Review - Primark False Nails

Ok I'll confess, my nail painting skills are not the best and I would never attempt any sort of nail art as I don't have a steady enough hand. So to get instantly pretty nails I use falsies.

Primark false nails are an absolute bargain at £1 and they come in a range of designs - from Aztec patterns, animal designs to French manicure nails. Most recently,I picked up these neutral nude coloured nails.

The pack includes 24 nails in a range of sizes and I find that for me I don't have to file the false nails down as they are already a good shape. I find the nails are reasonably strong but in the past I have had one packet with nails which split quite easily, which I was quite surprised at as I don't find that this is usually a problem.

I usually use the Broadway Jet Dry nail glue to apply the nails, as that has always been my nail glue of choice, it is very long lasting. However, I recently used the Primark nail glue (that comes included in the pack) and my nails stayed in tact for a whole week! I do find that the Primark nail glue can be very hit and miss though. The designs on the nails last around 3-4 days without fading.

Apologies for the quality of the photograph (it was taken in poor light on my iPhone) but I wanted to show you all how the nails look once applied.

I have repurchased these false nails countless times and I will continue to do so. They come in such a wide range of pretty designs and are a great product for such a bargain price.

Have you tried the Primark false nails or anything from the Primark beauty range? Feel free to let me (and others) know in the comments below.

Beauty: Uses For Coconut Oil

Hi lovelies,

I'm sure that lots of you will already be aware that coconut oil is an amazing multi-use beauty product, but just in case you weren't or you want to know the ways I use coconut oil I've put a little post together for you.

Hair mask - Apply through the lengths of the hair and cover the hair (a shower cap works best). Leave on for a couple of hours or even overnight then shampoo hair as normal to remove the product. Your hair should feel much smoother and appear more shiny.

Moisturiser- Massage coconut oil into the skin and allow it to soak in. I prefer to use coconut oil as my night time moisturiser as it can take a while to soak in.

Review : Superdrug Teeth Whitening System 14 Day Treatment Kit

Hi lovelies,

I recently purchased the 'Superdrug Tooth Whitening System 14 day treatment kit' £8.99.I know that this post won't be for everybody but it was requested by a lovely reader that I do a review on this whitening kit so here I am writing one.

What's included in the kit?

The kit comes with a tooth whitening accelerator, tooth whitening gel, tooth whitening toothpaste and a mouth tray

How to use?

The whitening system operates a 3 step system - whitening accelerator (step 1), whitening gel (step 2) and whitening toothpaste (step 3) which makes it very easy to use.

Firstly you brush your teeth as normal and prepare the mouth tray by squeezing the whitening gel into it (be careful not to overfill!).

Then apply the whitening accelerator to the teeth by rubbing the accelerator pad against the surface of the teeth (at this point you have to keep your mouth open to avoid the accelerator from being removed).

Immediately place the prepared mouth tray into the mouth and hold in place by biting onto it. Leave in for at least 5 minutes, but no longer than 10 (trust me any longer will leave your mouth very numb!)

To finish rinse your mouth thoroughly to remove any residue and brush teeth as normal using the whitening toothpaste.

What did I think?

My teeth definitely do look a little whiter after using this kit, but I definitely don't think they are 'up to 6 shades whiter' as it says on the box. However if I had used the kit twice daily as recommended rather than once daily (I only have time to brush and go on a morning) I'm sure I would have achieved even better results.

I was going to do a before and after picture so I could show you the results but I forgot to do the before picture and pictures of teeth just don't look flattering do they? so you'll just have to take my word I'm afraid.

I am still not giving up on the mission to get a whiter, brighter smile so if you have any teeth whitening product recommendations please let me know in the comments below.

This kit is available to purchase for £8.99 from Superdrug in store or online (link).

Review : Bourjois Instant Dry Nail Drops review

I absolutely hate waiting for my freshly painted nails to dry. No matter how long I leave my nails to dry I always seem to smudge them. I recently stumbled upon Bourjois Instant Dry Nail Drops and I thought they may just make painting my nails that little bit easier.

Bourjois Instant Dry Nail Drops are a liquid which you apply to freshly painted nails using the pipette dropper.You don't need to apply much of the product, one drop on each nail is enough.

The drops contain cuticle nourishing ingredients too, so you could class this as a multi purpose product.

The bottle says that the drops will help to dry nail polish 2 x faster. Now I'm not sure whether this claim is true or not as I have never measured the amount of time it takes for my nail polish to dry. Although I do know that the nail drops have significantly reduced the amount of time I impatiently spend waiting for my nails to dry.

I now use these drops everytime I paint my nails and it no longer seems like a chore.

The Bourjois Instant Dry Nail Drops cost £5.99 and are widely available from places such as Superdrug.
