Beauty: Gel Nail Fix

On my journey to DIY beauty one key area that I plan to focus on is my nails. Previously an acrylic addict this is going to be hard for me. My biggest issue is that my nails are fairly thin and weak, so I need to take more care of them.

When back in the UK I ordered all the parts I needed in order to be able to do my own gel nails and so far I’m a convert! Its fairly quick (maybe an hour to remove a set and do a new set) which is about how long you have to leave paint to dry and it looks much nicer and lasts longer (win win).

I also really love that because it’s a home you can fix a nail as and when you need. So I had a thumb nail peel off (my own fault – newbie to this) and I could fix this in about 5 minutes which was so amazing.

Before – missing polish
After – all fixed

The look is a lot more subtle but I’m liking it – way easier for typing, riding, cleaning etc! What do you guys do with your nails?

Review: Bicester Village

Shopaholic? ME? Never….

I mean, I do love clothes, bags, shoes… oh okay maybe I am a little shopping addicted.

Bicester Village is a designer lovers candy land. With big names such as Valentino, Gucci, Chloe and Prada just to name a few, all at discounted prices – what is there not to love?

Where I am back and forth from the UK and Barbados, I tent to do the vast majority of my shopping in 2 weeks every few months so I end up having a serious splurge. Not going to lie, its crazy fun! Bicester Village was a big old shopping day!
