Primark False Nails.. Yes or No?



Well hello there gorgeous chums! So there I was browsing the shelves of good ol' Primark, all the while biting my nails. You see unless my nails are all filed and polished I can not help myself but grab that loose section and bite if off! Sounds gross I know! Anyhoo I came across their huge range of false nails and thought for £1 you can't really go wrong.  Off I popped to the till with my pound coin feeling very pleased with myself.

I got home and the first thing I did was buff and file my own nails making sure I had a flat service to attach the false nails to. Then I got going finding the right sizes to fit my nails.  And let me tell you there were a couple of nails in that pack that literally would have only fitted my big toe.. huge! Don't think I will be using those. Then there were a couple of tiny ones which were way too small for my pinky. The other 20 were all pretty normal sizes which I will be able to use, so it looks like I will get 2 sets of nails for £1, amazing!

The set also comes with glue, result! I went to work attaching the nails and pressing them very firmly on to my nails making sure there were no air bubbles (air bubbles = less secure fitting), gave them a little file and Voila! Beautiful nails.
 

I am OVER THE MOON with these beauties so its a huge YES, I will deffinitely repurchase! Other french manicure false nails cost from £5-£10 and they really are no better than these beauties!

Have a fabulous weekend! I am off to pick out some more falsies from Primark, whoop!

UPDATE** These looked lovely for about 2 days then started to split at the tips. I removed them after about 4 days. Still great for £1 but I would say more suitable for an event not long term xx

Have you tried the Primark False nails, can you recommend any better?

Pre Christmas Primark Haul


With a bit of time to spare in town I popped in to Primark.  At this time of year you are lucky to catch a quiet time in there, it can get pretty crazy!  I was in desperate need of some easy to wear autumn/winter jumpers so I decided to take the risk...

and it was well worth it, I picked up some fabulous bargains. I mean who can say no to a jumper for £5?

HAUL POST | Primark & Real Techniques Whoop!




Another day, another little haul! If you saw my last haul post you will have seen that I am a little bit obsessed with Primark at the moment. They really have some great stuff. From stick on false nails to jewellery and really cute t-shirts.

This time I had to return a couple t-shirts that I bought in totally the wrong size. So I had £6.50 to spend. I tried on a load of tops and the one I liked best was this red tank top. Super comfy and at £4 a total bargain. So £2.50 left to spend. I really needed some cotton pads so picked these up for £1 and I loved this neon bracelet set. Perfect for summer and at £1.50 you can't really do wrong!!

Off to Superdrug I went to 'have a browse' or so I told myself. I knew that they were doing the buy 1 get 1 half price and really wanted the Real Techniques brushes but last time I went they didn't have any of the variations I wanted so I was delighted to see that they had restocked the shelves this time! 

The Real Techniques Stippling brush was 1st on my list at £10.99, I was then deciding between an eyeshadow brush and the face brush (which didn't have a buy 1 get 2nd half price sticker on it) however I took it to the till and asked them to double check. Low and behold it was included in the offer whoop! So I got that one too £8.99 reduced to £4.50. Delighted!!

So my beauties that is it for now...

Have you taken advantage of the Superdrug offer yet?

OUTFIT POST Totally in Love with Fringing


OK lovelies, this is my very first 'proper' outfit of the day. I know I have done a few before but the pictures I used weren't actually intended to be for a blog post. But this one I was brave enough to have pictures taken of myself especially. For the past little while I haven't really wanted to take pics of myself. So I hope you all like it.



The Jacket
TK Maxx £30
This is a lovery faux leather, or pleather, jacket that I got quite recently. I love the fringing on it which you can't see too much of in the pictures but it is really great. I think the staple of a wardrobe should be a black leather jacket, it really goes with anything.

The Jumper
£200 American Retro
I got this jumper just before Xmas as it is so cosy. The fringing drew me to it as I think it is a bit different. I am not sure if you can see but there is a navaho type pattern woven in to the front. The fringing also goes down the side of the jumper from under the arm, it is so preeetty!
The Jeans
£210 Current Elliott
These beauts I have blogged about before here. I love them like lollipops. They are super comfy and stretchy and are also really long. I think the colour will be wearable right through spring and summer with a white tee.. Yip!

The Shoes
£20 Primark
I love a good trainer wedge. I have a few pairs from the wonderland that is Primark. These beauts are faux suede but I think they look pretty snazzy. The best thing about them is they are super duper comfy, hooraay for Primani!

The Bag
£850 Louis Vuitton
Ahhh my faithful Denim Louie Neo. No doubt you will see a lot of this bag as I wear it all the time. I already featured it here in a previous outfit post. I love it because you can literally wear it anywhere with anything. I have had it for quite a few years now and it still looks like new.

Well that is it gorgeous people of the interweb. 

What did you think of my OUTFIT POST?

Lots of love and snuggles.

My Totally Guilty Pleasures!


Guilty pleasure

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A guilty pleasure is something one enjoys and considers pleasurable despite feeling guilt for enjoying it. The "guilt" involved is sometimes simply fear of others discovering one's lowbrow or otherwise embarrassing tastes, such as campy styles of entertainment. Fashion, video games, music,[1] films,[2] and junk food can be examples of guilty pleasures.[3

So *gulp* here are mine. 

Starting with...

1. ONE DIRECTION

Yes that's right. The cheesy (but cute) boy band discovered on the X factor and now taking over the world. I defy any girl to not fall a little bit in love with Niall, Zain, Harry, Liam and Louis after watching this video. Oh gosh I even know all of their names.  

I have sat and watched their 'funniest moments' on youtube and downloaded their album. In fact I am listening to it while I write this. And one more thing, I will be going to see them on their UK tour!!

A One Direction fan and proud!!

2. PRIMARK

So you know that "fabulous top" I was wearing that I told you I couldn't remember where it was from because it was last season? Well It was actually £4 from Primark. And those amazing studded trainers I have? Also from Primark. And they are the most comfortable wearable footwear I have ever owned.


My Fabulous Studded Primark Trainers :-)

So thank you Primark for giving me the smuggest smile when the Sloan with the £4,000 Birkin bag would rather have my £4 top from you than a £75 Zoe Karssen :-)


3. BRITISH AIRWAYS GOLD CARD

What could possible be bad about this? Entry in to the 1st class lounge, que jumping at the airport...

If only it wasn't Expired!!! Thats right I keep an expired Gold BA card in my wallet. And the fact it is expired doesn't stop me from using it for the above mentioned (amongst other things) but its not my fault I just can't part with it. So what if I deserted BA for Virgin Airlines, It is gold and shiny and makes me feel fabulous!!!! :-)


So ladies I would love to hear your guilty Pleasures. Do you steal all the toiletries in hotels you can get your hands on, do you secretly go dress shopping and hide it in the cupboard from your boyf to bring out and declare "oh look at this old thing", or do you rent your handbags and tell your snobby friend they are yours?


What are your guilty pleasures?
