BLOG SALE!

So I decided to go ahead and do a blog sale! Read on if you'd like to purchase some pretty nail polish!
 You all know I'm a bit of a nail varnish junkie (I dread to think how many I've accumulated... I daren't count!) but I have some that I never wear and have only worn once, so these 5 little beauties are looking for new homes:
 Barry M Instant Nail Effects 10ml in blue 315 - £2.50 - used once.
 Nails Inc 10ml Elizabeth Street - £2.00 - used once.
 Barry M 10ml Red Glitter 150 - £2.00 - used once.
Sleek 10ml Bare 35 - £2.00 - used once.
 O.P.I. 15ml Nail Envy Dry & Brittle Nails - £4.00 - used several times (see photo above showing usage).

All the polishes above are available to purchase through Paypal, just click through below. Postage is flat rate £1.00 but I will only ship to UK addresses so please don't buy unless you're located in the UK. Provide your postal address during checkout or I won't know who to post to!



Pick one




This is my first blog sale and I'm starting small and simple. If it goes well I will consider selling more polishes and shipping internationally, but for now I'm sticking to UK only.
Thank you!

Hard as Nails

I've recently bought some interesting nail products that I'm excited to share with you!
First up is the INFAMOUS O.P.I. Nail Envy. I bought the one for dry & brittle nails from Boots as it was reduced to ~£13. A bit expensive but I had high hopes that it would transform my usually crappy horrible and short nails into longer, stronger and more elegant ones. I use it underneath my nail colours as a base coat, after I followed the instructions that came with the product and used it for one week intensively on its own. I have to say, it has made a significant difference and my colours chip much less often and my nails are stronger & marginally longer. However Nail Envy hasn't turned out to be the miracle cure I'd been hoping for, and so my quest for perfect nails continues..
Next is Nail Inc's Westminster Matte Effect Top Coat. I have been SO jealous of all the beauty bloggers who've been lucky enough to have matte effect nails recently, and I caved in and bought this from Debenhams on offer for £10.80 a couple of weeks ago. It sat in my fridge unused for a while until I could finally be bothered to give it a try! I'm very glad I did!
 
The matte effect is really difficult to show on camera, hence taking two different photos to try and demonstrate the effect. Overall I'm really impressed with this product, you simply paint it on over your usual colour instead of a topcoat and it mattifies the colour and dries ridiculously quickly, to give a unique nail effect. I love the matte finish but I do think it only looks good with certain colours. I don't mind having spent so much on this top coat as it is something a little bit special and most importantly - it works! Recommended without a shadow of a doubt, it also makes my nails chip less and the colour lasts longer overall.
