is a polish by Loreal - 401 ROUGE PIN UP, It is a gorgeous bright red. Very festive indeed. :)

The gold is actually one i received in a magazine, i dont normally even try these out but i actually really like 

this shade, its a KATE SPADE by NAILS INC in the shade , UPTOWN GLAMOUR.

For a top coat i just used Essie NO CHIPS AHEAD. 

I really like these polishes. I think it looks very festive!

Just remember to do a couple of coats, and leave plenty of drying time. :)
