Why do they happen? Perhaps you know exactly what I’m talking about, but perhaps not. Sometimes I’ll paint my nails, a miracle will occur and I’ll not smudge a single one of them. I’ll feel very smug about my perfect manicure and then, when I wake up the next morning, bubbles will have formed in… Continue reading Bubbles in nail varnish
Today I’m attending a graduation ball*. It’s my second one. Last time I was graduating with my MSci in Physics and I knew basically the entire graduating class. This year, most of us who picked up MScis last time around are now collecting their PhDs. Seriously, most of them – although several went to other… Continue reading Grad ball outfit plans
Um, you guys? It’s June? Why did no one warn me that the year was going so quickly? How can it be that we’re into month six and I’m still writing 2016 as the date? This seems to happen every year, you’d think I’d get used to it. Anyway, since the year is already running away… Continue reading Favourite products of 2017 so far…
See what I did there? Oh whatever, it was that or eggstravagant. Although, it now occurs to me that we’ve all been missing out on an extra pun level by not being Sean Connery when we talk about Eggsellent Easter stuff. Anyway, moving swiftly on. Originally this was going to be a selection of lovely… Continue reading Five eggsellent Easter nail polish shades
I go through phases of painting my nails. Sometimes I paint them once a week or more, other times I might not even think of the possibility of painting them for six months at a time. Either way, I couldn’t tell you the cause of my behaviour. That said, I think I like it better… Continue reading Product review: Artistic Colour Revolution’s base and top coats
For me, last year’s Glossybox from February had been a little disappointing. It had been Valentine’s Day themed, which I didn’t mind in itself, but for some reason, a decision had been made to send tweezers and a razor in the pack. I don’t know about you, but the removal of hair doesn’t speak to… Continue reading February Glossybox Unboxing (2017)
I recently turned 28. This is much older than my 6-year-old self could ever have imagined but it has happened anyway. Just like my 6-year-old self would have hoped, however, I got spoiled rotten. Quite aside from dinners out and cake and things, I managed to collect one or two lovely little treats. No doubt… Continue reading Birthday treats
Whenever I go home to visit my mother in Leeds I know that there’s going to be some kind of beauty treat in it for me. This time it was wonderful sparkly Christmas shellac nails, including the use of some cool chrome powder. Now, I normally shy away from shellac nails because they’re a pain to take… Continue reading Christmas shellac nails
I was quite excited about the December Glossybox. We’d been given the opportunity to choose a lipstick shade and, given the Christmas season, I felt it was going to be a special box. Probably it would have a pretty design and I expected a party theme. As always seems to be the case these days,… Continue reading Glossybox December unboxing
Whenever I head home to Leeds my wonderful beautician mother tries to get as many treatments done for me as possible. On my recent visit home last month this was a manicure/pedicure with a wonderful shimmery blue polish to match my new blue hair. The blue works not only because it matches the hue of… Continue reading Mani/pedi at home
