September Favourites

Hello there;

End of the month means only one thing. What have I loved this month! 

With me being off for two weeks, I finally get to play about with my stash a little more. So I have a couple more favourites than usual this month. Enjoy! 

Nail Magic*

Hello there;

Now I am not one to talk about nail products on here. But one of my biggest pet peeves in my life is how much my nails snap. My job is very harsh on my hands. I work in chillers so I am constantly fighting a battle with dry hands. And the gloves (that I usually forget to put on) means my nails get a real battering. So when I was given the opportunity to try a nail strengthener, I was all over it. 

BirchBox - Great Outdoors

Hello there;

I am aware I am a little late this month with my BirchBox review, but mine was delayed for some reason. BUT it is here, safe, dry and oh my god the best box ever.

Katie Nails #4

Hello there;

It is that time of the month, when my dear friend Katie comes and works her magic on my fingernails. I let her have total free reign this time. But I must say, I think they are my most favourite nails to date! 

Sadly due to lighting issues and well just basically to busy pissing about I didn't get as many photos as I wanted. But at least I took some yeah?! 

Katie Nails #3

Hello there;

Similar to my blog, I gave my nails a break from gel over December, knowing that I would probably ruin whatever Katie did for me. But with the Brown's wedding fast approaching I knew they needed doing!

All I said to Katie was "I need them a oxblood red". Whatever she did after that was down to her. 

Why oxblood I hear you ask? That was the colour of my dress I was wearing to the wedding and I wanted to match it.

Once Katie had sorted my nails back to normal shape and standard the mixing began.

As you can see it took a few attempts to get the perfect colour. It took 3 colours mixed together to makes the colour Katie thought was acceptable. 

GlossyBox November "Wishlist"

Hello there;

Look what appeared on my doorstep this week. My GlossyBox. Shall we divulge into it and see what surprises await us? Oh okay then!

May I just quickly say, how impressed I am that everything in here apart from the Vichy is full size. What a rare treat that is! 

Katie Nails #2

Hello there;

I can't believe how well my last post on my nails went, people from all over the world viewed it. So thank you to you, if you read it!

It's already been 3 weeks since I had them done and boy was they ready for doing again. I had completely lost a little finger nail and half of my thumb nail. But other than that, they stayed pretty well. I had LOADS of compliments on them, so well done Katie for you excellent work.

Now the idea of Katie doing my nails is so she can play and try new ideas. We knew we wanted sparkles on this attempt. Glitter and more glitter. Katie already had an idea in her head, I just needed to pick my colours.

Katie Nails #1

Hello there;

If you have read my Pro Beauty North post, you will know that I have a lovely beautician friend called Katie. When we was at Pro Beauty, she went a tiny little bit gel nail polish mad in Harmony Gelish; and brought A LOT of new colours. But this is good news for me. Katie popped round and did my nails and I only had to pay her in lasagne and apple crumble. Good trade if I do say so myself. 

Getting set up.

Pro Beauty North.

Hello there;

On Sunday the 13th October, I got invited by my dear friend Katie, to go to Professional Beauty North in Manchester with herself and Cham (another friend of mine). Nowwwwww, I was a little naughty to get into this, as you have to be in the beauty trade. And other than this blog, I am not. So we told a little white lie and made out I was in the trade, hehe.

Luckily for us Manchester is only 90 mins away, it was pretty straight forward getting there. As soon as we parked up it was straight to Subway. Gotta have your priorities right, tummy first. Then we proceeded up to the G-Mex. 

Rimmel 60 Seconds Nail Polish

Hello there; 

After work today I went up to the make-up section (always a bad idea for me) and came across this little bad boy for just £2.70 BARGAIN!

Rimmel's 60 Seconds nail polish in 503 Mind The Gap, Victoria. 

Such a pretty bluey purple colour. I am really loving the pastel nail polish colours at the moment. 

Sadly, I had to do 3 coats of this to get an even finish. The first coat was so wishy washy, it looked horrible. So gappy. I can never understand why they don't make nail polishes thick enough so one coat is just enough...... COME ON  GUYS SORT IT OUT!

Luckily it does what it says on the tin and dries really quickly, so I wasn't wait around for ages scared to touch stuff while my nails dried. Which pleased me. 

Even with all that negativity up there, I would recommend this to anyone as its a great colour and in the end, my nails do look rather pretty >.<

Do you guys recommend any of the other colours?! 

Let me know! 

Sian
