The Secret Santa Solver: £10 and under

Well hello there, Fairypants fans!

We're back with another Secret Santa Solver for you - let's get straight into it :)

This is our top 3 gift idea breakdown for the Secret Santa recipient who's a vegan, a cruelty-free beauty fan, or both!

#1: The Fairypants Nail Care Gift Set - £10

The ideal gift for the mani fan in your life who already owns every nail varnish colour imaginable - although you can never have too many, amirite? This set includes our ultra-glossy top coat, our ridge-filling, nutrient rich base coat and our super moisturising cuticle oil, which is guaranteed to keep putting the 'cute' in cuticle ;)

#2: Eyeshadow Gift Set - £10

We all know an eyeshadow junkie, and if somehow you don't know an eyeshadow junkie, you definitely know a sparkle junkie.

This gift set hits both nails squarely on the head!

Choose any three of our stunning shimmerfests for just £10 to put a smile on your Secret Santa buddy's face :)

For an extra bonus, this will get you some brownie points with any Shakespeare fan too, as all of our gorgeous shades are named for Shakespeare's leading ladies!

#3: The Lipbalm Gift Set - £10

In this chilly weather, anybody would be grateful for the soothing relief of a beautifully smooth lip balm. In any weather, those same people would struggle not to simply eat our deliciously-scented range of ultra-moisturising lip-lovelies. We know that we struggled!

From 'Mojito' to 'Black Forest Gateau', our lip balms hit a lot of cheeky sweet spots. Three? In one pack? Yes please, ma'am.

What's your favourite Fairypants gift set? Will it be going on your list to Santa this year?

Summer neons, had me a blast...

Now that we're well into September, Summer for 2016 has officially ended. 

Well, we don't know about you, but at Fairypants HQ we're just not ready to say goodbye. What better way to hang onto those fun Summer vibes than by painting them onto our nails?

Anyone who keeps their finger on the pulse of nail art channels on YouTube will know that in the last year or so, 'dry-brushing' has come into its own as the saviour of the not-so-artsy nail fanatics everywhere. You don't need a steady hand, you don't need any fancy products or tools and you don't even need a lot of time. It's also a super easy way to get a French mani with a twist! None of those fiddly straight lines for us!

Choose a nude/pale base coat (we've gone for white), then using your colours of choice, wipe as much product as possible from the brush, and swipe the remainder onto those talons! Swipe vertically, horizontally, diagonally- whatever takes your fancy! This look is so versatile - you could literally use any colours - nudes, brights, glitters - and you're guaranteed an unusual mani that looks like it took a LOT more effort than it did. As our aim is to recapture the Summer, we plumped for the Fairypants Neon Collection on a white base, with a glossy topcoat. A matte topcoat would also look awesome! We've also popped a cheeky bit of a glitter accent on the ring fingernail, but you can work this look any way that takes your fancy!

Is this the most versatile look or what?

Which colours would you choose? If you've recreated this look (or changed it up with new colours), tweet us or tag us on Instagram! We'd love to see what you've come up with!
