Skin Care Regime Update

Ok so my skin is finally starting to improve!! After weeks of using one brand of skin care products (aldi) and getting no results on Saturday I decided to try out somthing different!! Boots was having a 3 for 2 on skin care so I get there own brand tea tree and witch hazel face scrub, foaming wash and day and night spot stick!! And since just Saturday I already see a massive Improvement!!!
The scrub is suppose to be used once a week but I have used it every day just a little at night. I use the foam twice a day morning and night and the spot stick morning and night to!!
I am amazed and I hope its not just a fluke!!
Ill keep you updated!!

Growing My Nails week 1



Ok Im all into nails at the moment!!! Its somthing I never imagened Id be into as Iv bitten my nails for as long as I can remember so I have never had nice nails to paint or do nail art on!
Since doing my Blixz Nail Wraps course Iv Just been mad into my nails and wearing the Blixz Nail Wraps has helped mt to nit pick or bite my nails!!
So this is pretty much week 3 of my nail growing as Iv been wearing nail wraps for the last 2 weeks (not constantly I had a 5 day gap to let my nails recover) but Im calling it week 1 because I only really decided to put effort in this week befor it was just I couldnt Bite them because they were covered!!
Im going to be taking photos of my nails every week to watch them grow I feel this will encourage me cause I can see the progress!!!
I am also going to be giving tips on nail care...things that help me and I think might help you!!

Tip 1- Always keep a nail file handy!!!
I find I bite my nails because they might have a little chip that irritates me and I want to smooth it out and I take to to far to the point where my nail is a scutt!! If you have a file handy you can file off any chips or snaggs befor you start to nibble!!! so keep I upstairs and one down stairs (if ur lazy like me)

Tip 2- This is for Blixz Nail wrap wearers
If you decide to try out Blixz Nail Wraps (and I think you totally should there awesome) here is a little bit of after care!!
When you get to the point where you want to take them off make sure you have an hour or so to give yourself (or go get) a mini manicure!! I found my nails get all peeley after I wear them!! So soak your finger nail in vitamin e oil or any nail or skin oil for a while.... wash it off... buff off the peely bits to smooth them (so you dont start picking) then buff and shine them!! Also leave at least a week befor you put new Blixz Nail Wraps on (or a few days befor painting them) as your nails havnt been getting much oxygen under the wraps so let them recover 1st!!

Models Own


I picked up my 1st 3 Models own Nail Polishes today:)
Im going to be doing a few nail courses and have spent a long time trying to decide on a polish brand that I really like and lasts long and has great color variety that I can use in my business!!
I tried the Models Own Black Magic a few months back (my sister has it) and I just thought it was amazing!! It went on brill dried super fast and lasted for days (which is a great triumph for me as nail varnish usually only lasts a day befor chipping)!!
So I decied on Models Own!!
At the moment they are 3 for 2 in Boots so I got all 3 for 15 euro which I think is good and it saved me 7.50!!!
Today I bought
Black Magic (I love black nail polish and this is a really nice one)
Magenta Pearl (a pinky purpley shimmery polish)
3 in 1 base/top coat (everyone needs a top coat)

Blixz Nail Wraps!!


Today I put Blixz Nail Wraps on myself for the 1st time!! :) It went really well better than the pair I put on my sis at the course!!! It is the second pair of Blixz Nail Wraps Iv had on in the last week and a half!! The 1st pair lasted 5 days they would have lasted longer but on the 5th day I got a little a drunk ;) and pulled them off!!
I loved wearing them (even if i didnt like the pattern that much) because they stopped me picking and biting my nails so my nails grew quite a bit in those 5 days!! I went 5 days without wearing them to air my nails and let them get back to normal but I was getting to the point where I was getting tempted to bit again so I decided Id put them on and have lovely nails for the weekend (even if Im not going out)!!
I know they are supose to last 2 weeks and Im going to do my best to make them last that long this time but to me 5 days is awesome usually nail polish only lasts a day mabey 2(if Im extra cautious)on me because Im constantly doing dishes through the day and I hav a 2 year old son so Im quite active and use my hands alot changing nappies and tidying!!
So ill be giving a proper review on them in 2 weeks hopfully not sooner to let you know how I got on and how long they lasted!!
I love them and im sur you will to!!!

Yesterday I did my training for Blixz Nail Wraps in ASU in Swords!! I had such a lovely time!! The class was a small group of 9 which was great as you got alot of one to one help!! And the trainer was sooo lovely and friendly and very helpful!! It has really made me want to do more nail courses and I will definitely be going back for more courses there!!
We were all paired up and did each others nails for practice so I got a lovely set of Blixz Nails out of it!!
