JACAVA London: Swatches and Review

JACAVA London: Swatches and Review

Hi everyone, I hope you're all well! Today I have a review of a lovely new brand called Jacava, a UK-based company that specialises in luxury nail polish. Jacava's nail polish 8-free. You may or may not have heard about 3-free polishes (brands such as OPI and Essie don't contain Dibutyl Phthalate, Toluene or Formaldehyde, which are considered toxic) and...

DIY Light Box

DIY Light Box

Morning! I've decided to dedicate a whole post to the DIY light box that I've been going on about for the past few days! I know there a lots of 'how-to's out there, but I thought I should contribute my method, since it's a lot simpler than others. Plus I only used materials that were lying around the house,...

Grab My Button!

Grab My Button!

Wow, two posts in one day... What is wrong with me?! Unfortunately this is not a tutorial, it's just a quick message to let you know that Little Tip Off now has a button. As you can see, it's very small and simple, and will look cute on any kind of blog! Find the code on the bottom right...

Yorkshire Bloggers

Yorkshire Bloggers

Hi guys! This is a just quick post to let you know about Yorkshire Bloggers, which is a site dedicated to promoting all kinds of blogs that are based in Yorkshire. Obviously I'm not living in Yorkshire at the moment (*sob*) but it definitely holds a massive place in my heart, and I really hope to move back eventually!...

Mattifying Mania!

Mattifying Mania!

Good morningggg! This post may cause a few 'Déjà Vu' moments for my readers, because the photos involved have already appeared individually on my Instagram, Tumblr and/or Facebook page. However, I've decided to dedicate a whole post to my new obsession... Essie 'Matte About You'! I had no idea I'd fall this much in love with a top coat,...

Facebook!

Facebook!

Little Tip Off now has a Facebook page! If you're a Facebook user (which you probably are), then check it out here! I'm currently playing catch-up with some of my previous designs, but I'll make sure that I update it regularly along with the blog :)...

Boots Haul!

Boots Haul!

Okay, okay, I know I've been rubbish recently... The past few days have been dedicated to essays, so I've hardly had time to think about my nails. However, since I'm ahead of schedule with my deadlines, I decided to give myself a little break today. It was a lovely coincidence when I checked my bank balance and found I...

Naked Nails... Eeeeek!

Naked Nails... Eeeeek!

Recently I've been on the receiving end of lots of nail related questions, whether it's about how I achieve my designs (this is also answered with LOOK AT MY BLOG!), what brands I use (a variety, but Models Own is a firm favourite), and where I get my stuff from (I always find Amazon, Direct Cosmetics and Nail Polish Direct reliable and extremely purse friendly)....

Cosmo Careers Masterclass!

Cosmo Careers Masterclass!

Last night I attended the Cosmopolitan Careers Masterclass in Manchester. Although I was initially unsure of how beneficial this would be, I am so so so glad I decided to part with £30.00 and secure myself a ticket. The event was so worthwhile; the panel were fantastic, the advice was priceless, and the freebies were also an added bonus!Held...

One Month Old!

One Month Old!

I can't quite believe that Little Tip Off has been up and running for a month... In some ways it feels like it's gone so quickly, however I also feel like I've been blogging forever! I'm so pleased with the response I've received so far, and extremely grateful for all of the positive feedback. I now have 24 lovely...

Just a little something...

Just a little something...

Little Tip Off has had a rejig, and I think this layout is a bit more me! I wanted to keep it nice and simple, but of course I couldn't resist a lovely pinky-purple colour scheme. I also managed to include some cute social media icons, so you can now be directly linked to my Webstagram, Twitter and Tumblr...

e.l.f. Cosmetics Competition Prize!

e.l.f. Cosmetics Competition Prize!

I never intended on involving makeup products/reviews on Little Tip Off, because I always wanted to focus specifically on nail art. However, after winning the e.l.f. Cosmetics Easter/Spring inspired nails & make-up competition, I have received my lovely prize and I just can't resist.I had to drive to the Royal Mail Delivery Office to get my parcel, since the...
