Being a nail biter all my life, I've never ever had a manicure. I've had acrylics put on, but thats about it for my nails. Whilst fasting, I stopped biting my nails and they grew without me realising, which was a great way of kicking the habit! My nails still aren't pretty to look at, but I'm adamant to get them there.
So, to the manicure. I had it done at a Nails inc concession in Debenhams, and I was not impressed. We paid £38 each, and all we got was a 20min manicure which was a file, cuticle, 1 minute moisturising cream massage (combined both hands!) and polish. I'm sorry, but if I'm paying that much, I expect a lot more. For a treatment called 'Heavenly Hands', I sure didn't feel heavenly afterwards. I did a little research, and at another salon, £37 would buy me a deluxe manicure including all the above, plus exfoliation, mask and massage.
Anyways, below are some photos of my hand....I went for a natural colour. It was peach based, but came out clear on my nails. Please don't laugh at them!!!
Have you guys ever had a disappointing treatment?? Any tips on how to make my nails and hands look much better?

Random Hair Photos
Just as the title said...Photos of my new hair. Actually, it's nothing different, just shorter and better condition.
I had to crop these as I'm in the lounge and everyone was around me and didn't want to put my whole family online!
The below photo is a weird angle, but I'll put it up anyways...
Overall, I am really happy with the cut. He did a great job. I got it done at Rachel Hammond (Leicester), by Kyle.
I'm also going to do a post about the dye that I use soon. Its called Sanotint, I get it from my threading place, but you can find it here. It's a permanent, natural hair dye which has no ammonia. I really recommend it, it actually leaves my hair in better condition. I haven't dyed my hair in months, so the above hair is probably washed out dye colour. I use No.3, natural brown. I've just bought No.5, Golden Chesnut which I'll hopefully do sometime this week.
Ok, I'm off to eat some chocolate...I've been craving it all day!

Liz Earle Superskin Moisturiser
Hey Guys,
Hope everyone is well.
I just wanted to do a quick update, I bought Liz Earle Superskin Moisturiser yesterday, and have used it today for the first time. I really like how my makeup applies after it, but the smell...Omg it's so bad!! It's meant to be fragrance free, but it has a fragrance...! I'm really bad with smells, I've been known to spray the office with my Charlie Red (cheap, but it smells so nice, and Charlie Pink smells like Amour Amour). Anyways, so any kind of weird/not pleasant smell I can not take. I'm just unsure as to what to do with the cream, do I carry on using it and not putting it around my nose or just stop using it!? I also bought the Superskin Concentrate which smells gorgeous, but it's a night time product...Not that day/night makes a difference to me. So I'm thinking of using a little of that near my nose area and then the cream.
Has anyone else had a problem like this before? What did you do???
Ok, this was such a random post, but the smells been bugging me all day haha!!
Have a great, nice smelling weekend!!

Business For Sale
Ok, totally random post...Nothing to do with beauty AT ALL whatsoever...
Well, my dad wants to sell his business because he now wants to retire. I've been advertising it all over the place, in the hope that someone snaps it up somewhere! It's a Blinds manufacturing and retail business, which is really profitable, and easily relocatable. So, if anyone knows of anyone who wants a business...Please pass on the following link:
http://www.businessesforsale.com/uk/Manufacturer-And-Retailer-Of-Blinds-Business-For-Sale.aspx
OR just contact me for further info.
Thanks,

I can't sleep
I can't sleep, so I thought I would do a random post, full of waffle...Can't imagine anyone wanting to read this!
My hair has started to shed again, so I bought this product from Boots yesterday. It smells really nice, and tingles giving a really cool sensation on the scalp. It's got caffeine in it, which is meant to stop the shedding cycle of your hair...We'll see. I've also ordered another tub of Extreme elasticizer...I'm piling on the good stuff, as I don't want my hair thinning again! I'll do a review on the tonic is a week or so, once I've used it properly. I'm getting my hair chopped tomorrow, but remember I said I was colouring it like Audrina? Well, I decided against it and will do it once my hair stops shedding. I will have Audrina hair...One day!
I went to the hospital today, for my Roaccutane check up. I've been kept on the same dose, and this will be my final 8weeks...Pheew. Although I haven't had half the potential side effects of this drug, in fact at the moment all I'm struggling with is dry lips, I am fed up of being on medication. I know it makes me sound moany, as the drug has improved my skin no-end, but I just don't want to be on it anymore!
I also bought the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair yesterday. I really want a sophisticated anti-ageing product and a lot of people have recommended this. So, I'll try it out, if it doesn't do anything, then I have decided I am going to bite the bullet and pay £100 for Crem de la Mer. I know it's good stuff, but I just can't part with £100 for a cream. Although, with work I get bonus bond vouchers which can be used in Selfridges, so I really don't know what I'm complaining about...! I'll do a review on the Advanced Night Repair in a couple of weeks, once I can see any difference.
I ordered a couple of things from boohoo.com, but I'm going to return them. I liked the bag, so I may keep that, but the dresses both look a bit cheap in real life, so I'll be returning them.
I bought:
*Alexis oversized shopper bag
*Leena Animal and Lace Print Dress
*Kim Floral Sleeved Dress (the stitching on this one was coming apart at the bottom!)
Having said this, I still love boohoo, and all its clothes!
Hhhmm...What else can I waffle on about?! Oh I'm growing my nails! I've always been a nail biter, since I was young. This month, as I've been fasting, and I can only eat from around 8pm-4am in a day, I haven't bitten my nails. I am so proud of myself, and will be having my first ever manicure next week :D I'll of course be taking photos to show my nails off! I'm so excited!
Ok, I think I've waffled enough for 4am....!! I hope I haven't bored anyone to death!
Goodnight all...
