NOTD - Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure







This is a tribute to the (hopefully) warmer weather we will be experiencing soon. Im sure like me many of you have begun to swap the darker winter colours for lighter shades in the hope to hurry up spring!
I got this as a set of four from TK Maxx (you can see my Youtube haul here) and couldn't wait to try this out as it reminded me of a mermaids scales, its got that iridescent sheen to it.

This lasted 4 days before it chipped - however the chippage was small and because this is a really sheer colour you couldn't actually tell - perfect for someone who doesn't have time to be constantly touching up their nails!

My only gripe with this is sometimes these pearly iridescent shades can look a bit 'grannyish' however i think thats completely down to personal preference - i mean Barry M have just launched an entire range of this type of finish (the silk range) so maybe this is a trend to come?

NOTD - Primark Nail Foils


When i saw these in Primark i just couldnt resist, and the fact they were a £1 just made them all the more appealing - i mean i really had nothing to lose did i ?









They were the easiest things ever to put on, you simple find one that fits your nail, stick it on and file the excess off. Simples. They look amazing, and everywhere i went people were complimenting them!
The only problem is they chip SO easily. These lasted 2 days maximum before i had to take them off. To test things out when i applied them, i put a top coat on one hand, but it really made no difference.
Overall, i will definitely repurchase these, however ill only put them on for a particular event, as they don't really last making it pointless to put them on for the average day. I really recommend these, but id get there quick, they're never in stock for long!
