Gelish Nails.... Get em!!!
Gelish Nails......
As an avid nail biter my nails have sadly taking a turn for the worse over the past year or so and have started splitting and looking in a more sorry state than usual. Very sad times! So when a good friend of mine suggested I try gelish (the same friend who had just trained to apply such a thing, what are the chances!) I though what have i got to lose! I was promised that it would last for at least 2 weeks and would help strengthen my nails and help them to grow.
To add to my tale let me explain that i have tried all sorts of nail 'saviours' over the years originally to prevent me from biting (that chili nail varnish... I hate to admit it but i like the taste!) to all sorts of acrylics and false nails. All leaving me with a worse state of talon's that I began with. So with a little apprehension I sat down in my lovely friend Alison's house ready to see what would happen, the future of my nails at her mercy.
The Results were fab!!! I went for a coral colour, although a lot brighter and slightly more orange than I had anticipated, the colour was great. As for the strength, these nails stayed put for 3 weeks and instead of the usual frustration from nails snapping off or cracking all I had was some pleasantly unexpected regrowth. Happy Days! Would definitely recommend to any lovelies who have issues when it comes to growing their nails or even hate reapplying colour every few days due to chipping...definitely worth every penny!

Topshop Make Up
Topshop Make-Up
I LOVE IT! ok let me take a breathe and rephrase that. I LOVE IT! What can I say? I was a bit wary when I heard last year they were venturing into make-up. Awsome fashion chain, could they pull this off? Well ladies and gentlemen i have been converted!
My faves being their line of nail varnishes - they just dont chip! I am the queen of chipping my nails within hours of having that mani, but this stuff doesnt budge! Its nice to apply, paints on smoothly and stays put for ages and comes in tons of fabulous colours, my picks being Nails in Amethyst, Nails in Helter Skelter and Nails in Blue Monday.
Whilst I am singing and dancing i can't miss out on telling you about my all time best find from Topshops Make-Up collection and thats their 'All about Me' Lipstick in an Amazing Fuschia Pink. I sadly have been blessed with a set of skinny lips that without a good lipsick or gloss just dont stand out. I only get good compliments when i have this shade on. Amaze-Balls!!
