Barry M Hi-Shine Gelly Nail Paint in Papaya

Isn't this colour gorgeous?! I resisted these Gelly polishes for a while. Having swatches them in store I wasn't impressed with their drying time even with just one coat but couple a 3 for 2 offer with the need to own every coral ever and I caved. Who could blame me? 


Minimal tip wear on my lesser used digits since Thursday (today being Tuesday) although I did have to redo my index finger yesterday. 
I'm still not impressed with the drying time or the stability once dried but some good ole Seche Vite fixed that and these have lasted fairly well! Maybe Seche has just spoiled me... Ah well I'm sure I'll live!

    My problem with these polishes is that they aren't really Jelly's :( super pretty colour though!

      I think the key here is the G. The way I take it they're not traditional Jelly formulas that look like actual Jelly. Instead they're trying to buy into the Gellish trend (long wear & high shine) whilst sticking with traditional cream colours which is their speciality. Unfortunately they don't pull off anything near the quality & stability of Gellish and we've just ended up with slightly shinier versions of existing polishes.

Le mini macaron gel manicure kit review

By
Can we talk about how long it's been since I've done a nail post? Too long. Far too long! Well wait no more because I have the cutest little product to show you! I picked Le mini macaron in Sephora. It was clearly over priced at around €30 but completely irresistible to my gel obsessed self (hey, it's sort of my job so I have an excuse) especially in my Sephora daze where I went into shove-everything-in-the-basket mode.  No regrets.  The kit comes in 4 colours, I chose peach because I love saying le péché in French and I LOVE the colour peach. It's the cutest little kit that comes with a usb cable, a little nail file and a cuticle pusher as well as some remover wipes and a European plug. The latter two remain completely unused.  In Sephora itself you can buy stand alone polishes in a huge assortment of colours but to be honest, I wouldn't buy these polishes again. Single step UV polishes (no base or top coat needed) sound great but there is

Finding the prefect dress and then finding the perfectly affordable version

By
We've all done it. Found THE perfect dress and then looked at the price. we then spend hours, even days, going over our inner monologue: "Is it worth it?", "Can I justify that amount of money?" and "Would I wear I wear it again? Oh I'm sure something will come up". The answer is always Yes, No and probably not. Thus making the torture pointless for me as I will always end up taking the sensible option and putting my debit card back in its hole.  This was the story of my brief affair with the Eliza J - Lace Detail 3/4 sleeve ruched detail dress. From its discovery on the House Of Fraser website late last night to chatting about my love for it early this morning with the lovely Debbae from the HOF twitter account to trying it on in store this afternoon with the sales lady oohing and cooing. It was a whirlwind romance but at just over £100 it couldn't last.  And so I took to the bargain hunters paradise: EBAY . Below I've pictured 6 options
