Nails Inc Sale

Normally, when my nails are a nice length, I get my nails done at the salon. But currently, my nails aren't in great condition and won't seem to grow!! Grr. I think this has been since I've been back at work, they have been prone to breakage. (a sign I have been working hard 8 guess ;) )


I've recently been using a nail hardener (Patons Nail Hardener, £1.79, Bodycare) and painting my nails myself while waiting for them to reach a nice length.


I've been off work sick these past 2 days, and inbetween sleep and daytime tv I came across a link on Twitter directing me to the Nails Inc Sale. I really like the quality of Nails Inc polishes and have been using them on my nails a lot recently, but they can be quite pricey at approximately £12.50 a bottle, so I thought I'd check out the sale and see what they had to offer.




I managed to bag myself the 'Ice Cream Collection' 4 scrumptious shades; Spring Mews (Id describe this as a creamy, lime colour), Devonshire Row (a yummy purple), Maple Street (a coral-pink) & Strawberry Hill (a cerise pink). Worth £40. I got it for a tenner. Also got a pastel collection but I can't remember the exact name of the collection or shades and it's no longer available in the sale. There's a nice lilac, baby pink, blue & pale green. Again, worth £40. In the sale for £10. Bargain! They are also offering Next Day delivery for the price of normal delivery.

Ice Cream Collection


So, I got £80's worth of nail polish for £20 and delivered the very next day. This cheered a very poorly girl up! So go check out the Nails Inc 60% off sale before it finishes on Sunday!

Nails of the Month

Okay so time to show off my August nails!! :)
This week was time for my monthly manicure and I treated myself to a pedicure too! Well its 'meant' to be summer after all right? :)

I wanted a nice bright, summery colour and after seeing the new hot pink cover on my iphone, my nail technician suggested I match it! So I went with a plain hot pink colour. I had my nails cut down quite short as one of my nails had broke, booo! :(

August Nails - Hot Pink gel overlays

Since it is flip flop weather, I treated myself to a pedicure too. Was so nice to have my feet pampered! :) I had a spa pedicure.. a soak, scrub, moisturise, massage, cuticle clean up and toe nails painted.. bliss!

In the salon

We tried to match the pink gel with a similar pink colour on my toes and finished off with some pretty diamantes. What do you think?? (apologies for the picture quality, were taken on my iphone)


Sooo, suggestions for next months colours? :)

I love Gel Overlays!!

Us women love having pretty nails right? I love painting my nails and you'll hardly ever see me without painted finger or toe nails!

Gel overlays are my fave at the mo. With busy lifestyles, work and running around after kids.. nail polish doesnt last long, it soon chips no matter how good the top coat! :) So gel overlays are perfect!
For those gel polish virgins.. a gel polish lays over your natural nails, so no 'fake' feeling, it is a strong polish that promotes natural growth and best of all wont chip! It lasts approx 3-4 weeks, depending on what product is used and how quick your regrowth is. And costs vary depending on where you go. My salon charge £25, yet Ive had them done at Nails Inc a few times who charged approx £40.

My July nails

I think theyre perfect for us women with busy lifestyles! Pretty nails that wont chip! And we all deserve a bit of pampering!!

I have mine done once a month. Now and then I'll get acrylics for a nice change, but usually, especially during term time (while Im at work) gels are better suited! Theres nothing better than a nice pampering!! I feel a regular Nail of the Month coming up!! :)

Show us your gel polished nails!!
