on my nails - Barry M Gelly Nail Paint

WHY is it raining? We had a couple of ridiculously beautiful days but now it seems like I wake up to rain every day. On a recent horribly wet and glum day I found myself in Boots (where else) picking out some bright, happy nail polishes.

I love the gelly nail polish from Barry M - the formula is so easy to apply and the colour payoff is amazing. The gel like finish is perfect, smooth and snhiny. I've been wearing Huckleberry for almost a week and with only minimal chips, nothing to complain about there! These were £3.99 and are often on 3 for 2 - I got three of these for the price of one Essie polish. I do love Essie but sometimes I can't limit myself to one colour and my bank balance is VERY thankful for cheaper alternatives!

I'm thinking Prickly Pear for Easter weekend to add some cheer to my fingertips while stuck at work.

Have a very happy Easter!!

on my nails - Essie Splash of Grenadine

After two 60 hour weeks at work and zero energy for blogging/moving/staying awake past 9pm I have been fully loving the sun this weekend!

Yes, it really feels like SPRING HAS ARRIVED *sounds claxon* and with it is the return of the brighter nails into my life. I like a red or purple over winter but spring and summer bring the ridiculously bright taxi yellow, the flashy corals and any possible shade of pastel anything back to my fingertips.

Here we have Essie's Splash of Grenadine brightening up my fingers and toes and adding a little extra happy to my day.

What colour makes you feel like spring?

Love,

Beccy

on disappointment - Is this the worst product EVER?!

So we all know that feeling. We spend £10 on something and it doesn't quite do exactly what we expected and we feel a bit annoyed we spent £10 on it but give it a good use and are secretly happy when it runs out, right? There's 'wasting money' which is when we buy all the naked palettes at once because we have to have them even though they might not really suit our skin tone *ahem* and then there's actually wasting money. Where we'd have been no better off just shredding a £10 note.

For the first time EVER I have spent money on something that is frankly unusable. Welcome to my diary of disappointment Nip + Fab Bee Sting Eye Fix.

The first dissapointment was the amount of product in the pot. You buy a pot of something and expect it to be at least 3/4 full if not full to the brim. This is how much product you get. 

I would say it is about 1/8 the size of the pot. It's pretty deceptive! Give me a tiny pot and at least I'll know how much to expect but this is ridiculous!

Have I just got a duff one?!

Second disappointment is that this 1/8 of product is super dry. You can see where I've stuck my finger in it and only been able to make a finger mark, not get any out.

You can get... Flakes out. If you stick your nails into it. Which is a bit disgusting. 

And even when you HAVE got some flakes out when you try and rub it onto your under eye or between your fingers it stays as flakes!!!! What is the point?!

I don't even think I can put into words how alarmed I am at the uselessness of this product!

Is it supposed to be in tiny amounts and completely unusable?!

Am I doing something wrong?!

No link to where you can get this from because I don't want to be responsible for genuinely wasting your money.

Stay away!!!
